Exams may be a little stressful, but every now and then something so hilarious happens that everyone’s spirits rise. These nine humorous accounts of odd clothes and unexpected visitors that happened during tests:
- It’s Taco Time Even though it’s common for students to be late for exams, what would happen if they showed up looking like tacos? A TA for calculus claimed that, with ten minutes left, a student barged in dressed as a ghost from Halloween. After a hectic night, he didn’t have time to change and started writing. Despite his unusual outfit, he was allowed to finish the test in the few minutes he had remaining.
- Rushing into Comfort Zone A student told the tale of a peer who entered a biology exam in the middle of the session barefoot, disheveled, and still wearing pajama bottoms. All he had in his hand was a pencil, clearly an indication that he had overslept. Luckily, he got there right before his test began.
- The Invigilator’s Phone: What happens if the invigilator’s phone rings, even though cell phones are not permitted during exams? After 10 minutes of chaos and frustration, it was found that one of the exam supervisors was the owner of the noisy ringtone. What an irony!
- A Misplaced Wall Flip Not everything about exhibiting goes as anticipated. The teacher briefly left the class as a high school student attempted to backflip by kicking off the wall. Sadly, his leg went through the walls and into the adjacent room where the students were calmly finishing up their exams. Imagine a leg coming through the wall in the middle of a test; it’s priceless.
- The Problem with Pigeons Exam mayhem ensued when a pigeon decided to join the students, causing order to break down. The bird entered the classroom, distracting the two teachers, who tried to catch it with a makeshift net but were unsuccessful. Eventually, the bird decided it had enough and flew away on its own.
- Even when a student advanced, using the Vocalist Memory blanks makes it difficult to show for exams. He slammed the keyboard with an angry curse and read the first question on an economics test. He was frantically gathering his things and heading outside before he had even answered one question.
- Absolute Lie Throughout the exam, a few men who felt it would be a good idea to cheat started a casual conversation in Arabic, which I can speak fluently. They were astonished to hear that it was improper for them to be talking throughout the test when the professor caught them doing so.Their comments were exactly the same, which further undermined their argument.
- Distressing Diversions Who in the exam looks forward to seeing a cow? A student told the tale of a cow that loudly mooed as it broke through a window and put its head into the exam room before being escorted away. That disturbance to the exam is absolutely not normal!
- The Passive Lie A shrewd student saw that her fellow student was copying her test answers. So she typed in all of her wrong answers, waited for the cheater to turn in his paper, then calmly corrected all of her wrong answers to the proper ones. The look on his face when he realized what had happened? Insignificant.
These stories remind us that even in the most difficult situations, humor can occasionally surface!
