Ok not the funniest but something that happened to me while in a hypo manic state. I almost got arrested while doing my job. Twice. My job involves driving and sometimes in the wee hours of the morning. One early morning I parked my vehicle on the street but kinda close to the corner. Some guy drove up and said "Hey are you going to park there?" Thinking this was some random dude who should just mind his own business, I replied "hell yeah I am going to park here. What the F do you care where I park!" Well that dude was a police officer in an unmarked car. He asked for my ID and insurance and registration and wouldn't you know that my cards weren't up to date. Everything was current but the new cards no in my car. A family member brought them to me and I was lucky enough to get a warning for mouthing off. A year later I was out there driving in early hours. The roads were empty and I was listening to loud music and distracted by all the thoughts in my head sort of oblivious to the outside world. I ended up speeding past a police car. I got pulled over and wouldn't you know my cards were not up to date again! The officer got me going 25 miles an hour over the speed limit and informed me that it was an arrestable offense and that I could be summoned to appear in court. I was lucky again only to get a warning for driving unreasonably fast. My employer never found out.
Thanks for this!
