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?

Another one before Im off........ recent holiday competition in cheesy club for Miss *enter holiday company here* was strictly over 18s and prize was bottle of champagne so me having just turned 18 decides free booze what the hell. First round chat up random man from audience I couldnt speak for laughing and my mind went totally blank. Got to round 2 some how and had to dance round a bloody handbag!! Now I dont dance so stood there and occasinaly waved my hands like a tard. Got to round 3 and had to get a mans shirt out of the audience, managed that easily but when it came to round 4 and the trousers I sat down Id suffered enough. Worst thing is 200 miles from home and there were people from a local town (where many of my mates come from) there laughing at me....... i must have been the talk of that town for weeks.
