I started full time work at 16 ( a long time ago!).

1st day going to work , i got on the tube, and too my absolute horror , didn't recognise the names of the tube station names, as the tube passed through,  i didn't realise the tube ran in different directions and i'd got on the one going in the opposite direction....

How had you planned to get home then? 

It was the circle line

I was trying so hard to stay awake as a lecturer droned on about magnetic fields. 

He suddenly stopped and said, 'Raith, do they attract or do they repel?'   Ah I thought,  he's giving me a 50/50 I've got to go for it.  I went for Attract.  There was a collective sharp intake of breath in the classroom that told me they (whatever 'they' were? ) actually repel.   The lecturer then asked me two subsequent questions, both of which I managed to get wrong.  My God he was on my case for the rest of the week, he'd often ask if there were any questions - but that became, 'have you any questions Raith?' 

That week couldn't end quick enough.   

reminds me when my mate next to me was caught daydreaming by the teacher, got asked a question and i whispered the answer "cheese" which he promptly gave with confidence. Cheese had absolutely nothing to do with the subject matter or what the teacher was talking about. I think the teacher wasn't even angry and was literally taken aback.

I had a friend in primary school who was well-known to be top of the class. Sometimes, when the teacher asked the class a question, he'd mutter a wrong answer under his breath, just so that kids would overhear it, and eagerly offer it as their answer.
