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?

French - Its absoloute BollocksDuring my last 2 years of GCSE's I stupidly took French as my preferred second language.
Well after 2 years of basically falling asleep, pissing around and being a general arse in the lessons, it was time for the final exam. We arrived in the exam room sat down, I was handed a paper which had to be kept face down until the "buzzer" went off.
Off goes said buzzer, I turn the paper over, where it said "Nom" (for name) I wrote 'Le' in front of my name then drew a big sad face on each page of the exam paper, got up and left.
Grade - U (Unmarked) 0.02%
Out of my depth? - FUCKING DROWNING
