TIFU (last weekend) by playing the penis game with my best friend. Last weekend I went to visit my best friend (who lives in another state). We had a few drinks at a local restaurant and decided to walk around for a bit. We were having fun and somehow ended up playing the “penis game” because we’re super mature 28 year olds. For those of you who are unaware of what the penis game is, it’s basically a competition of who can say/scream penis as loud as possible in public. Super immature and annoying for everyone else, but it was a blast for us.

Anyways, I had a few more drinks than her so she drove. She had forgotten her wallet (and her ID) in someone else’s car so she had no license on her. We were driving along, headed back to her place and still playing the penis game from the car. I decided to take it a step further, rolled my window down and stuck my head out screaming “PENISSSSSS!!” at the top of my lungs.

Suddenly, blue lights appeared behind us. We assumed they were going somewhere else as we weren’t driving erratically or anything. We were wrong. A cop pulls up behind us and comes to my best friend’s window. She rolls it down and the cop shines the light in the car. “Everything okay in here, ladies?” he asks.

We embarrassingly had to explain to the cop that yes, everything was okay, we were only playing the Penis game.

The cop was pretty good natured and laughed, saying he had to check to make sure everyone was okay when someone is screaming bloody murder at the top of their lungs out the car window. He let us go without any issues and didn’t even ask for my best friend’s license, thankfully. Although it ended up being fine, it’s sufficient to say we royally embarrassed ourselves. 10/10 recommend playing the penis game with your best friend next time you have a few drinks in you. Just don’t stick your head out the window and scream it when you pass a cop. Lesson learned.

TL;DR played the Penis game with my best friend and got pulled over for screaming “PENIS!!” at the top of my lungs with my head out her car window.

Edit: We were not drinking and driving. My friend had barely a drink and a half 3 hours before this happened. The point of mentioning that we had been drinking was to give some context behind why we were being silly deciding to play the game much earlier in the night. I do not condone drinking and driving in any way. We may have been being immature by playing the game but that doesn’t mean we were being reckless and stupid.

EDIT 2: For the last time, we were not drinking and driving. I apologize if my post did not reflect that, but I didn’t think my words were going to be scrutinized like this. Specifying that we weren’t drunk didn’t even cross my mind because, well, we weren’t! Yes, my friend had 1 1/2 drinks that night and I had 2 1/2, but it was long before we even got in the car. I only mentioned we were drinking to give background to how we ended up playing the game in the first place. I am sorry to all who have lost someone from a drunk driver, I cannot imagine your grief and my heart goes out to you. But calling me a “motherfucker”, and a “stupid bitch” amongst other things, is uncalled for. My point in sharing this story was to tell you all that finding moments where you can be silly with a friend, no matter your age, is a wonderful thing. I know we were being immature and annoying, but we were not doing anything illegal, especially not drinking and driving. The world is a dark place. We could all be a little nicer to each other and we could all benefit from a little fun with friends every once in awhile.
