Craziest thing you’ve ever done: When I was young and just out of college, I went to a club on one Friday evening with five of my friends and parked the car in the parking lot. When we came out of the club at 4 am on Saturday morning, we were tipsy and forgot where we parked our car. So we decided to go home, sleep, freshen up and come back in the evening to get the car. We went in the evening and the cycle repeated. We left at 4 am on Sunday morning and again didn’t remember where we parked the car and decided to go home and sleep and come back on Monday morning. When we went to get the car on Monday, we were charged a heavy fine as the car was parked unattended for 3 days in a row!
