You may claim you party hard, but have you ever

gotten so drunk that you moved your car from the driveway at 3am to let a friend get their car out and FORGET TO PULL BACK IN AND LEFT IT RUNNING?

At 8am my neighbor from down the street asked if I knew anything about an SUV in the road that had been idling for a couple hours with no driver in site. I called the guy who's SUV it was and a moment later he stumbles out of his garage, gets in the SUV and pulls it back into the garage and shuts it off. He said he was wrecked last night (duh) and pulled out at 3:30 to let someone else out and he guesses he forgot to put it back or shut it off.

not that exact thing but similar

last night was the most sober NYE I have had since I was a child. one shot of tequila before bed around 2 am. Both of my sons are off the alcohol at the moment and I wanted to support their efforts, but as I was going to bed I had a WTF moment and just couldn't start this year without a toast so I poured a shot to hope for the best.

Happy New Year.

The front of his truck was a few inches from the door. We were not sure how he got in the house.

One of my co-workers lived in a mobile home in Tennessee. In July, mobile homes get super hot no matter how much AC you use, and she wasn't using any. So, about 3 am comes and I wanted to sleep - but couldn't in that scorching heat...so I went outside with a poncho liner I'd found wadded up on the floor and crashed out underneath the trailer. VERY much more comfortable!
