"What kind of wrong dope did you get?"

My comment:

"Welche Laus ist Dir über die Leber gelaufen" wird meistens als (erkundigende, gutgemeinte) Frage verwendet.
Obige Übersetzung versucht den deutschen Sprachryhthmus nachzuahmen.
Slang (klingt besser): "Got the wrong dope?"

every one of the suggestions AND MANY MORE

My comment:

you can safely use any of these suggestions with the only limitation being the "context" and "style" (formal, informal) of the text.

Rather than copying even more possibilities, I gave you a few tips on how to find such translations.

In Google for (spell everything as I do, including the quotes):

"Laus über die Leber gelaufen" English

This will give you a LOT of more possibilities and links, including dictionaries and other references. I gave you the result of this search below - just start clicking the links that come up.

Good Luck with this little trick.

My comment:

Es waere besser, den ganzen Satz zu haben, aber Sie koennen das ja entsprechend anpassen. Z.B. "He's acting as if someone had eaten his lunch".
