    Anyone else do something as stupid/stupider ?

    Well this was during the mocks, but a wasp "attacked" me and I started flailing in my seat 'cos I couldn't get up. Cue lots of heads turning at the humongous racket down the back of the hall, followed by me saying "sorry" REALLY loudly.

    In the actual JC, a guy's nose started bleeding right before the history exam started and everyone just laughed for some reason, I guess we just had to for our own nerves :(

    Oh, and there was this [bleep] of an examiner down the back of the hall, shouting at everyone. "Are all the phones outside? You say Yes Miss." Jesus Mary and Joseph, how in the name of Merlin's pants were we supposed to know if every phone was outside? Was she going to accuse us all of lying if someone DID have a phone?

    Anyways, you could see the other two examiners looking at each other going "right...". They were really nice and wished us luck before every exam.

    The song predominantly going through my head was the "My Lovely Horse" music video, followed by a lot of Eastern European Eurovision songs which involved quite a fair bit of shrieking.

    Well.... :o :rolleyes: :pac:
    in my Technology exam, one of the last exams held in school because we don't do Greek or Italian or Art History, etc. the LC Tech Graph exam was on at the same time and they got all the special drawing tables. This left the JCers with tiny tables and oversized, really heavy whiteboards to draw on.

    I managed quite well until I panicked during the People in Technology question, rested my elbows on the whiteboard and upended it, sending my tri-squares, rulers, pencils, rubbers, and calculator CRASHING to the floor and making enough noise to resurrect the dead (we were in the gym for the exams and they had taken out most of the desks as there were only 15 people sitting the exam). Mortifying was not the word. :p

    Needless to say, it took me a few minutes to get my bearings and continue on with the paper -_- . Didn't finish everything in time due to this little mishap, but still got a B

    Oh yeah, technically this happened during the mocks but was still pretty funny...
    We were in the middle of the Maths Paper 1 exam and I (naturally) gave up and fell asleep, when I woke up to find my geography teacher giving me the evil eye from across the hall - then all of a sudden my friend's phone started ringing, with the Super Mario theme tune XD

    This is technically the mocks but I'll never live it down.

    During my music exam I made a simple error in my General Study, no big deal. But when I went to use my tipp-ex to correct it I knocked it off the desk, it was open. It landed on my leg and started to spill downward before I caught it.I then went to the bathroom to wash it off. It barely did anything. Now you can imagine how dried on tipp-ex looks on someones trousers near their crotch.

    I had the nickname "C*mstain" for weeks :P

    Well, during the Mocks I "lost" my calculator before the Math exams. I freaked out so much. I was on the phone yelling at my Mum to get me a new one ASAP. It was on a window ledge in the kitchen. *facepalm*

    Me being me I only bothered studying for one subject. Most of the exams went okay anyway. But when it came to music I knew f*ck all, so I decided that rather than just sitting there I might as well do something. So I made up loads of stories for the long questions and for the short questions wrote things like "I never learned this, sorry". :) Intentional, but stupid all the same.

    I'm really sensitive to noises (It's called misophonia) and, of course, I was seated beside the heaviest breather imaginable. Not only that, he had a cold. By the time business rolled around, I was ready to strangle him. Snorting and coughing and wheezing all the time. So I had been studying book keeping really hard, as I was planning to do it for a question. However, I couldn't concentrate. I was freaking out. How do I do this what what what, was what was rolling through my mind as he coughed and hacked beside me. I ended up crying (luckily no one noticed) half an hour in to the exam, convinced that I'd wasted so much time I wouldn't be able to finish the paper. I ended up leaving that question and doing business documents, which I hadn't studied... At all. Oops. I think I got a C on that paper :( But an A on the other so hopefully...

    In my exams, right outside the door is where we left our phones, one time the door was open and the school was silent however some eegit left his phone on and it went off.

    The examiner halted the exam and made us all empty our pockets to see who had the phone, she only realized it when the phone went off a second time while she stood by the door.

    The lad sitting outside our room that brought in the tea and stuff's phone
    was CONSTANTLY going off and the Examiner never said a word to him about it!
    The other people outside other rooms told him to be quiet and he wasnt
