To be somewhat pissed off to find someone in the back of my car?

Opened my hatchback boot to let dog jump in yesterday morning to find a body in the back of my car. At first I thought it was of the dead variety, but turned out to be a semi conscious (ie pissed) teenage girl who had spent the night in my car.

Confused

OMG. How very odd. Just think, if you didn't have a dog, she'd have come for a ride with you in the car.

follyfoot · 10/04/2011 22:34

16 ish. Suppose she was at least safe. A Mum somewhere will be grateful of that I guess....

How old was she? I'd have offered to call her mum.

follyfoot · 10/04/2011 22:34

Yes I did oldlady, arent I bad Grin

Should I have offered to drive her home?

Awww.

better that than half dead in a ditch.

Scary, yes, but, well, I'd be more worried and would insist she called her mother!

notprEGGersjustchocolate · 10/04/2011 22:35

That's properly funny!
Some people just have no boundaries!

catchmeifyoucan · 10/04/2011 22:35

I'd rather find a live, if somewhat confused, body in my car than a dead girl in the woods any day of the week! I can see it must have been a shock for you though - I wonder if she has any idea how lucky she was to find your unlocked car?

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 10/04/2011 22:35

Well, follyfoot, I'd at least have done as a previous poster suggested, and phoned her parents. Was she suitably clad for the walk?

colditz · 10/04/2011 22:36

She was 16ish?

I'd have given her a lift!

16 isn't very old!

Aren't DH helpful at times ? _ dont know the number - reminds me of when my eldest son had his first asthma attack and was struggling to breath - DH ' I think we need to call the doctors ' ' NO DH we need a f**king ambulance !'

Loonytoonie · 10/04/2011 22:36

I think, I'd have been more concerned than anything OP - especially in light of you being in the middle of nowhere? This comes from bitter experience of having been dumped in the middle of nowhere by an irate boyfriend with whom I was finishing, cold wet and windy, no money, no mobile, and I slept in someone's moored up fishing boat.....

StickThemWithThePointyEnd · 10/04/2011 22:38

sorry, but I laughed at reading this.

If it had happened to me, I would have been somewhere between very pissed off and terrified, though, I think.

RitaMorgan · 10/04/2011 22:38

I think you should have made sure she had a way to get home OP!

Think how you would want your daughter treated in similar circumstances.

follyfoot · 10/04/2011 22:38

It was a sunny Saturday morning, I was taking the dog to an appointment, she had clearly spent the night in my car so was sober enough to get out of the car and start walking. Afraid the free bed for the night was where my hospitality stopped.

very odd Shock
are you near a pub? she must have been drinking somewhere

follyfoot · 10/04/2011 22:39

She could walk Rita. There arent baddies on every corner you know. It was daytime.

My daughter wouldnt do it in the first place.

QueeferSutherland · 10/04/2011 22:39

I'm torn between "poor girl" and "silly bint".

At least she was safe.

How far away is the nearest town/village? Would she have had an epic Walk Of Shame? Was she suitably shod?

follyfoot · 10/04/2011 22:40

Nearest pub is probably 10 - 15 minutes walk. I did see a big group of kids sitting in the fields on Friday evening, maybe she was a leftover from that Grin

Grin

Really funny thread.

chickchickchicken · 10/04/2011 22:41

it was day time, dont see the problem with her walking

emsyj · 10/04/2011 22:42

Once I had finished shitting myself and been reassured that she was still alive, I would have offered her a lift home. But I am a mug and spend my life doing crummy favours for anyone who asks

GnomeDePlume · 10/04/2011 22:42

Where on earth did she think she was?

RitaMorgan · 10/04/2011 22:42

You said she was pissed and in the middle of nowhere - I'd have still checked she had a way to get home.

follyfoot · 10/04/2011 22:42

10 minutes up the lane to the main road - she was perfectly suitably dressed. We live in the safest area of England, we dont even lock our front door a lot of the time.

Was more concerned that she might have thrown up or peed in my car than anything else Hmm
