Today, I failed a major exam. It wasn't because I didn't prepare for it, though. I failed because somebody sneezed during it and I said "bless you." Apparently, that's classed as cheating. FML

Hi OP here. Thanks for all the supportive comments. I got my mum to go in and complain to my school but they kept insisting that 'rules are rules.' So maybe bless you secretly means the answer is C but I will certainly never bless anybody when they sneeze in the middle of an exam again.

Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Next time your prof sneezes condemn him to Hell. "May your soul belong to Satan, you unholy demon-spawn. "

Everyone knows that bless you means the answer is C!

I feel you op, I was once accused of cheating before the test even started.

That basically happened to me the other day in my Econ class, but he let me retake it the next period after I told him that his action of taking my test was unnecessary. Talk to your teacher/professor and see if they'll change their mind!

Manners? Nah. Sounds like the examiner is atheist. I *almost* commend him.

I'm not saying YDI but I think they explain that there is no talking. Especially with standardized tests, it can invalidate the score, or at least here in Alabama. Not sure about Ireland.

honestly I wouldn't let this go, you should talk to your professor, and if they refuse, then take it to the Dean. failing a test isn't like a simple thing, it risks the fact that you gotta pay for the class and waist more time and money taking a class again (if you're in college).....if in high school then talk to the teacher and go up from there...the money part doesn't count in this one.

How dare you be polite to someone. Never again . Man I'm sorry OP, maybe if you talk to your teacher or a counselor at your school and explain what happened and you in fact did not cheat, you can take it again.

Oh OP, I feel awful for you... It COULD be considered cheating, but obviously you weren't....
