Who passed their drivers test on the first try?

My story.

Grew up in Brooklyn, was doing freshman orientation at NYU. It was supposed to be an overnight weekend thing, but I had my driver's test on Saturday morning, so I had to come back at some point.

We're out Friday night in NYC, bouncing around. Drinking is involved. I fall asleep in a dorm room somewhere with my contacts in. I wake up at 6am, contacts seemingly glued to my eyeballs. I trudge off to the subway with one of my first hangovers and head back to Brooklyn for my test.

I make my way to the place for my test, it's like 9AM. I forget to check my mirrors before I start. Now I'm hung over AND nervous. I drive around, I make my K-turn, I didn't hit anything but it could not have been a very good exhibition of driving.

Get back to my father's car, who drove me to the test. He watched the whole thing. Says, don't worry, you'll get it next time.

I smiled and show him the piece of paper saying I actually passed the test.

He just shook his head in disbelief.

Went back to the subway for the rest of my orientation week, feeling much happier and much less hung over. :)
