Default Re: difference between "done with..." vs "through with ..."

The only thing I can think of is that, if I were annoyed, I'd probably choose "through with". Eg a student who continually asks for extra hw and then never does it : I'm through with creating exercises for Stefano when he never does them. "Done" there wouldn't be possible, I don't think - ?

Or is it not the annoyance but a difference between whether I'm talking about a concrete object or less tangible action ?
