How would you fail as a character in your favourite book/film/TV show?

Lighthearted!

Since becoming a parent I have realised while nap trapped I watch too much death. Greys anatomy, CSI, NCIS, Bones, Silent witness. So I decided rather than baby hearing these programmes in their sleep I'd watch some films and read some books, but I think things through too much and rather than just enjoying a good book or film like I used to these thoughts intrude into my head.

In Harry Potter, they're getting ready to head off to hogwarts... and all I can think is that if I was a witch the public transport is so shit my train to London King's Cross would be delayed and I'd miss the hogwarts express 😅

Or the divergent series and they get watched undergoing the dauntless test facing their fears to see if they're divergent. I'm pretty sure if I was divergent I'd have a hallucination based on my fear of them finding out I'm divergent and it might just give it away a little bit 😉

Tell me how you'd fail at being a character in your favourite book, film or TV show and give me inspiration of things to read/watch!
