Lyft Driver Refuses To Take Drunk Girl Home, And His Reason Why Is Going Viral

If you heard about a taxi driver refusing to take a drunk girl home, you might think it’s because he was scared that she was going to puke in his car. But while that is obviously a legitimate thing to be worried about, this taxi driver had a much more important reason for refusing to let a highly intoxicated girl into his cab.

The man, Tro’juan Henderson, is a Lyft driver in Dallas, Texas, and as you can see from the video below, his decision to decline the fare had little to do with his concern for his upholstery and everything to do with making a powerful statement about rape culture. The video has been retweeted over 11k times and liked by more than 14k people since Henderson posted it on Twitter, and it’s easy to see why when you watch it.

She's also glad that her Bachelor’s degree in English Philology didn’t go to waste (although collecting dust in the attic could also be considered an achievement of aesthetic value!)

Since she's embarked on her journalistic endeavor, Giedrė has over 600 articles under her belt and hopes for twice as much (fingers crossed - half of them are about cats).

Its so nice to see there are those who take their responsibilities seriously, regarding other defenseless humans. Its a shame there are not more acting this way.

I wish there were more people like this gentleman. He is a hero and a wonderful example to others.
