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?

Bicycle (Lack-Of ) ProficiencyWhen I was 10 I was knocked off my bike by a boy racer driving a 'Knight Rider' styled Ford Capri..although badly shaken by the incident, as a 10 year old would be expected to be, I bravely decided I needed to get back onto my bike as soon as.
My mum also decided for me that the best way to keep me safe was to do the Cycling Proficiency test that the local plod ran at our school. Understandably I was lacking confidence on my bike having been nearly squashed like a hedgehog mere weeks before and proceeded to make a right old mess of things and failed the course-the only one out of 20 to do so-..what really capped it off for me was that the sadistic, bullying copper running the course not only took us down the very road -in heavy traffic- Id recently nearly cashed in my chips but was also nice enough to let me hear him say the following to one of my teachers:
'Whats he like in school? If he cant pass this course he must be a complete spastic'.
