I once asked rather involved word problem about the price of a sale item. I ended with “I have budgeted x dollars for this product. Can I afford it? One student just wrote “yes.” Dammit. I had to give him full credit because it was my own damn mistake, but I was irritated.
One of our History mock exams contained the question "What happened in June 1950" the expected answer was supposed to be the korean war started but due to the vagueness of the question some people gave answers like "my nan was born" which still got the marks

The best part is that you got the marks.
