I have been warned about deer on the runway, but not cows.
Not sure what I was supposed to do about the deer, other than hope I didn’t hit one.
The ATC didn’t give me permission to go around, but perhaps that was implicit.

Low on money
Basel TWR asked a Private Pilot to orbit his Cessna late downwind due to traffic on the ILS and kinda forgot him there.
After MANY orbits the pilot calls TWR with a slightly distressed undertone.
TWR: Oh, Hotel Bravo ABC, are you low on fuel?
HBABC: No, we are low on money!
