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?

The Mathematics OlympiadYeah - read that title... the mathematics olympiad...
I'm not ashamed, trust me. My school was full of geeks and the chosen few (the top set in maths - which inexplicably contained my good self) had to sit this mini exam thing during a lunch hour.
During this time I was a lot more interested in going to the park and smoking and chatting up girls than doing maths exams 'for fun', so I raced through this exam as fast as possible.
It later transpired that if you got a question wrong, you would get minus points, so you should only attepmt the questions that you can definitely do. In my rush to get to the park, i skipped that part of the instructions, and managed to get a negative score.
I would have done better if I'd handed in a blank answer sheet.
Luckily my maths teacher at the time was quite a nice bloke and he saw the funny side. He was completely incomprehensible though as he was from Ulster - a bit like Ian Paisley but less shouty.
