This weekend, a Texan who couldn’t stomach waiting in the Whataburger drive-through line got arrested after he violated literally the one line-cutting rule: Never draw attention to yourself. Unwisely, he chose to impersonate a police officer by wheeling into the parking lot in a Dodge truck that he’d outfitted with sirens and flashing lights, forcing the other cars in the line to move out of the way.

His trick failed spectacularly, though, as there was an actual off-duty cop nearby who immediately became suspicious. There’s no telling how many hours it took to prep his disguise, which included a uniform, but the man said he’d used the trick to get through some stoplights as well. It probably wasn’t worth it: This incident could land him in prison for a decade.
