Has anyone else had similar experiences as I am feeling very humble, please tell me that I am not the only silly person out there.

Yes, but my boss was man enough to say he was petrified at the thought of flying with me when I started to take lessons, and hence no further invitation was issued....
....rather than bluffing it out, nicking the keys to the aircraft at the last minute when I was doing the A-check on the aircraft, hiding them down his y-fronts, feigning disappointment after 2 hours of fruitless searching that no flying was to be had, and then burying them at the back of the garden when he was safely back home.
If you get my drift.
