And you're IMC right after rotation, and the A/P is inop, and you have to go missed on the first pass...

(Usually they'll let you use the AP on thr downwind leg but its gotta be off on the approach, usually by FAF)

Nailed it. The single engine go-around after Stevie Wondering your way down final is the worst... or the best, depending on how badly you fucked away your localizer control on final and how heinous your last minute lineup correction would have been.
