[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you probably followed your gut instinct in this and it was probably the right call.
But I also think it’s nagging at you because maybe you wished you had asked if she was okay or was in some sort of trouble and needed help.

It’s definitely a strange situation, OP.[/quote]

I’m not worried about if she was okay or not, actually- that’s the weird part. She did reek of alcohol but didn’t seem drunk and she had a phone and a wallet and was dressed in a regular casual NYE outfit m. Her story was so weird, though. She was telling my DH that she was en route from X neighborhood but getting an Uber in our neighborhood Y because a friend told her to wait on our street to get one (we are not a good place to get a ride) to go to z neighborhood.

Anyway, I told my DH that from now on he has to follow my rules for when I’m the only adult home, which is that I only open the door to people I recognize, I don’t come to the door during the day for strangers, and at night I speak to strangers through the door with my phone in my hand. If it were a legit emergency and she was in danger of something worse than wetting herself, she could have told us through the door, dialed 911, or gone to any of the 7 other houses on the block that are also lit up but are level with the sidewalk or any of the open restaurants 1 block away. We’re 15 steps up from the street which makes it extra weird.

I’m so frustrated with my DH’s poor judgement. He was just standing with the door wide open at the door and had already let a complete stand inside the house on the other side of him next to two sets of car keys, two wallets, etc. [/quote]

With this context I probably would have let her use the bathroom and then would have sat with her until her Uber or a taxi came. She was drunk and needed help.[/quote]
