I took my first ever foreign language class and all of the sudden, this English language lecturer came and started speaking like a 19th century lady. We were all confused when she started asking us to submit a coursework since it's our first class. Eventually she finally realized that she was in the wrong class even after she repeatedly asked "are you sure I'm in the wrong class?". When she finally came to a conclusion that she was in the wrong class, she just said "Owh, sorry". Then left.

It was a moment for me and ****! for her.

So I thought I'd make a thread about people's moments of panic at University. It could be anything, from realising you have a lecture on the other side of campus as you were in the cafe, to locking yourself out of your halls because you left your keys in the taxi.

One of my favourites for me was when I turned up for an exam, sat down and began to look over the questions, and realised that, despite being an English student, I was sat in a Psychology exam and the English one wasn't until the next day in the same place. Trying to slip out without being noticed is quite difficult!

The invigilator said as I stood up "Are you stuck?". And I was like "No, I'm just in the wrong ****ing exam!". LOL

Your turn.

Really sorry, have to apologise...I accidently negged you (stupid touchscreen phone)

I'll see if I'm able to give you positive rep to negate the neg I gave you.

EDIT- So now TSR users begin negging someone who admits then apologises for their mistake.
Right...

Some drunk idiot was annoying me at 3 in the morning before my first lecture and I got up, filled a jug of cold water and threw it over the suspect. 5 minutes later a man appeared outside my room and it turns out it was someone from the uni accommodation team coming to see my flatmate who called them over the noise!
I was about to die! I couldn't stop saying sorry!
Luckily he saw the funny side and also sorted out the drunks outside the flat

Back in the beggining of my final year in university I remmember walking into my first lecture in the university cinema hall, and shortly after realising that I am the only Non-Chinese student in there. Quick recalculation of plan, and I have realised it was a wrong room. A few minutes later I actually found the right room, but to my shock and horror it wasn't any better. Infact out of 150 students of my course we had 135 Chinese, 5 British and 10 Europeans.

one of my lecturers is a proper mardy bum. some people walked in a minute late and he had a rant saying 'you will buy an alarm clock and turn up to my lecture on time'

Should have told him its right hard to remember that on a day like today when you're all, argumentative, and you've got the face on.

I've got a funny story about this actually...

Well in our accommodation there is a flat E on every floor.. anyway one day I come home at dinner time, go in my room and chill out for a bit.. hear a few people come in and go straight into the kitchen so after 5 minutes or so I walk into the kitchen to find a random girl sat there. I go in the room and get to small talk anyway, I just think she's a flat mates friend.

Then she asks 'so who are you here with?'

errrrr me?

Turns out she'd gone into the wrong flat and didn't even notice..

Actually, this story isn't that funny compared to others.

haha, that must have been really awkward for her!

It's ok. I am constantly getting neg repped, but it must be people accidentally missing the pos rep button!

Edit: Silly posters, that's the neg button, if you move sllliiiiiiiiightly to the left you'll see the right button to press

I changed courses last week and and had to go see the professor to discuss it etc, basically went to sit in the chair not realising there was an antique lampshade behind me, push my chair back and it smashed into tiny pieces. Really valuable, he was OK about it but really not the best way to make a first impression

My family asked me if I wanted to go to center parcs so obviously I was like hell yeah I do, but it meant having to miss friday and monday of uni. I realised on the Sunday that I had a field trip the next day which constitutes to the only piece of coursework to the module so had to attend. Ended up getting dropped off at the field trip on our way back from center parcs, and landed an hour and a half late at the field trip looooooool

Curious. How did your mate do?

He started revising at least 2 weeks before we did (full on revision, mind you) but he just doesn't have the natural aptitude for maths.

I always say maths is a language and you should treat it as such; grammar, spelling, punctuation and regular practice as well as a brief knowledge of inappropriate and appropriate sayings all make someone fluent. Just having one won't help much.

The poor guy tries hard and I admire him for it, but he can't admit that he needs help from people who have a knack for understanding the logic. That was first year, and I think he managed around 50 odd percent. Another mate at the time started two weeks after this happened, and she still managed to pull out 85% in one module that my poor mate only managed around 50 in with tremendous work.

Goes to show that it's not about hard work, it's about working smart.

It's also about not leaving the exam an hour early because you think you've, "done all you can do" as he so aptly put it. He walked out of an exam an hour early in his second year when he clearly could have sat there and even stared at the questions and pray for a brainwave.

lol, I almost felt sorry for the poor chap until I read the last part.

Attended an international society social at the pub.
Was talking to a Chinese girl who was drinking lemonade for about 20 minutes before she went to the toilet.
Coincidentally, another Chinese girl also in the society came in at that time and sat in her seat. I didn't notice it was someone different.
I said "So are you drinking lemonade to avoid a hangover tonight"?
To which she replied "What are you on about ? I've only just got here".

There was an awkward silence after that and i'm not sure if she realized I got her mixed up with someone else or just thinks i'm a weirdo with a crap sense of humor. Of course, about 10 other people witnessed this.

That's actually a good reaction. I would have probably froze, broke down and begged for forgiveness.

Alternatively, just run like a bitch!

Yeah, the trick is to just pull this face when they say "can you stand over here for a second, sir?":
