Out of my depthAs a schoolkid, I signed up for a public speaking contest purely as a ruse to meet girls. It haunts me still: in front of 300 people, I started to speak, dried up, stood there for what felt like half an hour staring at the floor and then slowly walked back to my seat. Oh, and the girl I liked laughed.
Have you ever been utterly, completely, devastatingly out of your depth?

once upon a timeI went to a party. I only had one beer (where as I would usually be the drunken idiot) and my friend asked me to move her car. We are at someone's house way the hell back in the woods so the only light was provided by the moon. yay. So I get in her car and proceed to back it down a horribly long driveway in the pitch black dark with cars all around me when I say to myself "Self, this is stoopid just back into the guys yard and turn around." "Okay" so I back into his yard and run my friends car over a huge log and I can't get it back over it. Then everyone proceeded to the guys porch to watch these guys lift her car back over the log and into the driveway. There must have been 500 people staring at me like I was a jackass. and I certainly felt like one too. Needless to say I stopped going to parties for a while. Not really the most exciting story, but I felt like the biggest idiot in the world.
