Here's a good one that I recently experienced:
When you switch to writing in another language for faster note taking. When I was in my advanced English class the other day, I was taking notes from the bored and instead of writing "he is" and "he has", I just wrote Он и у него because it just seemed so much faster while writing, and then I continued making little notes in Russian all over my paper, and then I realized I had to hand it in, and it was all in PEN! :O My teacher now thinks I'm a freak. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Taking notes from the "bored": did you mean "board" or were you making a clever pun? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

That's how I take my notes, whenever I find a syllable that can by a kana I sub it in and kanji as well, most German words end up being longer so I can't sub them in often unfortunatly. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Similar to ruskivyetr's post.
When you're taking your notes and slip in other languages because they're shorter and faster to write. I do this all the time in Theology class because we write an average of 6 pages a day. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Haha my bad. I was going to say "I was bored" but I guess I just thought "I was taking notes from the board" and mixed up the two words :). 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||
