I work at a courthouse and while I haven't seen this specific thing, I am often shocked by the kinds of things people think are appropriate for court. ICP shirt, hitting your kid, and screaming at someone on your cell phone in a marble halfway are some recent incidents that come to mind.

"Common sense" isn't so prevalent in courtrooms. I was waiting for my sentencing and the guy before me was rude with the judge, admitted to some unrelated shit, ignored the judge trying to "ignore" to what just occurred and advised the guy to think about what he has to say before he says it. Thankfully though it prepped me for my turn and allowed me to see what my lawyer warned me about so my turn went exceptionally well I think considering what I was there for.

I saw a lady once who wanted to file a police report against her roommate for stealing her drugs. Obviously she couldnt leave the drugs in the house unprotected, so she kept them in her pockets and brought them with her to the police station.

I'm currently going to court for a mistake I made. One of the last times I was waiting outside the court room for check in, the dumb ass sitting next to me pulls out a wax pen and starts puffing on it and bragging about how he can get stoned anywhere and "noooboddyy will know".

I noped tf out of that conversation as quick as I could. I can't believe they didn't notice it when he went through the metal detectors.

I witnessed a girl shoot up heroin in the backseat of a car in the court parking lot and then proceed to enter the court where she was facing charges of heroin possession.

I once saw a defendant wear a shirt that said "crime pays" at his sentencing hearing.
