Pushing the control column into the dash when 10 ft above the runway because they think they flared too high, applying full rudder towards the dead engine during assymmetrics, pulling the mixture back turning base because they didn't see what lever they were holding, trying to take gear/flaps 20 kts above a limit speed randomly for no reason, getting out a checklist in a memory item scenario whilst the aircraft keels over towards the ground, not having done any study prior to a lesson. The list can go into many pages. Then there is the excuses, "I was about to do that, but you took over", "I know you said I need more work, but, I have to do my test now because (insert inane reason, usually running out of money or visa expiring etc)", "Another student told me this was a better way".
PS I forgot about the students who have no idea about personal hygiene, like toothpaste or deodorant.
