20 Times Someone Took a Situation Way Too Far

Everyone has weird impulses. Maybe you have intrusive thoughts, like a maniacal little voice in your head telling you to jump whenever you walk across a bridge even though you’re an otherwise well-adjusted person. Maybe you can’t stop picking your nose when you think no one is watching. Maybe you just like to dance naked around your living room. Only God can judge you and Matthew McConaughey.

But sometimes, a harmless impulse quickly spirals out of control. You might start by dancing naked around your living room, but then it becomes every room, for four hours, and you left the windows open and the music up a little too loud. The next thing you know, you’re explaining to your neighbors exactly how many sets of maracas you own.
