People always complain about being assigned designated driver duties. They crib about having to chaperone a bunch of drunks, keep them from killing each other or even someone else for that matter. Then sometimes as a bonus for all your good deeds there’s the sanitizing your car/restroom next day routine to take care of
True, some of those moments make you wanna kill your friends or ditch them outside the bar. But can you imagine all the laughs you’ve had escorting a drunken party home? Some of the funniest memories in my life involved me being a DD.
Here’s a the top 2 funny moments in my DD career so far. For reasons of anonymity, real names have been replaced by Drunk # 1, Drunk # 2 etc -
1. Drunk # 1 starts identifying every song being played in the caras a Metallica song. They play Hotel California…he still insists it’s a Metallica song. Meanwhile a random Drunk # 2 corrects Drunk # 1 saying “Dude…that’s not Metallica. that’s Iron Maiden!”
2. Drunk # 1 is trying to recite Barakhadi (Marathi alphabet) and forgets most of it. Drunk # 2 meanwhile is trying to correct him without realizing that he’s messing it up himself.
There are many more moments that were too funny to be described in words. So, to all out there make sure you take our turn being the DD. Not only is it a responsible thing to do but if you are lucky it’ll be the most fun you’ve had at a friends expense.
The precious few ‘I laughed so hard, I peed a little’ moments ensure that I will take on my DD duties eagerly and willingly the next time.
