And Just Like That, He Croaked
This story is pretty tragic. The night started off with a bit of fun for the OP and his girlfriend when her parents called her and told them to pick them up at a bar. Apparently, mom and dad had too much to drink, and they needed a responsible designated driver to take them home. That’s where the OP comes into play.
When they get to the bar, the mom waves and the OP and girlfriend, but the dad, in his intoxicated state, loses his balance and falls backward, cracking his skull on stairs. He passed away before he even uttered a slurred word at the OP. Drink responsibly or not at all, folks.
