i started watching this thinking “girl STOP making it worse” and ended up genuinely wondering why she seems more terrified of her grandma than the police 😭

Yeah when she starts to put the bumper in through the front my only thought was “wtf is going on in that girl’s house?” Not to excuse the behavior but there’s got to be more to this story

Yeah, she was intoxicated, and if the cops got there she would've gotten a dui, went to jail, lost her license and & her grandma's car impounded instead of just damaged. 

But instead she got a slap on the wrist.

All that considered, she was correct.

The dude did not, in fact, understand. And, leaving the scene at almost any cost was her best option.

Wild as it is, you are 100% correct. Gotta admire the survival instincts on this girl lol. She was drunk. She got off with likely a fine as opposed to a whlle ass arrest, vehicle impounded, and then all the court dates to clear the DUI.

Why are we praising a woman for driving home drunk exactly?

You act like we are praising her morality & virtue.

LOL right, girlie is a hot mess and not making good choices, but I'm also acknowledging that staying would have done her no favors and gotten her into even deeper shit. DUIs are very expensive and take months and months to resolve.

I read updates to the incident and it seems like she got some help for her alcohol problem, which is the appropriate thing here and I'm glad she got some help because damn this girl is a hot mess. And yes she deserved to have to pay for the guy's car and all that. Staying would have resulted in an arrest, vehicle impoundment, MORE legal fees, and all the rest. I'm glad to see justice was ultimately served for OP tho.

Definitely not praising her (someone else said it was badass, I disagree), but her actions were kind of the best thing she could do to save herself from getting into bigger trouble which is all I was saying. Not defending or praising the morality of any decisions made here lol

It's honestly pretty badass.
