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?

"O" Level GeographyI wrote an essay about energy supplies, and the big Groningen natural gas field in Norway. Drew a little map of Norway showing where Groningen was and everything.
Turns out the bastard is in Holland.
I got a "B" btw, so presumably I got comedy bonus points.
