Today, I volunteered to be my brother's designated driver. I told him throughout the night that I wasn't drinking, but he ended up leaving me at the bar and going to his friend's house in a cab for more drinks, taking my keys along with him. FML

Today, I was the designated driver. On the way home with my drunk friends, they decide to give me a beer shower. I swerved, and was pulled over by a cop moments after. I was the only one arrested. FML

Today, as I was taking the driver's test to get my license, I backed into a car. It belonged to the instructor sitting in my passenger seat. FML

Today, I passed my driver's test. My instructor took the learner signs off his car and let me drive back to my place. I guess he didn't bet on me crashing the car just a few blocks from the test center. FML

Party hard

By Coldflame - 06/03/2010 15:22 - United States

Today, I was designated driver for my friends. This entailed standing around in the cold for 3 hours, not drinking, dealing with drunk people, and oh yeah, I almost forgot, cleaning up vomit from my hair, my clothes, and my new car. FML

Today, I hit someone’s car and got arrested for a DUI. I had to tell my parents so they could remove me from the insurance. My mom's response in the background after I told my dad was "I knew it." FML

Today, I'm the designated driver for a Christmas party I wasn't even invited to. Not only do I get to watch people have a good time, but I'm also supposed to not get involved in the party. FML

Carting around drunks is a marketable skill. You have to be able to converse with their drunken rambling without pissing them off and you have to scan them for imminent puking to know when to pull over. Then, you will have the mad skillz to enter the lucrative world of high-school prom limo driving.

The laws for anybody under 21, or with a permit is that there must be a licensed individual over the age of 21 in the passenger seat, who is eligible to drive, and if the driver is under 21 no matter the circumstance alcohol can NOT be consumed the the car as it would cause an unsafe environment. Do something about this OP, as you will be punished with them for driving them.

Think of it more as how you get to protect your family from unwise decisions they may make while intoxicated. It's better than any one of them driving home drunk...
