Funny stories from trading...

So for the second time in two days, a pirate was about to interdict me right as I dropped out at the station. I had a cargo hold full of gold this time, and I really didn't want to just give it to this npc tool, so I just boosted to the station. The AI in this game isn't exactly bright, because the pirate came after me anyway, both times. Both times, station security blew the dude's ship into oblivion before they could even pop my crappy D-rated shields.

So, I thought this was hilarious, and I figured I'd ask this: what hilarious stories do the rest of you have? Has an AI pilot ever killed themselves by attacking you in the no-fire zone? Have you ever rammed someone into the wall in a station? Have you ever been chased around a CZ by someone, to the point where Yakety Sax should've been playing in the background? Share your funny stories below.
 
A wanted conda and Python flying round a asteroid chasing each other for five minutes, waited until the fuzz arrived then fired one shot and sat back and watched the carnage and ninja killed my way to free profit
 
On a few occasions, a pirate (or cop) has started an interdiction a split-second before my FSD countdown begins. I highwake out, and I always picture their interdictor module exploding*.

edit: *I'm pretty sure that's not "how it works", but it still amuses me :p

I landed at a station once and saw an NPC Asp Explorer dragging itself along its side across the station "floor" as I was sitting in the station services screen. He entered my field of view from the right and exited through the left before I heard an explosion. I just shook my head and carried on.

Onionhead and flying don't mix, kids.
 
Saw a wanted ship in the station, looked like a drunk piloter ramming into the sides of the station before it got taken out.

I think the rock I hit still has my ships belly flop imprint (and explosion bits)in it to this day
