I've been greatly amused by examiner trick stories lately, like Dudley's
story of an examiner bringing in his child to have the CFI candidate teach
him lift. Or the one where the examiner failed the flaps and asked the
student to find the ground frequency of the airport at the same time to
see
the reaction.

What other favorite examiner tricks are out there?

Its pretty common to ask the student to do something in order to
distract them from making a mandatory call or pull the gear breaker.

Correct, ask the student to do something noisy so he can't hear the CB
get pulled. A 15A breaker makes a noticeable Pop. in my case, it was "Let's
go do some clean stalls", which got the gear and stall horns going.
