To ask what you would do in this situation

[furrybadger]

I need some opinions, afternoon drinks today with team mates from work, one person takes it too far, obviously been taking something aswell as drinking quite a lot, due to said persons behaviour we got asked to leave particular place by staff as said person became abusive and rude to the staff and causing a huge scene.

Booked a taxi home with 3 other people, said person who supposed to be coming in the taxi and staying at colleagues house as wouldn’t go home to family due to family issues.

Said person decides to kick up an even bigger fuss, call everyone the worst names under the sun and disappear off by herself, we tried to get her to stay with us and get the taxi home but she refused and kept disappearing.

Would you follow her and keep on trying to get her home ? Or would you leave her to sort her own way home and get out of the mess she made by herself ?

Well she's an adult and can be out on her own. It depends how drunk I suppose, was she still capable of looking after herself

Christ alive it's not even 9 o'clock yet. And it's a Tuesday!

I'd leave them, but I'm heartless.

I think I would have followed her to make sure she was ok and got home if she was drunk but I also wouldn’t judge people for going home as she’s an adult and it wasn’t late if you’re posting at this time.

She probably wont face work tomorrow. I would try to help.

Had a colleague like this. The people that helped her were never ever thanked. In the end people tried to call her partner and put her in a taxi, there isn't much else you can do when someone refuses all assistance

We kept following her and trying get her to come with us, kept telling us to F off and she can do what she wants, she does have a few issues that she’s struggling to deal with but she won’t address the problem and looks like she’s using alcohol and other substances to help, I feel quilty for leaving her but I really don’t know what else we could have done

Depends where you are and how safe you perceive it to be. We had a close friend go off after being thrown out of a hotel in the wee hours under similar circumstances, we contacted the police who said they couldn't do anything but did keep an eye on him via CCTV.

I think that I would leave her, she's been offered a lift, she is an adult, adults are entitled to make bad decisions for themselves.

Bloody Hell. There's always one loon who takes it too far. I'd love to be all bright and breezy and do the whole she's-an-adult routine but realistically I'm the mother hen who manages to just stop short of putting sick bowls and bottles of water at the bedside when there's a wayward one on a night out!

I think if she’s in that kind of state someone has to take responsibility for her. Even if it’s calling her family or the police. Someone has to keep her safe, even if she’s been awful.

That is attention seeking at its worst, isn't it?

I would have stayed with her but hated her, if that's any help!

YEh, if this has happened earlier today and it's still day light, then I'd just leave it.

I'd leave her. There's no helping some people.
