So I’m mid-exam, already sweating bullets, trying to look professional for my invigilator - webcam on, full-body view, the whole deal.
My invigilator, that is watching me for the next 3 hours has this absolutely beautiful, thick accent, and I’m hanging on every word because I do not want to mess anything up and get flagged.
She asks me to show where my phone is, so I do. I’m standing there, laser-focused, waiting for her next instruction. Then I swear to God she says:
“Please click your heels as fast as you can back and forth.”
My brain short-circuits. I pause, blink, and - just to be sure - I ask her to repeat that.
She says it again. Clear as day to my stressed-out ears:
“Click your heels as fast as you can.”
So I think, “Well, weird request, but okay - she’s the authority here.”
I plant my feet.
Straight face.
Full-body view.
And I proceed to click my heels together twice. With confidence.
There’s a long pause.
Then she says -slowly, sweetly -
“No… please click on screen.”
I have never felt my soul leave my body faster.
So somewhere in the invigilator servers is a high-definition recording of me, dead serious, obediently heel-clicking like Dorothy trying to teleport out of her degree. 💀😭
TL;DR: Misheard my exam proctor’s accent- thought she told me to “click my heels as fast as I can” - so I stood up mid-exam, dead serious, and did a full Wizard-of-Oz heel-click before realizing she meant “click on screen.” 💀🎓
