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?

I really do think I failed but...... the examiner disagreed.
A level english, the night before my last paper.
Instead of doing the sensible thing and revising I got swept up in the glory of all those around me who had got through their exams and proceeded down to the local public house, got friendly with the barman, coerced him into a lock in for me and my mates and as thanks got jiggy with him on the roof terrace - like you do.
The morning of said exam dawns and i do the walk of shame to my home (luckily further down my street) change, and wend my way merrily to school, feeling a little the worse for wear.
The cold hard reality of the situation dawns on me when outside the exam hall everyone is running around bleating quotes at eachother and intently studying their copious notes. And here am I having done precisely Fuck All.
I scrawled 5 pages of bullshit, inserting my own quotes (definitely nothing jane austen ever dreamt up) and left.
So... results day dawns and I'm feeling a bit fucked off with myself as I was predicted a pretty good grade for English and this might seriously interfere with my university plans.
I open the envelope with some trepidation and scanned down the page. It was one of those moments you can only dream about. Manna dropped by the gods into my lap. The examiner (who must have seen through my bluster about 2 seconds in and sussed the cause) had obviously been impressed by my brass neck to turn in a paper so shite and given me full marks. FULL MARKS! Proof that every now and then miracles do happen. I got a B overall.
