Input: I was out in town with 3 friends, I wasn't drinking (they were) so I brought my car. We all live in a rural area so public transport is pretty much not an option. I live pretty close to them so it wasn't really a problem dropping them home.

Going in was fine, found a place to park and went around to a few different pubs just chatting. They drank quite a good bit and were fairly intoxicated by the time we were going home, not stumbling around just clearly had lost any filter and weren't really making a lot of sense.

On the way home they were a bit "giddy" and started messing around with the radio, winding down the windows and putting the speaker to max volume. I wasn't really happy with this but they were drunk so telling them not to do it just made them do it even more since they found it hilarious.

One friend in particular was doing most of the messing (he was in the passenger seat), the other two were just laughing and rolling down the windows. When we were about halfway home (on country roads at this point) he started upping his antics, now he was turning on the hazard warning lights, reaching over and beeping the horn, turning off the headlights, etc. Pretty much any control he could reach he started fucking with.

Me being completely sober was pretty pissed off at this because while there weren't any other cars around and I was on roads I knew very well I still could crash and there are a lot of deer in my area. I kept telling him to stop but he wasn't listening, the straw that broke the camels back was when he decided to pull the gear-stick out of gear (I drive a manual).

At this point I stopped on the side of the road and told him to get the fuck out and that I wasn't bringing him home anymore (We were still a few miles from his house). We argued for a bit but eventually he did get out and I drove off, he had to call someone else to come and collect him while he was standing on the side of the road.

Both him and the other two friends think I was a dick, and I shouldn't have just left him there, in the cold, in pitch darkness. I told them I was worried about crashing and their point of view was basically "you're overreacting, you weren't going to crash..." and "you should have went back for him a few minutes later, he would have learned his lesson."

AITA for leaving him on the side of the road?
