Just Try It!
I’m driving back to college from my grandma’s house, holding my hand up to my ear to hear myself better as I practice for a choral performance a couple of days from then. An officer pulls me over and is surprised to see that my phone is actually packed away in the back seat when he asks me to retrieve it.
He asks me what I was doing, and I awkwardly explain the thought process behind hearing yourself better when holding a hand to your ear. Then I went and made it more awkward.
After a long stoic pause, I panicked and couldn’t think of anything else to say so I went, “Just try it!” and started singing on the side of a two-lane highway in the middle of nowhere. He let me off with a warning. Story credit: Reddit / SynchronizedCalamity
