Biggest FAIL! of your life?

What is the biggest FAIL of your life?

Here's mine...

It was my first time going to take my driving test. On the way I was behind a farmer and he was going slow so I decided I was going to pass him. When I went to pass him I felt the car shake and **** started flying every where. I slid on the road about 50yds and then into the ditch, then I respond with "Did I have a blowout?" and my mom responds with "YOU DIDNT SEE THAT SEMI-TRUCK?!?! YOU JUST ******* HIT IT WE ALMOST DIED!"

I fail at driving...

Really? Damn dude. That sucks.

Ive had a lot of driving fails I dont care to mention.

Coolness fail - I was riding my bike with the bigger kids in my neighborhood, I must have been about 9 or so. We rode over to the public library where they happen to have a neat little offroad trail. At the end is this big, steep hill. The bigger kids went down no problem. The littler kids were too scared. I was on the fence, so I decided to man up.
WHOOOOSH! Down the hill I went like a champ, until...
All the excessive speed caused me to lose control, I couldnt veer right like I needed to. My head came inches away from being Sonny Bono'd on a large tree branch, I barely ducked in time, then...
POW! Front tire hits a root from the same tree, in the air I go, on my back I land, on top of me the bike falls. Its like the tree went to clothsline me, but I ducked, so it tripped me instead. I managed to get up after a few minutes with only a few minor cuts and bruises. Come to think about it, that was probably cooler than had I just veered right and went up the tiny dirt mound ramp. I failed at failing.

I was maybe 14 or 15 and I had a friend named Slavik, Slavik was Russian and he did a very good impression of his mother from time to time....

One day I called him to ask what classes he got for the next year, and he was screwing with me on the phone (or so I thought)...He kept saying ridiculously funny things with a thick Russian accent pretending to be his mom and refusing to tell me what classes he had, making up stuff about how Slavik couldn't talk, and this was his mom...ext. Then he would hang up, I would call back...same shtick....until his mom showed up at my door crying because his their grandfather had died and I was crank calling them....Never saw the kid again, he moved away a few weeks later. MASSIVE FAIL, most embracing moment of my entire life.

Sounds very embracing indeed

Whoa dudeist. Ouch.

Mine was probably getting rejected from the airforce for my hearing.

ok... wait... I'm still confused as to what exactly happened to Dudeist... His friend prank called him, and the friends mother came over crying? Care to explain?

No. He called his friend for something and thought it was his friend, not his friends mother. So he kept calling his friend (even though his friend was not there, just his mom) trying to get an answer. She then came over to his house to explain that his friends grandfather had died.

Yeah, its a very vivid and haunting memory...You don't forget a hysterical, angry, crying, yelling Russian lady with her equally angry but somewhat calmer big Russian husband looking like he wanted to shank me standing behind her.

How is yours a fail...unless you keep your amp at 11?

It was what I was planing on doing with my life for at least four years. I was going to go in, figure out what I wanted to do, get college money, and basically get a start on life. But since I have just enough hearing loss to keep me out, that plan kinda failed. So now I'm making up plan B as I go along. The good thing is that the hearing loss is genetic, and it should not get worse for many years. I have must been able to compensate for the loss, as I never noticed it. Still sucks though.

Come to think of it, it went right along with my three major fails of the beginning of the year. Disqualified form the Air Force, lost my job, and wrecked my dads truck. All within the first three weeks of this year.

this isn't my biggest fail, but i'm sure my dad thought i was a ******:

when i was little, i had a bike. i wanted a light on the bike. i begged my dad for a long time to get me a friggin headlamp for my bike. c'mon, who DOESN'T want a light for their bike, which if i remember correctly, it was an ET bike!! LOL hahahahaha i think i had a red hooded sweatshirt i used to wear when i rode it..

so my dad came home one night from Western Auto with a badass non-battery powered light.. it had a little itty bitty generator that attached on the fork and you could flip the thingy on and off (to rub on the rim) and it had a little wheel (no W(fail)son, not a MacWheel) that would generate power to turn on the light.

sooooo, we installed it and it was really dark outside!! woo hoo!! badass, perfect testing conditions. so i take off from the front door and go up the sidewalk and turn around... so i start riding and use my foot to flip the little switch, well it switched and my foot got stuck between the tire and the top part off the fork.. i did a spectacular endo from hell and fell right on my face. the light completely broke and i bloodied my face. i cried like a little bitch.

all i remember was my dad all pissed off and cussing in spanish. LOL hahahahahhaha i never got to use the light again, it was completely broken. ahahahhaha

come to think of it, he probably went to work the next day and told all his coworkers that his son is for sure a ******.

LOL

Yes I did. LMAO!!!

Funny thing is, I had a bike with one of those thingys on it. Worked perfectly. And I knew how to use it without trying to kill myself.

Getting completely ----faced before a gig and then utterly ruining that gig. And then being an obstinate @hole afterwards

JimB52 · #19 02-06-2009, 06:05 PM

Was it passing on a chance to go to Yale or Columbia Universities for free because I didn't like their Film program?
Was it blowing off the nervous, intense short guy who kept begging me to edit his student films? (Chris Columbus, "Home Alone", "Harry Potter", etc)
Was it turning down the job with MTV is 1985 because I thought they would be out of business in 2 years?
Was it dumping the beautiful woman who later became a senior VP at Rothschild?
I've got more, lots more.

Mine was probably a year ago, when I had a biology project to do in the lab, we had to bring some raw meat, well yeah we did the project and then I put the raw meat in my backpack, so I could throw it away later.
So yeah, almost a week past and I forgot all about the meat in my backpack...
It was a test day, and then we had to take out something from our backpacks, but suddenly I saw that I had the meat in my backpack... It was supposed to be a reddish color... It was green... Icky... With a little yellow liquid...
When I took it out, everyone was like "

".
Afterwards, the stupid dudes in my class started throwing the meat around and then it landed on ME.

So everytime I see raw meat I get nauseas...
