What terrible decisions did you make while you were mad, and how did it play out?

0:06.7

Telling a judge, whatever, screw this court in the city of Richmond. The consequences? 30 days in

0:13.0

jail for a contempt of court charge. I regretted that one. I punched a cop in the nose and

0:18.8

broke it. It was instinctual after having a fricking

0:21.5

horrible day coupled with some creepy mother effer following me around for four blocks.

0:26.4

I thought it was the creeper, not the cop that I hit, when I felt a heavy hand on my shoulder.

0:31.4

The cop was freaking out on the ground and his partner pulled his weapon on me, yelling to put

my hands up. I had to explain why that mistake happened. It worked out okay, but I had to go to the police station to explain my story. Found out the cop was about to ask me if I'd noticed that my wallet was about to fall out of my pocket.

1:18.5

whatever other deity. Let's go with Odin. Praise be to Odin. When I was 19, I worked at a summer

1:26.4

camp as a sort of supervisor for a group of counsellors.

1:29.6

There was an event coming up and I'd wanted to take the day off in order to attend.

1:33.6

My boss insisted that it wasn't possible for me to take the day off, so I decided to call in sick

1:38.3

because it teed me off. Now, knowing that I'd need a note from my physician, I actually went to

1:43.8

the doctor the following day.

1:45.4

My normal doctor wasn't in, and a nurse practitioner was filling in.
