Yep, with you. That woman needs to learn to control those emotions, because that shit was crazy to watch. Just want to restate that, in case our other points get mistaken for condoning that annoying ass screeching tantrum.
ETA: Girlundone, I don’t care if she got drunk and slammed a bus full of blind orphans into a church of deaf nuns. After she serves her time for those horrid murders, she is free to get out of any damn car she wants at any time she wants, and anyone who tries to stop her is an asshole.
No, ethically he’d be a fool to let someone in that mental state out on a busy street.
She’s a deal maker, and she’ll kick and scream and cry until she gets him to agree to just one tiny little deal, then it’s immediately on to the next deal.
This woman is drunk! That is part of the reason she is jonesing for a smoke. That is why she is so hysterical and probably why he won’t let her out of the car.
Why can’t she drive herself to the lake and take the boat out? Can’t pass the breath test to engage the interlock device on her car. Drunk.
Why can’t she take her car to get the oil changed? Because of the ignition interlock, because of her drinking issues. Can’t stay sober for long enough in the daytime to blow clean and start your car to go get the oil changed? Drunk.
You don’t get an interlock installed on your vehicle for the first offense, the only people I am aware of that have had them are multiple offenders.
Yeah, I will agree with that. Tires needing to be rotated is a false emergency. It needs to be done sometime, whenever you get around to it. Next week or month should be fine.
I think he just wasn’t going to take this woman anywhere.
Oh and it totally showed. You seem so rational and amused with your totally well thought out and not at all made up theories that sound nothing at all like you’re pulling explanations out of thin air or dark orifices. Nailed it.

Of course he’s an asshole, but the fact of the matter is that the only way she can guarantee herself complete drama free control over getting in and out of the car at her discretion is to drive it herself. So she should stop being a drunk and pretending like her poor choices are other people’s fault.
Nope. The only thing to do is to shove her out of the car at 80 miles per hour. None of this pulling over at the store and allowing her out, stuff. That’s for pussies.
Aww, look at how cute he is trying to be coy and not saying it outright. I’ll go ahead and assume you’re talking about the recent kerfuffle about mods making sure to categorize misogynistic comments as jerkish?
If you feel that I’m being insincere and the only words you can think of to use toward me are misogynistic in nature thereby necessitating a trip outside for you then bless your heart and I hope your big trip outside into the real world brought you lots of deep breaths and had a calming effect on you. It also explains a lot about your previous comments. Hope you’re feeling better!
Yeah, I found myself indifferent to which side was victim, or the bigger douche.
That said, it has been an unseasonably cool and wet spring where I live, one thing and another, and here we are, end of July almost, and I’ve only gotten to the beach once-and it rained on us. I can never get hubby to go, and in summers past my best friend or my niece would take me. They don’t have cars and I don’t have a licence and we would take hubby’s car, go almost once a week! Alas, not this year, I’m afraid, it was not meant to be. So a tiny part of me can feel her pain. And wants to say, ‘Somebody just take her to the lake!’ Don’t feel too sad for me, in 10 days I go off to the woods to a friends cabin at the lake!
This isn’t a tantrum, this is a breakdown. I’ve seen otherwise fairly calm and normal people have some pretty spectacular breakdowns in private. These usually happen due to a combination of:
A massive life change (divorce, job loss, death, illness)
A panic-inducing situation that precludes normal coping behaviors (being physically confined, facing unexpected responses from a loved one, etc.)
Of course, people in the middle of a breakdown tend not to be particularly articulate. It’s not uncommon for a seemingly minor issue to become the straw that broke the camel’s back and finally triggered whatever had been building up.
This woman may be a harpy who relentlessly abuses her partner, but this video doesn’t give us enough information to know that. But I do know that the partner is the kind of guy who takes people at their worst moments, films them, and puts them up on the internet.
My guess is that this breakdown has been building for a long time, he knew it was coming, and he planned to film it hoping that it’d get him a favorable position in the divorce (which could be happening for any number of reasons. For all we know, he could be planning to run off with his secretary and has been rubbing it in her face for months). He’s not distressed, upset, or scared that this is happening. He’s smug. He wanted her to break and she did.
Anyway, she may still be crazy. I don’t know. But I’m not going to write their life story based on a one-minute video.
