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?

Failures at multiple levels: Grade 5 Theory of MusicI failed Grade 5 theory of music 3 times before squeaking through by 3 marks or points or notes or whatever the hell they're called. The only single thing I can remember learning from the experiences was just how odd the music teacher was. An absolute freak. Very, very strange man, I think he was the violin teacher in real life.
The bigger failure, however, was not putting two and two together namely making a handy link between my complete hatred of the clarinet and the knowledge that I wouldn't be allowed to take Grade 6 without the theory exam. It seems so simple now. Bugger.
I also failed O level Latin with a U having previously been scoring As and Bs. But then another very strange teacher started to take the lessons and it went downhill fast, and became the impenetrable and useless language that it actually is. His name was Mr Arnold, and he shed a copious amount of dry skin and dandruff everywhere he went.
Not sure how a posh private boy's school employed so many freaks, but there you have it.
At least I also failed to be molested by any of them, so it could have been worse.
