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…

…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. [/quote]

This is your daytime thinking brain finally filling in the blanks that your spidey sense instantly recognized and said “Oh hell no” to last night.

1. No right-thinking woman asks to enter a strange house. Especially late at night. Especially if you’re planning to take down your pants.

2. Especially if there are accessible public bathrooms in stores/restaurants a block away. (For customers only? Then she can use the wallet she’s holding to buy a soda.)

3. This was the classic “too many details” set up. She spun the rambling Uber yarn to confuse/distract you, get you to lower your guard, and think of yourself and your neighborhood as a welcoming place. Hey, if she has a friend who’s your neighbor who says this is the place to go, you feel obligated to prove that true.

4. Because if she doesn’t live nearby and was actually just waiting for her Uber, why didn’t she stay at the house/restaurant/party (presumably with working plumbing) and order her Uber from there, like a normal person?  Again, what right-thinking woman thinks, “This dinner was great, and I’m ready to go to my next stop of the night. So the best thing to do is walk out the door and down some random, dark residential side street to wait all alone for my ride in strange surroundings, away from all my friends.”

5. She chose your house BECAUSE of the 15 steps up, which conveniently block your line of sight into your yard. I can guarantee she had accomplices hidden beside your front stoop.

You avoided a potentially very unpleasant situation, and your husband is an idiot. [/quote]
