    Oh yeah. That's me this morning in fact. Thought my lecture was in a closer building on campus that takes me ten minutes to walk to, so decided to leave late. Just before leaving I double checked my timetable to see that it is in fact in the furthest lecture theatre possible and basically have to powermarch the way there. :facepalm:
    Heres a SOTON map:



    Every building has a number and on the first week I was late to a lecture but thought id just made it in time. My lecture was in building 45 which according to the map is at the very bottom. When i got there it was a small building dedicated for students with dislexia with a sign on the door saying "There are 2 building 45's". I checked my map and the other building 45 is the furtherest building away on campus...

    WHY SOTON WHY???

    Thinking after half a bottle of vodka that drinking games with a german over a foot taller than me would be a good idea.
    I stupidly agreed to play "I have never" with a group of friends, including one good friend who knew some of my "dirtier" secrets that the others didnt.... Not my best idea... I'm now known as "Bisto"

    lets just say it's nothing to actually do with gravy or any liquid/solid etc... it's more of a clever link to the name that someone came up with.

    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.
    This takes the prize so far for me. Not only was it awkward as hell, but could have been seen as racist which ups the embarassment factor. :rofl: Wasn't she wearing different clothes and have at least slightly different hair and face? How can you not notice?

    In halls, first year, we'd be given a form to fill in about our rooms - to list any faults so that we wouldn't have money deducted from our deposits for stuff that's already broken. Everything was fine in my room except for the fact that the bottom drawer on my bedside cabinet didn't close fully. So I wrote it down. Didn't realise anyone would come to check. Then about 3 months later a complete stranger bursts into my room at 9am (I'm still in bed, asleep!!!) wakes me up and tells me he's ''here about the drawer''. I nearly ****ing screamed.
    Anyway, I said yeah fine whatever and he goes to the drawer and pulls on it really hard - the thing bursts out of the cabinet to reveal a bunch of girls knickers stuffed at the back which had prevented the drawer from closing.
    I go "they're not mine" and he looks at me like I'm a complete div and a liar (they weren't mine).


    Don't know why my uni porters decided to give a bloke my room key just to fix a drawer, I was livid lol.

    Got really drunk one night and snogged my lecturer whom I'd been fancying for ages... Next class was a bit awkward to say the least.

    There are 6 flats in our building, and each flat has a lock on the main door. Everyone else in the other 5 flats can open our main door with their keys, and we can't open theirs. I have no idea why, but there you go. So we've become the party flat, just because everyone can get into it whenever they want.

    We had a lab a couple of weeks ago and it'd been raining. The floor was slippy and I'm a clumsy sod, and as I was walking in, I tripped (over my own feet :facepalm:) and grabbed on to the nearest thing to stop myself falling over - which turned out to be our lab technician. Awkward.

    Well most recently had to climb through my first floor window as I had left my keys inside and pretty much every seminar (most start at 9am), I end up leaving home late (30 mins walk from uni) and literally have to sprint there, burst through the door and stand sweating like a d******* in front of the whole class. And calling my Accounting lecturer a c*** and then having him walk past me was hardly the smoothest thing I've ever done either.

    In my first computer lab of the second year i was installing my new harddrive and i noticed there was tape covering some pins. I hadn't been paying attention so i said to the girl next to me "Did he say to remove the tape?" she said he did so i removed it and carried on. Half way through the lab the lecturer came over because he could smell burning metal. I'd managed to fry the motherboard and ruin the computer. I wasn't supposed to remove the tape...
