He Wouldn’t Drive A Drunk Girl Home From The Bar Because Her House Was Out Of His Way
This 32-year-old man went out a few days ago to celebrate his friend Matt’s thirtieth birthday.
Matt invited him and a few of their other friends to a bar and restaurant one evening, and the goal was to eat, drink, and relax as a group.
However, Matt’s girlfriend was also in attendance, and she decided to invite some of her own friends – one of whom was a girl named Jane.
Throughout the evening, Jane apparently kept trying to talk to him, too.
“It was kinda awkward for me, as I’m an introvert, and the conversations with her felt like they were going nowhere, he recalled.
So, at around 12:00 a.m., he eventually decided to head home. But he still wasn’t able to escape Jane.
Rather, she walked up to him, claimed that she also wanted to leave, and asked if he could give her a ride back to her house. At that point, he asked where she lived and found out she was completely out of his way.
This pushed him to tell Jane that she should just ask someone else to drive her home. Then, she asked if he was sure he couldn’t help her out, and he stood his ground.
“Jane was visibly drunk, but I figured she had like a group of friends, so someone would give her a ride. Also, I was tired as [heck] and just wanted to go back and sleep,” he explained.

Well, the following morning, he woke up to a slew of angry texts from Matt’s girlfriend, Lisa. She was livid that he left Jane “alone” at Matt’s birthday party.
“Apparently, they all assumed that since I was ‘hanging’ out with Jane, I would have had the ‘decency’ to drop her back home,” he revealed.
He tried telling Lisa that he and Jane had only spoken for a total of 15 minutes throughout the whole party – which lasted three or four hours. Given that fact, he didn’t understand why he was expected to chauffeur her around.
Nonetheless, all of Lisa’s friends have since taken Jane’s side and think he’s in the wrong. Plus, his friend Matt has opted not to get involved.
Now, he’s been left wondering if leaving a drunk girl at the bar on his friend’s birthday was really such a jerky move or not.
Do you think it was his responsibility to drive Jane home? Did he really leave her “alone” at the bar if her friend group was also there? What would you have done in his shoes?
