There’s no better use of the internet than Jimmy Fallon and his hashtag game – people love it, Jimmy loves it, and the non-Twittering viewers at home enjoy their glimpses into the hellscape of the social media site.
Recently, he asked people for their stories about getting busted, and these 13 people had some pretty great ones to share.
13. She really needed one and…
I bet that’s the last time she left them within reach.
When I was a toddler, I assumed my mom’s cigs were matches, bc that is what she used to light her cigs up. I sat at my closet door, striking one cig after anthr on said door. Not a spark. Mom walked in to a pack of cigs lost. You’d thought I had broken her good china. #IGotBusted

12. I mean it sounds like a word.
Doesn’t it?
I used to use the word “clapter” in place of “applause” because I thought it was a legitimate word… then I used it in a speech to a large group for work and #IGotBusted.

11. The things they don’t tell you before you have kids.
So, so charming.
I was at the doctor and passed gas just before the doctor entered to look at an inflamed scar on my buttcrack. My then 4 year old daughter blurted out, “Hey doctor, if it stinks down there, it’s because my mom just farted!” #IGotBusted

10. They don’t sound like very good friends.
Once is enough!
In school, we where watching a horror movie. I was so attentive that I didn’t notice when a friend approached & scared me. I was so scared that I screamed very loud and everyone saw me. The worst thing is that they did this to me 3 more times & I would scream again. 🙁#IGotBusted

9. Because of all that snow?
Man I wish they would have burst into song.
My mom buys sale candy after Christmas.We were away once, so she bought it there. It was in my carry-on. Security pulled me aside after they scanned it & asked me where I was from. I said Vermont. They asked “do they not sell candy in Vermont?” #IGotBusted

8. Sounds more like he got busted to me.
But I guess no one wins in these situations.
Knocking isn’t a thing in my family. One day I went to my bro’s room to say something and I…walked in on him…doing something 😭…anyways, my eyes were saved from trauma coz I wasn’t wearing my glasses so everything was a blur 😭 #IGotBusted

7. I hope they bought her a new clutch.
I would have been soooo mad.
As a teen, my friend’s parents left town & hired a house sitter since they didn’t trust him. That night we took her car to go to a party in the next town over. She had a stick but neither of us knew how to drive a one. We sputtered back to my house & my dad caught us. @IGotBusted

6. The greatest moment of that neighbor’s life.
Adults live for that shirt!
When I was younger I was playing with my friends and ringing the doorbells from our neighbors, when it was my turn the neighbor opened the door in the exact time that I was pressing the button #IGotBusted

5. This is the kind of mom I aspire to be.
She knows all.
At 16 I wrecked my car in a field bc I was lighting a cig. Responders thought it was bc I tried to avoid hitting a squirrel & I went with it. When my mom got home she was like “don’t give me that BS! I saw that dead squirrel earlier in the morning” #IGotBusted

4. When you thought it was going to be silent.
But it was just deadly.
When I was in the 4th grade and it was dead silent during a social studies test, I went to squeeze & let out the loudest fart EVER! 🤦🏾♀️ #IGotBusted. And that was the beginning of my career in comedy. 😂

3. I guess he got the last laugh.
For what it’s worth.
6 of us were catapulting wet clay on the chalkboard. All but me were facing the door. They all stopped as the teacher appeared. I got blamed for 37 clay splatters and kicked out of art class for the last 5 months of 8th grade.
I’m now a professional artist.#Igotbusted— Gord MacDonald (@gordmac25) September 30, 2020
2. I bet this happens fairly often.
That’s why they encourage you to pay up front after a certain time.
Drank a pitcher of margaritas and got so drunk passed out on bathroom floor. I apparently ordered pizza #Igotbusted when I had to call pizza place to ask them if I ordered and how much I wrote the check for😳

1. Kids think adults are so stupid.
They’re adorable. Sort of.
In first grade, the school bus driver asked me and my seat mate if we were the ones that drew all over the seat. Straight-faced told her no, and then she pointed to where I signed my name. #IGotBusted
