FailedOn my third driving test, I turned right out of the test centre, reached a pedestrian crossing, attempted to run over a little old lady, was prevented from doing so by the examiner grabbing the wheel, then proceeded straight back to the test centre.
The drive home was very, very quiet. I've never felt such a complete failure.
What have you failed at?

legless's joke reminds mejeccy failing to to tell an IT joke. I was tempted to reply, but i'm trying to be a sound technician, and i'm not allowed to appear knowledgeable about science or technology. no where is this more apparent than in the world of cables.
I have to repair a fair few cables that idiot guitarist have mangles, broken and chewed, becuase they think that its cool, and that as they have a recording session they have made it (i digress, cunts) However this brings me to my main point The primary diffrence between a cheap XLR/Balanced line(Mic cable) and an expencive one is:
string.
Fucking string. I chop these cable up, put new plugs on them, and test them using various tools to see if i've fucked up and soldered two terminals together. i was also expect some sort of sheilding, not three strands of copper.
Now having done electromagnetic theory, i asked my boss what properties does string give to the signal. apparently it gives a better shape.
knobs
They now want to replace all the mains cables with shielded single crystal shit, despite it being inside an earthed solid metal conduit.
