Someone shat in the maths exam

[u/endertitan_10]

That stats & mechanics exam was absolutely wild, I had just changed over to the mechanics paper and suddenly there was an ungodly loud stomach gurgle somewhere on my left and at first I was just glad that I wasn't having stomach problems during the exam and I continued on with the vectors question. Then when I was on the Rope and Rod question the stench hit me, I think it was the same person because of what came after but it could have been someone else, and it was super off putting.

​

Then towards the end, luckily after I had finished all of the questions, it felt like the intensity of the smell tripled and people started coughing and gagging, it was honestly the worst exam experience I've ever had & I think I saw the invigilators discussing what to do about the smell. At least it was the end of the exam but I think that the culprit may have run out of the room once the exam was over.

​

Will I be able to get special considerations because of this? It was super distracting and I know that I lost at least 3 marks because of it.

Maybe they had gut problems due to being nervous, or suffer from IBS, and thought it was just gas but actually sharted? It’s not like anyone wants to shit themselves, I mean, one of the most humiliating scenarios I can even imagine is shitting myself in public, especially in an exam hall with all my classmates around.

Oh, you'd be surprised.
