Anyone else have issues with TA's in their classes?

Last semester (online) the TA's were wrong on multiple occasions and unwilling to admit to their errors. I could also tell in their posts they had a little bit of an attitude. This semester (also online), a TA gave didn't understand why i was asking about practice problems in a math class (just lol). I've never really had classes with TA's before so I'm wondering is this is a recurring thing or not

I went to a college with primarily Chinese TAs. Most were pretty cool but the language barrier was always an issue. Made their explanations hard to understand. Really liked my chemistry TAs. They tried hard to get you to understand and were pretty funny.

Had this one TA from like eastern Europe with a sexy ass accent. She was a chubby but had a cute face with a button nose. Id bang her just because she was nice and I'd want her to say my name with that sexy ass voice as I jackhammered away

Do you have a foreign or English TA?

Just sounds like you have a shiet TA whose shiet teaching is a result of insecurity due to incompetence.

dang that sucks then. If language isn't a barrier then they're just shiet. Ive never done this myself but multiple people usually switch to a different discussion session with a different TA if its possible.

If I remember correctly you sign up for a lecture and a discussion session and each discussion section has a different TA. I dont know if it still works like that.

I was a TA in college. Students are annoying. Constant emails at all times of the day and night and if you don't respond in a couple hours they freak out and start emailing everyone. Students don't understand the meaning of the word "no" because their parents never said it to them. I am glad that phase of my life is over.

I did date two students, but I made them wait until after the semester was over, and neither lasted but a few weeks. One was a real piece of work. She dumped me because I wouldn't go to a music festival with her and take LSD. I heard later she banged a bunch of dudes at the festival on video.

Yeah when I went to university I had mostly chinese TA's. You could tell they knew their chit and were cool but their explanations sometimes weren't the best.

Funny enough I had some eastern european slovenian chick as a TA, was sexy af, with a sexy accent. however it was in a biology lab so we all wore lab coats so could not really make out her figure, she was pretty small tho and definitely not chubby or fat. Good times.

Can't say I've ever really had a problem with a TA. Except one that deducted me 10% on a paper for handing it in no less than 5 minutes late in class because the bus I took broke down. I was like damn it really be like that.
