I've had nitrogen narcosis while scuba diving. It manifested itself as underwater kleptomania, with me trying to take various worthless tat off the sunken trawler we were diving on. I remember unscrewing light bulbs and trying to remove some manky old curtains, to take as 'prizes'. It seemed quite logical at the time. Rather concerning for my dive buddy though!
