Strangest things you've done

[Beetlejuice]

Is there anything you've ever done that's really strange?

I once took part in a smoking focus group for $200 NZD even though I had never smoked in my life (I kinda lied in the recruitment survey) but didn't know I had to trial a smoke at the focus group so had to just pretend I knew what I was doing. It worked but I'll never do it again.

When I was 16, I slept over at my best friend's house and she had a crazy plan to drive to Chicago (we lived about 45 minutes from the Loop and only 25 minutes to South Chicago). So, we grabbed her little poodle, put it up in the back window of the back seat, got in the car (in our pajamas!) and drove to Chicago. We got lost. I don't remember where it was she wanted to go to, but we couldn't find it. Then we went to a gas station for directions but we got on the tollway to get home and we didn't have cash! This was before transponders were even a thing! We fortunately dug around under the seats and found enough coins to pay the toll. Stupid teenagers.

I drove home during a bad snow. The road going up this huge mountain was impossible to tackle. However, the hardest part was going for a mile or so up this one-way backroad that was totally covered by snow. I was amazed I did it. One bad slip would have been a stranded car, an injury, a wrecked car, a death, or a combo of these. Well, the secret was to keep driving at a steady speed.
