"As You Can See..." I'm Pretty Annoyed

  I've had an unusually large amount of substitute teachers these past few months, and I've noticed something strange. Do these people all go to the same guy who tells them how to talk to the students? Because every substitute teacher I've had in this time period--and now that I think about it, my whole school life--has started their class out the same freaking way: "As you can see, your teacher is not here today." (Occasionally, we get "As you can tell" or "Obviously") 
  Thank you so much, Mr./Mrs. Substitute! I couldn't see that was a different person in the front of the classroom than my normal, everyday teacher! Thank you SO FREAKING MUCH! Especially when my teacher is a boy and I have a girl, and vice versa!
  I mean, am I blind or something? I mean, I am, but I have glasses, and I can see fine with them, thank you! And the other kids aren't, either! Is that just something you have to say to make sure you're not teaching a class of stupid people or something, Substitute Teacher Person? Or break the ice? Do you go to many parties? Is that what you say to pick up people you find hot? "As you can see, I don't know you, but I find you very attractive." Gah! 
  BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE THAT ON MY OWN!?!?!?
