to start off the story, when i was a freshmen i fucked up my right ankle pretty badly, and now it slightly tilts outward when i walk. its not a big deal, but occasionaly it causes me to stumble and stuff
so im walking into school last year and kind of stumble into a wall cause of my fucked ankle. i guess a teacher saw this and thought i was drunk cause i got yanked out of third period by the assistant principal. after they patted me down, searched me, searching my locker, and finding nothing, he took me to the nurses office to so she could check me out.
after asking me about the cigarette burn on my arm, and me saying i burnt my arm on the oven, she did all the standard sobriety tests on me (walk in a straight line, stand on one foot, etc) and made me take a breathalizer test. then she held both her hands out in front of her and told me to squeeze her wrists. i felt weird, but i just wanted to get out of there, so i put one hand around each of her wrists and started squeezing, although apparently not hard enough, because she quickly told me to do it harder. finally, after one of the most awkward minutes ive ever experienced, she had deemed my squeezing skills adequate and allowed me to release her hands.
now, my question is, what the fuck was up with that? ive never seen or heard of this test being done to test sobriety before, and it was kinda...bizarre. id even say that my squeezing ability are better drunk than sober. ive discussed it with a few of my friends and no one really seems to have an answer, but you people seem to be quite knowledgeable with this sort of stuff
