Out of my depthAs 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?

AlrightOnce I was taking a vocab quiz for English. I hadn't even looked at the words. I guessed on 4 (got two right) and answered "Bugger" for the other six. Got the paper back saying "This is not appropriate - Last Warning!!"
I've gotten nothing but perfect scores since.
