    Throwing a grenade for the first time...hoping I didnt drop it before I got to throw it.

    Iv been nervous on a few occasions on overseas service.

    Catching my bits in my zip, when you cant pull the zip up or down. That makes me nervous.

    Taking control of an airplane for the first time.

    Running really fast downhill when you know you can stop without belting into a tree.

    Waiting for either one or two blue lines to appear on the pregnancy test.....

    Hands down the most nervous I've ever been.

    Waiting for Magic Mushrooms to kick in. I can understand why people have bad trips; it's not a nice feeling.

    ''Nick-knacking'' the neighbourhood psycho's house back in the day was particularly nerve-wrecking.

    The driving test. Was in a total state the first time, second time out, just pretended he wasn't there and drove where the voice told me.

    Also, the first time. ;)

    i had to do a reading in front of the whole school for mass a few years ago.. walked up sheeting bricks cause i hate any and every form of public speaking.. psyched myself out by looking at everyones face, then i started reading... only to realise half way through that i was reading the wrong reading, stopped and said fuck it realy quietly and read the proper one after.. the only thing was, everyone told me after that the mike kind of picked it up wen i said f**k it and everyone heard it... AWKWARD!!! :P

    I always find the first day in a new job to be particularly nerve racking. I always forget everyone's names and I hate that feeling of not being sure what the hell you're meant to be doing.

    Flying.

    This always scares the crap out of me. I have come close to panic attacks on flights several times. This is rather out of character for me 'cause I'm normally an unbelievably relaxed person.

    I was pretty nervous about living on my own for the first time and when I had my first day at school.

    Bit of a bump but I like this thread.

    Anyway: for me it was asking a girl out. It wasn't even the fact she might say no or whatnot. It was "WTF am I meant to do/what way do I act?!".

    Of course it was followed by a lovely "no, I'm sorry but" "so no as in... never, yeah?" "yeah, I'm sorry but I just don't like you like that", "ah well, could have been worse, at least I know what it's like to have been let down in a nice way".

    That was followed by a hug and a kiss on the cheek and a lovely smile. :D

    Air Corps interview,3 angry looking lads in uniform with loads of stripes firing questions at me for 20 minutes,was just 18 at the time,also my first time ever wearing a suit which was completely soaked in sweat by the time the ordeal was over!

    Came 4th out of 25 in the interviews (uncle found out for me) but failed the medical cos of my poxy feet :(
