They Thought He Was a Robber
When I was a teenager I snuck through my girlfriend’s basement window for a happy ending. The basement lights suddenly came on & I flew out the window to find three cop cars & a canine unit waiting for me. Neighbors had called the cops claiming I was a robber. #IGotBusted

Cigarettes
Begged Mother to wear her official Polish outfit for Halloween. She did not know at the time that I was smoking cigarettes at the age of 19. She found out when she saw a huge ash burn right in the middle of the skirt #gotbusted pic.twitter.com/sVyxqcfCBb

Got Blamed for Everything
6 of us were catapulting wet clay on the chalkboard. All but me were facing the door. They all stopped as the teacher appeared. I got blamed for 37 clay splatters and kicked out of art class for the last 5 months of 8th grade. I’m now a professional artist.#Igotbusted

An Uncomfortable Mattress
#iGotBusted I got high on a Saturday thinking it was my day off and my mom decided to drop in to take me mattress shopping. I couldn’t stop falling asleep on them and every one was “the best one ever”. I ended up with a uncomfortable mattress that I slept on for a decade.

Sneaking in Snacks
I got caught by a Gestapo ticket collector entering a movie theater with a backpack full of snacks not bought in the theater. He made such a huge deal out of his big “discovery” when he checked my bag, it was like I had Russian weapons. And I was with my 10 year son! We left. 😂
