回答: I think what you're seeing here is somewhat akin to expressions like ぼんやりした or びっくりした. 無茶振りをした時 is just expressing the idea that the individual **experiences** the *time* as *unreasonable*. There is no explicit or implicit notion of *someone* who is being *unreasonable* or creating trouble for this individual. Rather, it's just expressing a subjective perspective on what this individual has experienced.
