This is a question Out of my depth

As 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?

as an unemployed 18-year old
i decided to go for a job at our price (now defunct music shop). being a massive music fan at the time it was one of the few jobs i actually wanted. i got an interview, dressed up in my smartest suit (well, my only suit) and turned up. first of all there was a music test, where you had to answer questions about the top 40 and things like that, i got 34 out of 35, and the woman doing the interview said it was the highest score anyone had ever got in that store.

but then i had to go and fuck it up.

she asked me loads of those psychometrically-induced questions about what i thought of the store in terms of appearence, price, quality, selection, friendliness etc.

her: "so what do you think distinguishes our price from other record stores?"

me: "well...um...it smells a lot better than the other shops..."

it was at that point that i realised i'd totally blown any chances of even stepping foot in that shop again. suffice to say, i didn't get the job.
