^^double suck
Sponge_Bob, where the heck to you live that you get the cops called on you for standing in the road? Must not be much crime where ever it is that they actually respond to that call.
It was along a 6 lane stretch of highway (4 lanes main, with 2 lanes running along for a long exit off ramp). The car broke down on the 4 lane part, but I walked over the 2 lanes to get to the side of the road to not get hit. The battery was dead so I had no hazards and after dark all people could see was someone standing on the side of the road if they were driving the 2 lane portion.
I was stuck trying to exit the parking lot from our test venue for 45 minutes!! Frustrating thing was that there was two lanes to exit, and the morons in front were only using the one lane. I was at the end of the line going f*cking BANANAS cause the other lane was clear but I couldn’t get past all the cars to get to it. Finally after 45 minutes of people being complete morons, I was able to squeeze past the fools on the left and get through the second exit. As I drove past all these idiots, they were all looking at me like I was crazy (at this point I could have killed someone). After pulling through the other exit, I peeled away and gave them all the finger. Thing that drives me totally bonkers is that some of these clowns are going to pass… There’s an arrow pointing OUT and a little light that is GREEN… HELLO PEOPLE, OPEN YOUR F*CKING EYES! If CFAI gave points for common sense, I think the pass rate might fall even more, to like 25%.
true that glen, should of seen the hassle leaving T.O parking Lot. I was a complete d**k but you had to be. These morons driving must be just out of driving school it was horrendous. I pulled a similar stunt move just like yours. Entailed me going on the shoulder (i.e making another lane of traffic to help the outflow), but to my amaze no one followed my lead. Like to say thanks to all those suckas (about 25 cars) for being such morons and not clogging up my getaway. Had a crappy spot in the parking lot plus slammed a beer but made it to Mid Toronto but 5:35, not bad timing if ya ask me.
The guy beside me, kept grunting/snorting every 2 minutes. It got worse in the PM session. At one point I almost wanted to punch him in the face!! To top it off, towards the end of the PM session, the dude let’s a big one RIP! LOUD! I was like sh!t dude.

Was that at the back of the arena, or off to the left. I was right at the back two rows from the front of the L3 writers in that area. There were more L3 writers off to the left hand side. If he were in the middle section, that would have happened right in front of me and I didn’t even notice. After how long it took us to get out of there for lunch last year, that seemed speedy quick this year.

In Hong Kong, I once took Level 2 in sandals, trousers and t-shirt. What a mistake!!! The room was so cold that by the end of the 6 hours I was literally shivering from the cold. It kept me awake though

In Hong Kong, I once took Level 2 in sandals, trousers and t-shirt. What a mistake!!! The room was so cold that by the end of the 6 hours I was literally shivering from the cold. It kept me awake though Thong shorts? Yeah, that would be a bit surprising.

I did it without even thinking about it and didn’t even realize it until about two days later - “man, I brought a lot of pencils.” I’m sure all the guys around me were probably laughing about it…in addition to my hot pink earplugs complete with a compact carrying case.

I could have sworn I heard a whistle go off a couple of times and for some reason I thought it was people being caught for “violations”…once again, the hot pink earplugs.
At the start of the AM session, I was surprised to see instructions for completing the LIII essay portion of the exam. Turns out the Proctors were handing out the LIII paper in error. From scanning the LIII forum, maybe I should have just gone straight to LIII & hoped for the best?

After the AM session as the time was called I just managed to finish circling the last oval. The proctor was standing right behind me and didn’t say anything. When I came back for the PM session she politely told me that I have been reported for writing after time… I was stunned and for a minute could not speak anything… Only I know how I managed to complete PM session. Finally when PM session ended the proctor said, “Stop writing or you will be reported” as she looked sarcastically at me. After the exam I was waiting for a friend and the proctor walks by. She stops and asks me how I am doing. I said, look I prepared so hard and you have reported me without any reason. She said, " I have only reported that you marked an answer and that will hardly make any difference. We are supposed to report a few incidences every time. I am really sorry and good luck with everything" I just kept quiet and walked away… Have been in a rollarcoster ride since then…
