A substitute teacher who came in with the explicit purpouse of not actually working. Instead of actually teaching something, he only talked about things he was interested in with the students. And he also made very uncomfortable questions and requests. He once asked me to speak in a regional dialect of my native language in front of the classroom. I refused.

I don't get the Bill Gates thing. I remember some involvement of coworkers in the 1980s MS vs [pretty much everyone] lawsuits and there were some egregious business abuses by MS, but since he left, his projects are really good. What is the hate? Is it based on the conspiracy theories or is there something really bad he's done?

She tried to make us make our own test. When we didn't want to because we didn't know the material well enough to know what is important. She was very spiteful about it. The test she ended up making was absurdly poorly designed, riddled with spelling and grammar mistakes, and filled with gotcha-type questions. I got the highest grade with a 60% and when I complained and pointed out the mistakes on the test she gave me extra credit for "standing up for myself" and tried to play that off as the real test. The whole class reported her to the head of the department and she was fired immediately after that semester.

When I was in 6th grade our teacher had a “ticket system” you could earn tickets through out the year to participate in the end of the year classroom auction. I would sell candy/gum for like 1 or 2 tickets a piece, and he “caught me” confiscated all of my tickets, and never let me earn more through the year. I still hate you Mr.Rogers (I hope he sees this somehow) lol!
