I sometimes as well thank the ATM.

With people queuing behind you? Hope to see this one day.

I say you're welcome and smile when they take my paper. But i wouldn't thank them, no unless they gave me a calculator or something as I'd forgotten mine or I was early and they were handing my a test.

Don't forget to write 'thank you' on your exam paper too.
On last years Physics paper, I wrote 'NO TIME!!!' at the end. Quite rude of me...

a cheeky wink is acceptable :yep:

I used to put a bit of make up on before my GCSE exams because there was a very attractive invigilator :colondollar:

I put one or two smiley faces here and there. Make them like you, make them want to give you marks

I usually just smile or whisper a thankyou when they put or pick up something from the desk.. Mainly due to habit i guess you can say thanks if you want to

I remember writing "sorry" on my Chemistry GCSE paper :s-smilie:

still managed to come out with an A but it wasn't one of my finest moments

I would've written 'sorry, but this is your job'.

ok this is the dumbest question i have ever asked

but are you supposed to say thank you to invigilators in exams? i had an AS exam yesterday and the invigilator hovered next to me after giving the exam out until i whispered 'thanks'. i'm not sure if she was just stood there, or if she was actually waiting for me to thank her.
