<p>And I feel like the biggest loser on the planet. </p>
<p>I was prepared, I was fine, and I was pretty confident that I would pass...</p>
<p>Well, flash forward to the most epic fail in the history of roadtests. It happened automatically within 45 seconds. I won't get into specifics because you probably don't want them. Let's just say it was probably mostly my fault, but the p!$$y examiner definitely played a role. And it's highly embarrassing.</p>
<p>Most of my friends don't drive yet, but those that do have passed on the first try. Around here, there's a stigma attached to failing. "It's so easy that if you don't pass, you must be braindead." My friends have all been supportive so far (my family, not so much), but it's really not making me feel any better about myself. I get my next shot in a month, which is more inconvenient than anything, because having to depend on people for rides everywhere is getting pretty old. I don't remember the last time I was more embarrassed... or annoyed with myself and everyone else in the world. And I know, I know, this isn't the worst thing in the world and my life will indeed go on, but I'm just really not having a good day. Ugh!!</p>
<p>Sorry. Just needed to vent. Can anyone empathize or am I all alone out here?</p>
