Something I find really stupid here is that many people will drive to a club, pay the valet to park their car, get pissed up, come out & get their car from valet & then drive home drunk. They should do what I do & get a f**king cab!

It's perfectly acceptable to ask if they have FREE parking close by (if you're going somewhere like Montrose etc.
