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?

put in my place for life..when i was in year 6, i was a school captain sort-of-thing, and i was announcing assembly. well i continously said my principal's name wrong and one day, someone cracked, he(still to this day unknown) stood up and bellowed at what seemed to be the top of his voice and said, "ITS MR.RICHARDS, F--KWIT!" i was told. so i sat down and let my partner finish the assembly...
