I've heard my fair share of stories about stupid people, especially here in America, but this is a first for me. Apparently Susumu Moriya entered a Japanese police station around 9:30 AM to renew his drivers license while completely intoxicated. After experiencing a bit of trouble with the touch screen interface that's used to print out the request form, Moriya asked for help. Unable to understand the officer who came to assist him, he became belligerent, even going as far as to throw his license to the floor in anger.

When the officer had smelt the alcohol on Moriya's breath, he asked how Moriya had arrived at the station. Moriya then lied, stating that he had walked. However, the moment he was asked to leave, Moriya went straight to his car. I love how the guy was clearly lucid enough to lie in the first place, but then walked to his vehicle without even considering that maybe someone would follow him outside to see if he was telling the truth. 200 meters later, and Moriya was arrested for drunk driving.

He later informed the police that he had started drinking as early as 6 AM and had consumed two beers and several glasses of shochu. While I'm sure the beer probably didn't help matters, I'm willing to bet that it was the shochu that did the trick. After all, the stuff tends to sneak up on you. I just can't believe he thought it was a good idea to visit a police station after that, can you?
