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?

A-Levels...Having gone to a rather questionable East London Comp (i.e. it closed down two years ago), I managed to pass 12 GCSEs (we all had to troop in to see the Careers woman after getting exam results - she didn't believe me - "12 A-Cs??... In THIS school?").
Anyhew, two years later, it's A-Level time. Now in the years between GCSE and A-Level, *some* of us found the local pub, part time jobs.etc and women.
Hence my two Ds (English Lit and Sociology) and a (just barely) grade C in Computing. Questions were asked about my lack of A-Level performance...
... my answer was that I was working for an IT company, studying for a (paid for) MCSE and did most of my A-Level coursework in the pub while p*ssed. Aparently they weren't pleased as I had been predicted 3 A grades.
And as for GCSE RE exams, I (an atheist) came second with a B grade - only beaten to first place in the year by the school's only Hindu. (Did I mention it was a Catholic School?)
