Police bodycam footage recently released shows a Hooters waitress who was pulled over for a suspected DUI back in November of last year trying to flirt her way out of trouble. Her ill-fated strategy doesn’t go so well, but it’s since turned into internet gold.
The clip begins as the officer initiates a sobriety test, only for the waitress to awkwardly evade cooperation. Her strategy is to flirt with an intensity that would make a rom-com heroine blush. After arriving on-scene claiming she was going to make out with the officer, things then scale even further when she blurts out, โIโll do anything you want, daddy!โ and then raises her shirt to showcase her Hooters uniform. I guess she’s trying to disarm the officer, so to speak.
But our stoic cop doesn’t bite. Undeterred by her antics, he continues the process, refusing to take the bait. Her frustration culminates in the exasperated question: โWhy are you such a nerd?โ The accusation unfortunately only seems to strengthen his resolve to be professional.
Redditors quickly embraced the absurdity of the moment, dubbing the officer โOfficer Nerdโ and joking about how he managed to remain unfazed. One commenter quipped, โGood looks may get you decent tips in the restaurant, but they wonโt help when youโre in trouble with the law.โ
As entertaining as this encounter is, it serves as a cautionary tale: When facing legal consequences, sincerity and cooperation are far better allies than theatrics and misplaced bravado. But that wouldn’t make for a very funny video now, would it?
โShe really thought this was a movie,โ wrote one Redditor, while another joked, โMaybe if she called him โsirโ instead of โdaddy,โ sheโd have better luck.โ
While the whole thing is undeniably hilarious, itโs also a good reminder of just how serious driving under the influence can be. Hopefully, she learns her lessonโand maybe saves the โdaddyโ talk for a less dire situation.
