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

I can't believe anyone would really have offered to drive her home.

GreenEyesandHam · 10/04/2011 22:44

I'd have given her a lift. For her sheer cheek/ingenuity/ and my gratitude for her not stealing my car.

atswimtwolengths · 10/04/2011 22:45

I would have given her a lift home and shouted at her the whole way!

RitaMorgan · 10/04/2011 22:45

I wouldn't have offered to drive her home, but I'd have checked she knew where she was going and offered to call her mum.

Flisspaps · 10/04/2011 22:45

Good job she didn't know that you don't lock your front door, you'd have had an even bigger shock to wake up to her sleeping in your bed or having a bath!

follyfoot · 10/04/2011 22:46

I'll send her round yours next time Rita, if you could just PM me your address and make sure the car is unlocked.

What if you had gone on holiday? Nobody came to the house or used the car whilst you were away? She would have died the stupid cow!!! I would have called her Mother, police or drove her hom after giving her some food too. I couldn't have left her but she would have known what i thought!!!

discobeaver · 10/04/2011 22:48

I might have given her a lift, simply for the fact that she tried to stroke the dog! Depends if she was sheepish or shifty as well. 16 is very young and silly. Was a nice day tho, sure she was fine.

discobeaver · 10/04/2011 22:48

Not shifty, shirty!

RitaMorgan · 10/04/2011 22:49

I'd have wanted to let her mother know exactly what she'd been up to, so she couldn't just pretend she'd stayed at a friend's.

hmc · 10/04/2011 22:50

I'm with Rita and many of the others. Guess you're not the good Samaritan type [shrugs]

follyfoot · 10/04/2011 22:50

Smelling like she did, I wouldnt have taken her anywhere in my car. She was rank.

Poor cow maybe she was scared and had nowhere to sleep? Her parents could have thrown her out or something.

I think I would have tried to find out a bit more about the child before telling her to start walking.

Funniest thing is the yoga mat detail...

I'd laugh every time I saluted the sun from now on...

Guess I'm not hmc.

She was pissed worraliberty. She wasnt scared. In the least.

MoonGirl1981 · 10/04/2011 22:53

I wouldn't have driven her home. If she's old enough to go out, get pissed, walk alone at night in the arse end of nowhere and climb into an unlocked car then she's old enough to walk home alone in the daytime!

follyfoot · 10/04/2011 22:56

Precisely Moongirl. It was daytime, its an incredibly safe area, she had been an idiot. I could have called the police and got her into all sorts of bother. She should consider herself lucky.

hmc · 10/04/2011 22:56

Yeah - go and look for some 'eye of newt' whilst you are at it

......I jest!

But seriously, she was young and stupid and did a risky thing sleeping in a strangers car. It's a shame you were so unconcerned about her welfare. Yes I'm moralising - some of us have to! Concern for others - isn't that what makes us human?

follyfoot · 10/04/2011 23:06

Bleddy hell hmc your judgey pants will strangle you if you pull them up any higher.

Its a shame she was so unconcerned about her own welfare that she got so drunk that she couldnt make it home, that she trespassed onto my property, touched my possessions, got into my car, tipped a load of stuff into my boot and used my car as a bed. And never even had the grace to apologise. Presumably she would have smashed a window to break in if I hadnt helpfully left my car unlocked accidentally.

I'm just pleased she didnt eat the easter egg I was hiding in the car, otherwise I may have actually called the police Hmm

hmc · 10/04/2011 23:09

I consider 16-ish still a child - and at the very least, immature and susceptible to poor judgement, and potentially vulnerable. Happy in my judgey pants - I know I am right.

follyfoot · 10/04/2011 23:10

Very pleased for you hmc Grin
