A Drunk Kid Took A Cab To His Parents House To Sleep On Their Couch........Except His Parents Hadn't Lived There For Two Years

Yahoo- While it’s hard to be on top of your game while you’re intoxicated, there are three rules to a successful night of heavy drinking. One, make sure you have the holy trinity on you: phone, wallet, keys. Two, don’t drive. Three, get home safely. Thomas Airlie probably thought he was in the clear when he ordered a taxi to take him to his parents’ house to sleep off a night out with the guys. He entered the residence, took his shoes off at the door, went to the kitchen to get a juice, and lay down on the couch. All was well. Except his parents did not live in that house — in Glasglow, Scotland — anymore, and they hadn’t for two years. Elaine McDade, a dance teacher, and mother of two, lived there, and while Thomas proved to be very polite, it still is a scary situation to realize there’s a 26-year-old stranger in your home. “Every time I come into my house I lock my door behind me. Every time, it’s a habit! Even during the day, I always do it. The one and only time I don’t!” McDade said on Facebook. She and her children were in bed, watching TV when she went to get a drink. That’s when she spotted Airlie.

That’s just classic drunk person stuff right here. Falling asleep where you’re not supposed to. There’s nothing, and I mean nothing, better than getting drunk and falling asleep at your parents house. You wake up, you’re hungover as balls but you can hear your mom in the kitchen making breakfast and you’re laying on a familiar couch. It doesn’t get much better than that. I guarantee that’s what the kid had in his blacked out mind when he dialed up that cab. I get it. That’s what I do every time I go back to Iowa to see my family.

I really appreciate the people who live in the house now for being as cool as they were. That’s an underrated part of the story. That could’ve gone the other way in a HURRY. Those people would’ve been well within their rights to shoot the kid dead (I think that’s true but it might not be, I don’t really know laws) for being an intruder in their house. Or called the cops and had him arrested for breaking and entering. Instead they just let the kid sleep it off on the couch, snapped a picture of him and then sent him on his way with a funny story. That’s the world I wanna live in. I mean who hasn’t drunkenly fallen asleep in a place where they weren’t supposed to? If we start stringing up people for doing that then we’re all on our way out.
