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?

GCSE Film StudiesI was one of the few people in the UK to take this exam back in '88. The course was developed by our teacher, Mr Chambers: a balding pervert with green rings of fungoid perspiration under his arms.
It soon transpired that every retard in the school had taken this subject in order to watch films and do no work. I spent most of each lesson dodging missiles from the troglodytes on the back row, most of whom had been expelled by the time of the exam.
I decided to fail the exam on purpose (needing only six out of nine passes to go to do A' levels). One of the questions required me to describe a film which exemplified a genre.
My choice was "Out of the Closet", a circus film starring John Wayne as the camp trapeze artist with a yearning to be a woman. Clint Eastwood was his boyfriend and the director was Sam Peckinpah. It was a musical ... in black and white ... filmed as one 2-hour tracking shot ... from a hot air balloon ... on location in Slough. Liz Taylor, playing a lezza serial killer with green hair and Tourettes, was beheaded at the end.
I didn't fail. I got a G. It's on my certificate.
