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?

Not myself, but the class numpty in R.E.Back in school, many moonies ago, we had a guy in our R.E. class, who for argument's sake was called Brian Barnard (fuck the anon stuff). A typical R.E. based question was asked, which was rather surprising as all of us knew the answer. Well all of us, bar 1;
"Can you tell me why we celebrate christmas?"
Big show of hands - up, even from the bullies on this £100 starter question from Who wants to be a Millionaire.
"Brian, can you tell me?"...we glance over as he didn't raise his hand.
"Erm...errr...we have presents n that.."
"Yes...and?"
"Erm....er...decorations n the tree n that."
"Ok...what else?"
Brian, digging from the barrel now "Family have dinner together..."
"Think more to do with God and that Brian."
"Dunno miss."
"Birth of Jesus? How about that you thick cunt." Ok, well she didn't say that, but the look she gave screamed it through a megaphone at all of us. Thick backward twat.
