I once finished an assignment, which had to be handed in on paper(in 2nd year Computer Science. wtf). There was an icestorm the night before, and I stayed up all night finishing it, and actually crashed my car into a snowbank on the way into handing it in. I spent over an hour digging my car out with a plastic shovel, and finally got to my prof's office, wet, exhausted, sore, and about 30 minutes too late(he was a stickler for deadlines). I had my sob story all planned out, but as I was rounding the corner, a classmate walked by, "Hey! Assignment got extended to Friday!"

I felt like laying down and dying right there.
