Funniest thing in exams...

What is the funniest thing that has happened in an exam of yours?

I have had phones go off, water spilt, people chundering and an examiner tripping down the stairs.

When I realised I had missed out a page of questions, with 10 seconds left until the end of the exam. I couldn't do anything but laugh... hysterically.
Examiner walks around and then farts during the middle of an exam.

Awkward...

An invigilator let rip walking right by me, 5 minutes of writing time was taken up in hysterics

Some of the phrases in my German listening were hysterical - apparently 'Lange Schlange' means long queue...
Someone's table squeaking enthusiastically every time they full stopped.

In a Y6 SATs practise test :biggrin: went into hysterics over "a person is selfish/shellfish if they do x"...hmm 10 year old humour...
In my Human Bio prelim last month, this girl walked in late, sat beside me and just burst into tears - like, full blown body-wracking sobbing. No-one said a thing, so we're all grappling with the complexities of the phospholipid bilayer in silence trying to pretend that this poor lass is not having a (very audible) breakdown. Not so much 'funny' at the time, as it was painfully awkward. Hilarious now though.
An invigilator leaning against some double doors and then simultaneously falling backwards through them and setting of the fire alarm was rather amusing.
The same invigilator also shouted at someone for carrying on writing. He snatched the paper away and walked off triumphantly - until he tripped on a chair leg and sent the whole pile of papers flying.

I remember in Standard Grade French last year the woman on the listening tape would make a whistley noise every time she said an 's' :P It was hysterical!
Kid's table folded once, in a middle of him writing ;D

My pen lid was stiff and I pulled too hard, hit myself in the face, and had a massive nosebleed over the paper, desk and floor, ^_^ good times
