In some cases, the ProctorU software has false positive detections. For instance, it might flag normal movements as suspicious behavior. A student was just adjusting their chair a bit to get more comfortable, and the software thought they were trying to cheat. As a result, the student had to go through a lot of trouble to prove their innocence.
Another horror story is about the pre - exam setup. Some students have reported that the ProctorU requirements for the exam environment are too strict. One student had to spend a long time setting up their room according to the rules, but still, the proctor wasn't satisfied. This led to a delay in starting the exam and added unnecessary stress to the student.
Sure. There was a student who had a very strict proctor. The proctor interrupted the student constantly for minor things like looking away briefly. This disrupted the student's concentration so much that they made a lot of mistakes in the exam.
I've heard of a case where a student's connection dropped during an exam due to some network issues on ProctorU's end. But the system marked it as the student's fault. The student had to go through a long process of appealing and providing evidence that it was not their mistake. It was really a nightmare for the student as it took a lot of time and energy to deal with this situation, and in the meantime, they were worried about their exam results.
Sure. There was a time when a hippo attacked a tourist who was trying to take a selfie too close to it. The hippo's massive jaws opened wide, and the tourist was lucky to escape with only minor injuries. Hippos can move surprisingly fast on land for their size.
Yes. There have been reports of saniderm sticking too tightly to the tattoo. This makes it extremely difficult to remove without causing damage to the tattoo itself. The ink may smudge or parts of the tattoo may get removed along with the saniderm.
Sure. There was a call where the 911 operator heard gunshots in the background. The caller was whispering and could barely talk. The operator had to strain to hear and figure out the location. It was really scary as the operator didn't know if the shooter would harm the caller at any moment.
Sure. There was a child who caught pneumonia during the flu season. His condition worsened so quickly that he had to be rushed to the ICU. His parents were terrified as they watched him struggle to breathe with all those tubes and machines around him. It was a nightmare for them. Fortunately, after a few weeks of intense treatment, he started to improve.
Sure. There's a story about a derelict school building in Bacolod. At night, lights flicker in the empty classrooms, and the sound of children crying can be heard. Some say it's because of a tragic accident that happened there years ago, where some students lost their lives.
Sure. There was a patient who would constantly undress in inappropriate places. In the middle of the living room when guests were over, for example. It was extremely embarrassing for the family and hard to manage.
Sure. There was a renter who booked a car weeks in advance for a long - distance trip. When they got to the pick - up location, they found out that the car had been double - booked. They were left stranded with no alternative transportation arranged by Getaround. It was a huge inconvenience as they had to scramble to find another way to reach their destination.
Sure. There was a Ferby that started blinking its eyes rapidly in a very erratic pattern. And every time it blinked like that, it would make a static - like noise that was really annoying and a bit scary. Also, a Ferby in another story began to sing a distorted version of a nursery rhyme. The melody was all wrong and the words were slurred, making it sound like a horror - themed version of the song. It gave everyone in the house the chills.
Sure. There was a case where a person on Keflex developed a very high fever that wouldn't go down. It was a strange and scary reaction as the fever was persistent and accompanied by chills. The doctors were initially puzzled because the patient didn't seem to have an infection that could cause such a high fever.
