Let me start this with a small disclaimer: driving while intoxicated is dangerous to yourself and others.  I haven't done it since the incident and I probably deserved what I got. 

Drinking at the bar with friends leads to hungry on the way home.  I was definitely too intoxicated to drive, but I didn't have a ride and you can get a DUI even for sleeping in your car.  There are no taxis in this town, so my rationale was that I'd just get home the easiest and fastest way I knew.  Drive.   

I always thought I'd get pulled over for some stupid shit like a license plate light out or something similar.   

So, on this cold December night I wanted to get a cheeseburger on the way home.  I stopped into McD's and ordered a burger off the dollar menu and a medium Coke.  They gave me the Coca Cola and I sat there for about 5 minutes.  They never took my money, never said anything (the window was closed and no one was near it). 

Soon enough the cruiser rolls up behind me with lights on so I pulled out of the drive through and parked.  He did the whole field sobriety thing, which I never should have participated in, then off to jail after refusing to blow him. 

I asked him why he came to McDonald's and he said that one of the employees was concerned for my health.  I'm 24 years old at the time and in decent physical shape, so that's a load of sperm whale jizz.  I do some research and find that there has been several others to get DUI citations out of this particular McDonald's. 

In the end I got a big fine, holiday inn weekend (which was one of the worst weekends ever), and a 6-month ALS. 

Not saying what I did was right, but I am saying that what McDonald's did is borderline shitty.

Really?  I don't see how in any way, shape, or form what McDicks did was shitty.  In fact, they did exactly the right thing IMO - glad to have another drunk driving scumbag off the roads.

I can see why you have a very bad opinion on people who drive intoxicated, being Canadian, where its a felony. 

That's why I said "borderline shitty."  I just find it hard to believe that they can judge someone's state by them saying 3 or 4 words over an intercom and accepting a Coca Cola.  Their guess happened to be correct that I was drinking, but if I wasn't, that would be a lot of hassle to get a burger. 

The whole scumbag thing: you can fuck off with that shit.  I didn't post this to advocate driving intoxicated.  It was a first-time offense and a last-time offense all in one stop.  I don't do it anymore, I learned my lesson, and completed the program (a year and a half ago).  If you'd read the first sentence you might have seen the words "probably deserved what I got."  You're one of those fucks that posts a shitty comment on everything just to get a rise out of people.  Good job, it worked.  Now please, fuck off.

I don't post anything to get a rise out of people.  It was a first-time offense, yes, but was it the first time you drove intoxicated?  You don't have to answer if you don't want, I already know the answer.

One more thing: I spent 72 hours hearing and seeing (graphic images, the whole bit) about why I shouldn't drive drunk, and paid my dues.  I will never do it again.  Enough with the lectures, please. 

I'd like to hear about similar experiences, constructive criticism, etc., and not how you're the community watchdog, and how I'm a piece of shit.

TL;DR


Why didn't you sleep in the car?

Its only illegal if you have the keys in the ignition. Keys in the ignition shows "intent to operate a motor vehicle."

If the keys are on the dash or in your pocket, and you are sleeping in the passenger side or back seat you are doing nothing wrong. If a cop gives you a hard time it will just be thrown out when you go to court.
