There are many places to snort cocaine. In toilet cubicles; off your phone screen in a tent; off a CD case at a house party that gradually but inescapably disintegrates into four people shouting at each other about the nationalization of railways. So why, when you have all those places, would you choose to rack up outside a police station?To find out, you'd have to ask the man who was arrested over the weekend after allegedly snorting coke outside Lewisham Police Station. Cops' attitude towards drugs might be changing in certain circles and among certain officers, but it's not like they can ignore someone brazenly doing class A drugs—a very illegal thing to do—directly outside their place of work.Lewisham Police Station shamed the man on their Twitter: "A little tip…if you want to snort cocaine after a night out, try not to do it right outside the largest police station in the country." They then posted a photo of the man in handcuffs: "This male was detained by night duty C team officers and is now seeing the inside of the station!"This, unsurprisingly, is not the first time someone's decided to get fucked up in a hugely stupid place. Last December, a pensioner tried to snort cocaine during a traffic stop, literally right in front of a police officer, and ended up getting arrested.Or there were the two young men transporting 20 lbs of weed who got high on the drive, freaked out, thought they were being tailed by police—when they 100 percent were not—and surrendered over the phone, telling a confused operator: "Hi, we're the two dumbasses that got caught trying to bring some stuff through your border and all your cops are just driving around us like a bunch of jack wagons, and I'd just like you guys to end it. If you could help me out with that, we would just like to get on with that."Follow Salma Haidrani on Twitter.Read: Hero Manager Locked Burglars in His Store and Then Stood Outside and Laughed A man who was arrested after being caught allegedly snorting cocaine outside Lewisham Police Station.
