Just reading something in one of the applicants threads inspired me to start this thread. So, what are the funniest mistakes you've made (or heard of that others have made) during a medicine interview?

I went to a interview for boots, they wanted me to pay bags behind the counters. Im crap at opening bags, so I opened them before a customer came to the till and put them in my pocket. The supervisor didnt see me until she asked me to move on to the next task. Couldnt believe I messed up in the end!

Isn't this just medical interviews?
Walking in on the medical student who has being interviewed before me didn't do me any favours at oxford I assume.

Cambridge interviewer to me:
'Are you familiar with Cock?'

In my Manchester interview, one of the other applicants mistook one of the female interviewers for a man!

Take a look in the Leicester interview thread.
