I once got thrown out of typing class. The girl, (yes in those days
there were girls,) next to me made the same typing error as I did, on a
typing test. When the teacher mentioned it, I said "she must have copied
from me." The teacher did not appreciate my comment and threw me out,
because I caused a distraction.
