Your "wow im that bad?" moment in life

[Ix Rebound]

Mine would have to be when i was in year 4, our year had a sort of "pen licence" (we had been using pencils up till then) which was pretty much just as piece of paper that said "congrats" on it.
And so apparently my writing was so bad I was (to my knowledge) the only person in my year not to get one.
While i got over that quickly, two years later in year 6 one of my friends showed me that he had found my pen license, my first though was "wow it took me that long?"

Then he told me that he had found a whole tray full of them which the school a photo copied and used for scrap paper!

*sigh* what about you escapists?

That time when I burned down an orphanage for sick kittens springs to mind, though it was definitely worth it.

not quite the same but when I geniunily think somthing is good..but then the majority of people dont like it..make me question my own judgment

like for example when people say games mostly have terrible stoies..Ive thourght the stores of alot of games were great....

..so I must really now know what a good story is :/

All those times when I think "You know what would be sorta quikry funny? If I said _____".

And then half a second later I think "Oh, fuck, that'd be horrible. I could have conceivably said something embarassing I'd have to apologise for possibly in the next things minutes maybe, and it'd be the worst thing ever!" and it somehow haunts me much worse than anything else.

It seems as though the better I think I've done on a paper, the lower the grade. The ones I think sucked are the ones I get high marks on. It definitely keeps me off balance!

When I say something I think is funny and am met with stony silence.

Especially bad when you say it to a reasonably sized group of people.

Pretty much when ever we had Football lesson in PE but yet again unlike my classmate I have no passion for Footbal what so ever. I was bad at kicking, tackling and being the goal keeper.
I hated Football so much that when we were into Football again several months later, I got my mum to fake a excuse letter that my toes was acting up again (this was after my ingrowing toenail was fixed but I still had some minor problems).

This. This a million times. Especially when you're supposed to be the crazy/funny member of your friends. They're always expecting you to deliver.

The above repeated. Many, many times.

Not me, but someone in my class in the first year of university. We had an open-book multiple choice question (4 choices for each answer) and somehow she still managed to get 20%. I mean, statistically she'd have probably done better just guessing everything.

That sounds like me, I didn't know the difference between left and right until I was probably 15 or 16 I would always point to the direction I meant when I wanted to explain stuff directions

I didnt learn to write properly until halfway through highschool It was the one thing holding me down in the lower levels. Once i finally learnt, rocketed straight to the top.

Long time ago, in Year 7, I was handing in my art homework to the teacher.
He looked at the picture, then back to me and said

"You are the worst painter I have ever seen in my 20 years of teaching."

I knew I was bad, but THAT bad?

Took me ages as well, I used to imagine holding a PS2 controller and think "So if R1 is on the right side..."

I am the same with the clock

 

[AbstractStream]

I was the one with the lowest grade in math. People would ask me what percentage I got then say "oh good, at least I didn't get that."
I have feelings too, you know?! >>

That's actually a good way to remember xD
My nephew is a gamer and I told him to do just that.

I'm still not certain about the order of the alphabet..or the order of months

 

[Zeraki]

That's pretty much my entire life. I'm usually so far behind everyone else in everything, that it feels pointless trying to keep up sometimes.
