FailedOn my third driving test, I turned right out of the test centre, reached a pedestrian crossing, attempted to run over a little old lady, was prevented from doing so by the examiner grabbing the wheel, then proceeded straight back to the test centre.
The drive home was very, very quiet. I've never felt such a complete failure.
What have you failed at?

Oh bloody hell, what a question for the new yearOh well, in for a penny, in for a pound.
Age 17: Dropped out of A-level chemistry AFTER having applied to universities (Bristol told me to fuck off but good old Reading had me)
Age 21: Missed my 2:1 by less than 1% effectively killing any chance of further academia or a graduate related job (this still hurts after almost 9 years).
Age 21: Naval Officer selection - good grief, I have never been made to feel more like pathetic comprehensive school scum.
Age 29: I have just sat my Professional Accountancy ACCA finals, they didnt go great.
It's all part of life, we learn by our mistakes more than our successes. I learnt that my chemistry teacher, the University of Reading and the Royal Navy can all go fuck themselves.
