    Well during my Junior Cert Geography exam, I had many things on the table - calculator, bottle of water, answer book, map, aerial photograph and question paper, and of course my very-hard steel ruler. I somehow swiped my elbow over the desk, knocking the steel ruler onto the floor, followed closely by my calculator. This created an extremely loud noise, cue about 100 people stopping writing to look at what happened. Everybody was staring at me, and when I went to pick up my ruler off the ground, I couldn't get my short fingernails under it to pry it up (like when you drop a playing card!) so I had to slide my answer book under it and pick it up.

    That was embarrassing :o

    Had to go to to the toilet during Irish Paper 2 the other day, i'm in the furthest row from the door. Tried to wind my way through the desks but everyone had their chair pulled back so far there wasn't an inch between the desks. Walked up and down the row twice before giving up and squeezing my way behind the invigilator who stayed stubbornly in his seat... Had quite an audience by the time I reached the door!

    The last day going into Irish paper 1 my stomach decided to make the most huge grumble/noise ever! Everyone, and I mean everyone looked around. Then for the next half a hour it continued to make noise every now and again.....

    luckily i'm not one to be really badly embarrassed, but it was still pretty cringeworthy!

    Happened to me a few times too:o Did it once in primary school....i'll always remember....accidentally flicked a pen, flew across the room and hit the teacher in the face....needless to say she flipped a lid...got away with it tho:D

    Its something to do with not holding the pen tight enough me thinks....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 233 ✭✭KealanOCarroll


    not really a fúck up....or a habit....

    ...but our exam centres are in classrooms (Euro Language College have taken the exam halls this year) and im right beside the window in the back corner. Room is pretty stuffy these days so the windows are all open....anyway the breeze keeps getting in behind the curtain and it sortof balloons out over my desk....completely covering the desk and me....really annoying so I arrived in the last day with a pair of cable ties

    ....got some funny looks off the others while i was standing on my chair ziptie-ing the curtain:P

    This was so embarrassing...

    Had a panic attack during one of my exams because I thought I knew nothing (in an exam I was counting on doing extremely well in), started crying too (but I wasn't upset or sobbing or anything, kinda like what onions irritate your eyes) and everyone kept looking at me, wasted like 15 minutes in the bathroom then trying to calm down! :(

    first exam ..english paper 1..the examiner handed out the answer booklet and then gave out the paper

    me being a smart guy decided to peel the sticky thing of the answer book and then accidently stuck the paper to it ..couldnt get it off and tore the whole ****n thing

    got a new one and then did the same thing at the end handing it up ..but only got the corner thank god!..could've been a disaster


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,842 ✭✭✭seanbmc


    In french today and this guy was sitting behind me. He is usually the awkward/quiet type so he's usually very nervous and shy.

    So everyone is writing away when all of a sudden you hear a voice from a phone saying "Hello? Hello? Shane? Will I call you back later?" It was obviously his mam, everyone in the room heard it and turned around,while he was rumaging in his pocket to try and turn his phone off his face was bright red..even the examiner smiled :pac:

    And when I was doing maths my stomach let out this huge rumble which the whole room heard! I wasn't the only one though, plenty of other people were rumbling..even the examiner which was quite funnny.

    For my art exam last year, I chose to draw a still life. Material wise, I decided on using a mix of water colours, and pastels. It was going fairly well, until I had to reach for the white paint. Now at the start of the exam, I used a palette which belonged to the school and threw a lot of paint like, everywhere on it. I also used one or two school paints, one being white... or so I thought. Turns out that the 'white paint' I started using was PVA glue! I got quite a shock when I attempted to use pastels on it like half an hour later. And it just wouldn't dry! Bloody disaster.

    During my junior cert I was on flu medication. There was a different pill for different times of the day, and a sleeping pill for night time.

    My Geography exam rolls around, and it's time to take a tablet. I was pretty loopy at the time, so genius here manages to take the sleeping pill by accident.


    ... I did not do well.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 330 ✭✭Lorrrrraine


    I can't usually eat a lot before exams with the nerves but when I settle in I'm starving. Cue my stomach roaring all over the exam hall.
    So my habit is shuffling my papers, scooting my chair and punching my clearing my throat to hide it.
    Awful. I've learned to shove a sandwhich down my throat before-hand though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 182 ✭✭Mwah

    Same, but I find the good old-fashioned REALLY LOUD COUGH does it. Or my maths set pencil case...give it a clatter and ya get away with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 427 ✭✭Keogg


    In Irish paper 2 and suddenly got really thirsty - I grabbed my drink, onewitha pull open cap, pulled it openeith my teeth and took a huge gulp, only to have some if it slide down my throat and forces me to swallow that tiny bit, needed to cough with a mouthful of water and just tried to swallow the rest of it- some of it came out of my nose!!!! I was so embarrassed, looked around, and not a single person had noticed! I got lucky :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,727 ✭✭✭Midnight_EG


    English paper 1, half of our half is facing one way, and the other is facing the other way.

    I sit at the back of one end, so in the middle of the room.


    I leaned back to stretch, had my arms out and tried to move forward but couldn't. The guy behind me had stretched too, and we linked arms and ended up stuck for a second :o

    Fell asleep in french aural (I'm doing OL) head slipped outta my hands whacked my face off the desk (really painful, PAINFUL) got a nose bleed, and everyone laughed while I was just tearing up, makes for a great story though. Really awkward.

    I don't believe that...you fell asleep during your oral...:rolleyes:

    OL French, its tick the boxes, I'd be in honours if it weren't for my poor spelling. Honestly I couldn't believe I did either, perhaps "sleep" is a bit strong since it was max like 15 minutes, but it was so sunny and warm and cozy and I'd got all my answers first time round and I was just resting my eyes, then BAM. I missed the entire section 3 and had a sore face. I'm not counting OL French so thats why I'm not ranting and raving.

    I think the confusion is arising from you typing oral, when you meant aural (listening) :)

    I have a really bad tendancy to talk to myself during exams..like motivational cringy pep talks when I'm freaking out. I never noticed until I realised that the guy who sits beside me was looking at me like I was possessed and commented on it.:o

    OMG.. I did that in primary school to, except it was a pencil..

    I just to always wiggle my pencil between my finger (Very easily distracted me =P). Well this one day we had a substitute teacher, and he was just walking down the class room and the pencil went flying out of my hand, just missing his ear by about an inch..

    He was nice though so he just made a laugh about how I was trying to asassinate him or something

    :D

    I have hayfever. Enough said :L

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 156 ✭✭SquirrelFace


    I sneezed. Except when I sneeze I scream... so I like sounded like Id been shot or something, and the entire exam hall turned to look at me, and then i started laughing hysterically at myself for trying not to laugh after sneezing so people wouldnt think i was pretending to sneeze....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 487 ✭✭muffinz


    A girl tripped up a little while bringing in the tea and biscuits, i nearly wet myself laughing i couldnt stop xD
    And not really a mess up, but while drawing the male organs for biology my inspector kept laughing at my diagram.... it must have been really bad xD


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 487 ✭✭muffinz


    and on the stomach thing: i had food poisoning during irish, and stomach wouldnt stop making noises, but they sounded like farts.. so embarrasing -.-


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,692 ✭✭✭Danger781


    For biology today, we were asked to draw a diagram to explain how involuntary reflexes work.

    I was clueless on how to draw a diagram on this, so I did what I normally do and drew a stick figure :D I put his hand on something hot with him saying ouch.. With arrows pointing from the hand to the spine.. :D
