I sympathise entirely
Had the same damn problem last year - my dissertation was a computational project, and I was eventually forced to do nearly all my work for it at home* due to - you guessed it - twats who could see that there was high demand for computers, but had decided their browsing of Youtube had some kind of bloody priority.

I kind of hope that one of the undergrads in question will read this post. It would be nice to strike a little fear into them, as they'll hopefully never work out which demonstrator is going to be waiting to defenestrate them at the first sign of answering back...

_{*fair enough; I prefer my free, open source C compiler to the clunky version of MS visual studio the college computers had**
**Yes, I'm fully aware of how sad that makes me.}
