Short of my experience a quarter century ago, I've only managed to run off the runway when turned loose on practicing crosswind landings. There were no lights and the mechanics watching me thought nothing of it. "It happens. You just happen to pick a good place for it to take place. You'll improve." With no edge lights, I got lucky.
But, I'll be interested in hearing more about another guy from today...
A guy departed Georgetown (GTU) for San Antonio. Georgetown is a Class D and the tower was in operation. Approach asked him if he was cleared for takeoff. He claimed he was cleared by approach.
Approach Controller: "I'm approach and I didn't clear you. Advise when ready to copy a phone number. Call immediately upon landing."
Uh oh... Can you say, "Pilot Deviation Report"?
