My H went out last night with a friend, and ended up being stuck in a car for 3 hours, as H fell asleep in the car, and instead of his mate bringing him home, his mate continued to party and left dh stuck in a car park, locked in a car Angry.

firstly my H doesn't drink, its his first drink in over 5 years, so this is completely out of character, and just not him at all.

Im furious because I "think" his mate was drink driving, and dh even tho intoxicated got into a car with a wasted person, and ended up being stranded in a car in a car park in the middle of nowhere. Im furious as he was only going to our local for the last bell.

We finally got him out the car at 5.30 this morning, after other wife eventually got through to her H, who said my H was fine, he wasn't, H was crying, frightened and confused as by this point he was stuck in the car for 4 hours, and he couldn't break any of the windows, or get out etc...

I cant believe him and his mate potentially endangered others lives.

Mates wife has phoned the police, (alot of reasons, but think this incident in the last straw for their relationship) however Im not sure how to deal with my wankard off a husband.

Im furious and cant think straight!

I want to know what he'd been drinking.....that meant even after hours of being stuck in a car he was still drunk.

I wants me some of that there liqour Grin

Has anyone worked out how he got in the car that was locked with no keys but could not get out?

SarahStrattonsBaubles · 03/01/2011 17:14

His mate locked him in then took the keys with him. AFAIK he was sleeping peacefully until the Screaming Harpy rang him and woke him up. Cue much wailing, crying and bouncing off the car walls. Terrified obviously, poor bugger.

crunchbag · 03/01/2011 17:16

It was his mates car who gave him a lift and he sensibly locked the car when leaving it in the car park and took the keys with him to the pub.

FabbyChic · 03/01/2011 17:17

If the hubbie didnt go in the pub why didnt he get a cab home? The old lady could have paid, or would it have to have come out of his pocket money.

crunchbag · 03/01/2011 17:21

I wonder what the cabbies reaction would have been if he had gotten to a car with someone locked inside :o

storminabuttercup · 03/01/2011 17:24

this sounds like something from fawlty towers, basil gets locked in a car and rather than patiently waiting for help kicks the crap out of the inside whilst sobbing like a baby.....

BoneyBackJefferson · 03/01/2011 17:25

Fabbychic

From my understanding of the op, I think that he got into the car under the impression that they were going home and the "Mate" continued to drink.

Although the story has gotten somewhat twisted since then :)

FabbyChic · 03/01/2011 17:26

Its actually hilarious! Thank you boney!

SkyBluePearl · 03/01/2011 19:20

although you think leagally he has to pay for repairs - didn't the friend act illegaly by holding someone somewhere against their will. Also drink driving is a crime.

DitaVonCheese · 03/01/2011 19:47

I think he is actually right and it would be illegal for him to be drunk (and asleep) in the car as it would count as him being drunk in charge of a vehicle. Doubt he'd get prosecuted for it though.

Other than that, this thread is hilarious. I am also wondering where he peed.

crunchbag · 03/01/2011 21:26

How much damage did DH do to the car? And how long for was he actually aware of being stuck in the car (from OP's phone call until mate unlocking the car) surely that wasn't 4 hours.

LOL at the Fawlty Towers reference :o

StuffingGoldBrass · 03/01/2011 22:47

I am wondering if the OP isn't in fact abusive and this is why the H got blind drunk when he managed to escape from her for a while and was then crying in terror when returned to the prison of his home.

crunchbag · 03/01/2011 22:50

Or did he have someone in the car with him and he didn't want the OP to come on a rescue mission...

hootiemcboob · 04/01/2011 01:19

This is the best laugh I've had in ages - thanks everyone, but especially you, OP

queenofboak · 04/01/2011 08:27

So funny Grin

I think he was sobbing because he didn't want to get out the car and go home.

Blatherskite · 04/01/2011 09:17

This thread makes no sense. If he was asleep till she rang him then why so paniced that he cried and kicked the doors in?

He knew someone knew where he was and the situation and presumably knew that he could use same phone she rang him on to ring for help? Confused

bronze · 04/01/2011 09:34

Gosh this thread is horrible. the op sounds over the top, confused or even slightly unbelieveble but the majority of posters put the vipers in the nest. It's been a long time since I was shocked by the harshness of mn

StuffingGoldBrass · 04/01/2011 11:28

Well the OP is either a liar, a nutter or an abuser. Hopefully just a random liar.

charliesmommy · 04/01/2011 11:45

none of this makes much sense.. although it is fabulously amusing to read!!!

why is the mates marriage wrecked?

why was a grown man crying like a baby?

Blatherskite · 04/01/2011 11:48

why is the mates marriage wrecked?

I'm guessing because mate was out drink driving/drunk. The impression I got from the op was that this was a regular occurrence and the mates wife had got sick of it

why was a grown man crying like a baby?

Absolutely no clue.

charliesmommy · 04/01/2011 11:55

in the Op it says she only "thinks" the mate was drink driving...

Quite possible the mate had parked the car in the car park at the last pub, fully intending to leave it there and get a cab home..

I get the feeling that the husband is so shit scared of the Op that he has invented a lot of this saga rather than get a bollocking for getting pissed with his mate..

crunchbag · 04/01/2011 11:55

I still like to know how long it actually took for the DH to be 'freed' after he was woken up.
