    We had what may have been mistaken as a small elephant for an invigilator once, and not only did he have to walk sideways down the isles between the desks, in the middle of the exam whilst we were busy tackling the questions, we heard a massive crash. On turning round, it became evident that he had sat on a table which had preceded to crack in two, leaving him sitting, miserable, amongst the wreckage.

    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.
    I would have literally pood if I saw an examiner fall down the stairs.

    This guy got a hard on in my year 9 biology SAT. One of the chavs announced this to the whole year of about 250 people.
    In my GCSE maths exam I'd finished, was messing around with a pencil and accidentally flicked it like 3 rows away.
    Not funny was when my phone went off in my end of year Italian exam at uni :| my ringtone was "Wasted Little DJs" by The View and my class is full of rahs so it would have been obvious it was mine. Sat there for like 5 minutes terrified the invigilators would find out whose it was :P

    My funniest experience.

    Sitting there casually doing my work, and I just look to my left and just see two invigilators getting of with each other.

    Luckily for me, I had a front seat and finished my exam.

    I then thought;
    I shouldn't be erect

    An invigilator yesterday thought my politics teacher was a student and went berserk at him 'Take a seat young man! How dare you defy the examination rules and regulations!' Before he scuttled away and mumbled under his voice that he was a teacher.

    In my English lit exam, there was some guy doing his paper opposite me and randomly stopped, it drew my attention as he dropped his pen kind of loud on the table
    he then sat there for 30 seconds and slowly, very very very slowly moved up bit by bit then he took in a deep breath, held it... few seconds later he slowly moved back down again

    it was pretty obvious what he did, but all that tension - hilarious! :P

    I'm guessing a lot of these are made up but nothing like that has ever happened in my exam. The only one time I can think of anything is an invigilator fixing the time of the clock on the wall in a classroom, putting it up, sitting down for it to come off the wall hook and smack him over the head.

    A few years ago in a End of year exam, a boys phone went off VERY loudly. Wouldn't have been so funny if it wasn't for the ringtone...

    "All right stop, Collaborate and listen
    Ice is back with my brand new invention..."

    That was a FUN day at school!

    Crossing myself over 10 times sat at the desk waiting for the Span233 exam to start - I think that was funny/cringy for people to watch

    Well when it was absolutely roasting a few weeks ago we all went to the exam in like shorts, t-shirts and dressed to try and keep cool because the exam hall is always so stuffy.

    There was a young, pretty invigilator whom all the boys fancied and when they realised she was wearing a strapless maxi dress, there were quite a few nods of appreciation.

    Half way through the exam, she's walking down the aisle and trips on a water bottle that had rolled into the middle of the floor. She bangs into a desk and the noise causes everyone to look up...just in time to see her step on the bottom of her maxi dress and try to be dignified and keep walking which resulted in the maxi dress falling down and leaving her pretty much standing in her underwear as it pooled around her feet.

    The girls were in hysterics and the boys were all open mouthed!
