In (what should have been) my second-last semester of school I had a very solid job lined up for post-graduation. Then I D'ed a course by 3 points on a 150-point exam, which meant I had to tack an extra year on to my schooling, and lost the job. What really kills me is that there was an assignment I didn't hand in for that class that would have pushed me over the edge - it was done and all, it was just cold that day and I couldn't be assed to bike to school to submit it.
Having said that, the job no longer exists (the company got bought out and everybody fired), I got a much cooler job that summer by chance, and now I'm in a whole new industry doing stuff I love - so it ended pretty well. But I still consider that course one of my great failures.
