Do not eat crunchy foods during a test!

I was writing a final today and a girl in my class was eating an apple. When the room is completely silent sounds like that are magnified about 1000 times. All I could hear all through the test was CRUNCH! SMACK SMACK SMACK! CRUNCH! It was distracting and getting on my nerves, not to mention some of the other students (who were glaring at her). I would like to have told her to knock it off but we aren't allowed to talk during exams. What should I (or the other students) have done in this situation?

kingsrings:
Why didn't you go up to the teacher and privately complain to him about it? He could of told her to knock it off.

You could have done as I have during one of my last finals I remember.

This was a room full with something like 300 people. We're "happily" working when one of the students starts making very loud noise, and then he turned to the neighbor behind him (a very nice little old lady) and started speaking o.O .

He even went out several times, without consulting anyone, of course. At some point, while he was out I raised my hand, asked the person who was watching us if there wasn't anything we could do.

She replied... and I'm not joking here "Well, you could always go at it together and strangle him. Or something like that." They couldn't do a darn thing themselves, cause, had they called security, the guy could have sued for assault!!!

The worst thing is, we knew the guy was an extremist Islamist or something to that extent... He was always talking of going to bomb buildings, going to Afghanistan to learn about techniques, and was veeeeeeeeeeery creepy in general.

O.O

Clara Bow:
What school do you go to where eating is permitted in the classroom?? The instructor should have immediately put the quietus on that! Clear your desk means clear your desk!
I'm taking finals right now too, and in my current state of stress I think I would have lobbed a desk at her without even thinking about it....

I suppose that would have been the smart thing to do.  :-[
