I'm pretty sure the universe itself trolled me for April Fool's Day.
I was driving back to the drop yard near my house so I could go home after a long, stressful day when the red light on my truck's computer began blinking. This red light only blinks when the computer detects a serious or potentially serious issue, and automatically sends a report to the company. Thing is, I hadn't been doing anything that could possibly be considered a serious issue. So I turned on the computer screen to see what the issue was, and there it was.
For some reason, my remaining allowed drive time for the day had dropped from about 5 hours to negative 2100-plus-change hours. This obviously triggered an hours-of-service violation because, legally, you cannot drive when out of hours. Not too long afterwards, my hours returned to normal.
I can only assume that I passed through a time warp at some point that jumped me roughly 89 days into the future, before passing through another warp that brought me back to the present day (and I swear it dropped me back a good fifteen miles as well, since the drive seemed to take much much longer than normal).
