This weekend was my friend Michelle's 30th birthday. I drove to Columbia Saturday morning to hang out with her for the weekend and be her designated driver as she planed to drink (a lot). I typically have no problem being the designated driver, I rather people be responsible and call me than be stupid and stumble around or worse...drive. Plus, being the designated driver gets you some good blackmail stories!!! My friends are pretty cool too and always show their appreciation for me driving them by treating me to dinner or buying me soda's while they drink. I don't expect them to do this, but it's nice that they do it.
ANYWAY, we went to Mc Nally's in Columbia and it was PACKED, so we had to opt for a table outside instead of inside and it was chilly. Of course I was bored with nothing to really do but babysit a group of drunken adults. I played the bathroom monitor and pretty much made sure no one hurt themselves. When we went to leave Michelle couldn't make it up the hill to the car, she was 'sick'. So I had to run and get the car and pick up her and 3 other friends of ours. Two of our friends decided they wanted to walk over to the police station and pee on it. Not a good idea, especially considering that their was a group of police standing outside. So I had to wrangle everyone into the car and get them buckled in. Then the two that wanted to relieve themselves rolled down the windows so they could yell at the police. I am grateful to have automatic windows, I rolled up the windows and put it on lock so I was the only one who could control the windows.
I managed to get everyone home and in good condition (even if they weren't sober.) But let me just say....it wore me out and I probably won't ever be a designated driver again (too much responsibility and stupidity.)
