Did you ever do a lot of work, put in a lot of effort then found it was of no avail?

But you at least did gain from the experience.

    Yes. Part of life, especially learning to gain from the experiences.

      So you heard about that shipment of Vegemite finally making its way into the United States after I went through all of those efforts to stop it, right? (Those danged Australians! Grrrrrrrr.)

      I learned that I have to work much harder to be successful in these endeavors.

    I think this is good. You should concentrate more of your efforts on keeping vegemite out of the country, and fewer on sub-basement activities, violating restraining orders, no-tell motels, etc.

    You know you're plenty busy having fun with grammar-policing and the anti-vegemite society meetings.

      Well, a guy needs something to fall back on when his other conquests are taken from him.

    Yes, yes and yes.  I spent years trying to make a certain someone happy and haven't heard from him yet.
