Don’t you think this is just cruel?
Exam supervisors at a German University stuck by the rules when a student writing an exam stated that he had to urinate mid-exam due to bladder dysfunction he wasn’t allowed to exit the room and use the washroom. Nope. He was provided with a bottle to urinate in and had to do it in front of the other 120 students who were also writing the exam.
I hope no women had to pee!
The overseers of the exam told the 27 year old student of Freiburg University in South Western Germany that he’d be failed if he left the room during the exam. The man had a bladder control problem due to an accident that left him on crutches.
The supervisors wouldn’t even accompany the man to the washroom despite the request of other students.
A kind female student emptied her water bottle so that the man could use the bottle in the corner of the room to relieve himself.
University deputy head Karl Reinhard Volz apologized to the student when he heard what had happened to the student. He went on to say that the supervisors actions were unjustified and lacking in any normal human sensitivity.

This wasn’t the way this fear of flying class was supposed to end up curing their students fears- but for some this accident worked.
A Fear of flying specialist, lynn Walsey said “It was the best thing that could have happened,” Dr. Walsey’s class – which helps students overcome their terror of commercial aviation – went down in bad weather on the outskirts of Fort Dodge, Iowa.
Shortly after take off the problems began, when both engines aboard Walsey’s airliner flamed out. “No worries there,” Captain Barris Hamilton announced to the jittery fliers. “Planes like ours can glide without incident for fifteen minutes or more.” Hamilton restarted the engines but immediately lost hydraulics to the flight control surfaces. “And the landing gear” said Captain Hamilton. “Fortunately, flights land safely without gear all the time.”
Can you imagine being on this plane as it landed, sparks and metal flying as the jet made a belly landing, skidded from the runway, and finally plowed into a Fort Dodge “Chamber of Horrors” amusement center, where animatronic ghosts leaped at passengers through holes in the fuselage.
Passengers almost unanimously regard the class as a success. “I think it’s safe to say I’m cured,” said one happy student. “I’m really looking forward to my flight home.”
