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?

Bad repI worked very briefly as a holiday rep on a Greek Island. I was fired after six weeks. Here is my letter of dismissal verbatim:
"After careful consideration, on the 23 June, I am terminating your employment after a verbal and a written warning.
No improvement has been made in your performance, attitude and execution of your job. The final problems being as follows:
1) Talking guests on your transfer coach that should have been on another coach.
2) Not giving departure times to guests.
3) Not giving good service to guests.
4) Distributing roomings lists late to ----- Hotel.
5) No confirmation of arrivals to ------ Hotel.
6) Not attaching personal photograph to Display Board even after a verbal and written warning.
7) Carefree and sarcastic attitude during welcome meetings.
8) Not reporting the loss of both wing mirrors from the company vehicle.
9) Breaking company regulations by having a relationship with a customer.
10) Not keeping the company uniform in good order [the area manager caught me with the contents of a chocolate-filled croissant Jackson-Pollocked down my front].
Please vacate your premises by tomorrow and return company vehicle keys to the office."
