At one of the invitationals, my school had multiple teams. I was testing for Dynamic when one of my friends on a different team coughed extremely loudly so the entire room could hear. After this, his partner yelled out, "BLESS YOU" while being right next to him. Finally, the person who originally coughed yelled back, "THANK YOU" and went back to testing.

At the same competition, another friend was taking his test when the team next to him whispered loudly, "That's OBVIOUSLY the Mexican plate." A few minutes later, the same team said, "Isn't that plate made of shale?"

During States last year, there were only four boys on our team so we all had to share a room. I stood up a bit later studying for optics and look at my partner to see his eyes open but he's asleep. I was about to call 911. His eyes flew in the dark when we turned the lights of and didn't stop watching me until he woke up.

MI state competition 2017, Invasive Species - needing to write on trees while running around with a huge binder to the different outdoor stations (it was freezing cold and very windy outside too - not fun, but funny).

That moment when you compete in an event, but tie with those who didn't because you and your partner never got along all season.

When you find out that someone on the team is lactose intolerant after they had a huge ice cream cone the night before state in the hotel.

When you're too loud in the hotel and you get a call from the lobby telling you to shut up.

Forensics practice 2018: The question on the practice test was "what type of fiber is wool". My partner wrote vegetable.

Forensics invitational competition 2017: The question asked what the reasoning for something was, it was a general knowledge question, and we had absolutely no idea what the answer. My partner wrote "SCIENCE" really fancy and put a fancy box around it. For whatever reason they didn't accept that answer.

Thermodynamics invitational competition 2018: My partner was flipping through the binder really quickly, and ripped a page right out of the binder and released it to go flying right in my face. Thankfully we caught it before it hit the floor, and got it back in our binder before the event supervisor noticed.

Regionals 2018: Herpetology was spelled wrong outside the event room, it wouldn't be a problem except it's regionals, and it goes through way too many people (it was spelled HerpAtology by the way):
Someone had to type herpatology (twice - it was on 2 different signs), they had to proof read it, and have someone else proof read it and double check that it's okay. Someone had to print it, someone had to get it off the printer, and someone had to put it up. The saddest part of all of this is the fact that they spelled it correctly for Division B.
