I pull over, hands at 10 and 2, trying to look like the model citizen I am. The officer walks up and goes, “License and registration, please.”

First, I reach for the glove box and accidentally smack my sunglasses off my face. They bounce into the passenger footwell. I lean over to grab them and realize it totally looks like I’m reaching for a weapon. Cue the cop’s flashlight clicking on like a spotlight in an interrogation room.

At this point I start over-explaining everything. “Sorry, officer! I just dropped my sunglasses! They’re prescription! Not drugs! I mean obviously not drugs, they’re glasses, haha!”

He gives me the “wtf is wrong with you” look. I hand him my license, but my hands are shaking so bad I basically fling it at him like a playing card. It lands halfway out the window.

He just sighs and goes, “Sir, your taillight is out. Get it fixed.”

TL;DR: Got pulled over for a broken taillight, panicked so hard I acted like I was auditioning for Narcos: Suburban Edition.
