What is the most insulting comment a professor has ever written on your work?

Inspired by a facebook group that was recently created.

When I was in high school and we were being introduced to MLA format and using quotes and citations, I went a little overboard on the first paper.  The first paper I got back said "This in an excellent paper, it is too bad that it was not written by you.  Paraphrase or summarize all those quotes instead on the next paper or you will fail."  I got a C on the paper, and we had a class the next day devoted to paraphrasing and summarizing multiple sources.

Also, my group and I recently got back our management paper from our professor.  It was a group paper and one of the kids was incredibly late in submitting it to the rest group.  He gave it to us at about 3 am, and the report was due at 8.  When we got the paper back, the teacher had bracketed this kid’s section and wrote “I know you wrote this 6 hours before it was due because that is what your citation say they were accessed at.  Next time read over your work and using something other than internet sources, because this section cannot stand on its own.”  We ended up getting an 87 on it, most of the point deducted were because of this kid’s section.

There was nothing written on the paper, I was just called to the administrators office during my next class.

Your professor is an idiot.  There is no reason that the rest of the group should be punished for one person's slackassery.
