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?

My only failure was to love too much...bulldust aside, the only subject i failed at school was typing which we had to take around 15 years of age. Our school had been given a few new IBM 'golfball' typewriters. I learned they had a short electronic memory so that you could type in your paragraph in advance, and release it with the backspace key. in the intermediate tests i used this technique, pretending to type while it rattled off. I hence had one of the highest speeds in the class where in reality I was shit, and too bored to improve. Near the end of the year I got rumbled, my real ability was exposed and I failed much to the consternation of my mum who was used to my usual effortless high achievement in those meaningless childhood trials.
