Out of my depth
As 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?

Vitamin C
It's good for you, and in effervescent tablet form it can make a tasty drink. Sort of.
Then one day I was sitting at work, a bit bored, and decided it might be an idea not to use a glass of water, but to suck one instead. But that didn't get me out of my depth.
It was when I started chewing.
Kids, don't try this at home, try it in the office!
