I have been listening to these kids complain about geometry all fricking day, apparently they have some standardized test coming up.
My worst class in college was Psych Stats. The professor wrote his own book. He would never take anything late. He had a hate for athletics. The final exam was a survey, study, and analysis of a topic he chose for you, and nobody was even remotely interested in the topic.
ETA:
In grad school had to take a biology lab class taught by another grad student who would get frustrated and speak in French to us. She was from Nigeria and her English was awful, about as awful as my grade in that lab.

Marriage and Family by a guy who wasn't married nor did he speak a lick of English.

I took a psychology class at a community college from a woman who hadn't even earned her Bachelors. I didn't respect her from the onset and had already taken quite a few psychology courses online and so was just planning coasting through the class.
Quit the second day when she asked us to make a collage of ourselves.

Art Appreciation.
Professor was an "artist" and took herself way too seriously. Hardest class I have taken so far and I am a junior with a 4.0.

Makes me wonder how some of these even become classes to begin with. Jesus.

Geometry class would be way more exciting if the psychedelic angle was put in play, and the the whole sacred geometry thing..
The way school does geometry is all wrong.
Stats gave me fits. Employment Law was a bitch mostly because of the professor.

Just thought of what it'd be like to listen to tribal African music for 30 minutes on end.

History of Vietnam. The professor was a huge dick about grading and made the tests 80% essay with impossible fill in the blank sections. Couldnt record his class because his lectures were copyrighted and had to buy his books even though we never used them.

Not sure they were the worst, but I hated every Economics class I ever took.

Organic II
Teacher was Russian and somewhat difficult to understand. His tests were fricking impossible and very little partial credit to be had. 10 step synthesis had the wrong stereoisomer in one step, enjoy your 1/15 for the process. I took my mercy D with a smile and moved on.

Implementation of Local Policies in my doctoral program at UGA. The prof was a Michigan grad who hated southerners. In the first class he asked who were natives of the South.
No one raised their hands, of course. He said, "Good, no southerners."
Why UGA puts up with assholes like this is beyond me.

Algebra II. My teacher was a white black lady who was a total bitch and didn't teach shite

Theoretical Algebra. No numbers, just symbols and letters. All you did was write proofs.
I had better things to do. dropped it like a bad habit.

I hated Civ Pro, easily my worst class first year.
First semester of Corporate Income Tax in UF grad tax program. The amount of homework was brutal, the professor loved embarassing students in front of the class, and we had a 3 day take home exam that pretty much required all 3 days except for sleeping and eating.

I took a sociology class my senior year for blowoff hours. The "prof" was a 26-27 year old straight out of grad school with a huge chip on her shoulder who thought she could solve all society's problems with wealth redistribution. She also had a lot of our friend Sleeping Tiger in her, she believed in literally every government conspiracy ever conceived. Full-blown 9/11 truther, questioned whether we actually landed on the moon, etc.
I spent the semester trolling the frick out of her in group discussions, so I got some enjoyment out of it but I just thought it was absurd that I was taking a class in which I knew so much more about how the world worked than the prof.
