Aspiring L-plater Annabel McDonald (23) has got evening drinks off to a tragic start after having the nerve to ask high school friend and designated driver Ween Coulter (24) if she could please scab a cigarette.
Not offering much to her group of friends other than hook-ups for average weed, McDonald has escaped having to be designated driver for the sixth year running as she does not have her license but will chip in for petrol on the condition the driver remembers to ask.
As designated driver, Coulter does not expect to have an amazing evening but hardly expected to be responsible for providing cigarettes to a woman who has proudly never voted.
“Is it alright if I grab one?” asked McDonald as she picked up the darts.
“I’ll get you a lemon lime and bitters?”
Witnesses report Coulter stared without expression into McDonald’s eyes for a full minute before eventually handing her the cigarette she had already partially smoked and lighting a new one up for herself.
Coulter then allegedly sat in a corner and attempted to smoke the rest of the deck to herself so that Flood would not be able to scab any more cigarettes.
“Just leave me alone ok,” said the designated driver, her eyes stinging with tears she claimed were from the smoke.
“She’s not having the front on the way back. I’m leaving in half an hour and I don’t care if she comes or not. And we are not going through drive through on the way home!”
Flood later stated it was never her intention to offend her friend while taking advantage of her generous nature.
“I will get my Ps eventually so I can start paying people back for lifts. But at this stage it’s easier if I wait until I’m 25 so I don’t have to do all the hours. I’ll pay them back then.”
“Any of youse smoke?”
