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?

Years ago......during my A-level exams. I'd taken History, Economics and Politics (cue my Physics teacher: "All the essay subjects then *scoff*!"). I bagged an A grade for my History coursework, but this was only 40% of the mark, the rest being exams. A bad worker blames the tools, but the good teacher took the coursework bit and the bad one took the other stuff.
Throughout two the first three-hour exam, I wrote precisely four lines. The teacher, who wasn't supposed to look at the papers after they were collected, came to find me after the exam, asking what on earth I thought I was playing at. I told her the truth - that I hadn't been interested in any of the two-year course and didn't know what to write.
She told me to buck my ideas up (there was a second exam; I wrote a bit more) and then walked off. I can't be sure but she may have been crying a little. She never spoke to me again, despite many opportunities.
That'll be a fail then.
