I was at a show and had been winning all my classes that day.  I went in one of my last classes of the day and did the wrong course even though I had done it ten different times before.  I didn't get mad and neither did my trainer, but my Mom did get irritated because she said that the class was a waste of money.  But in the end, she just laughed.
