Intrepid University Of Michigan Student Offers "Walk Of Shame" Shuttle

Here's a story that could be mistaken for a headline from The Onion, but it's all too real. A University of Michigan student has started a "walk of shame shuttle" to give a ride to students to their homes or dorms after a night of beer pong, drunken sex, and regret.

Kellyann Wargo insists this is the real deal. A flyer she produced to promote the shuttle reads, "Yes this is a real thing, I need money. Girl's gotta support soberphobia." She also wrote on her Facebook page that she's having business cards made "to give bros so they can give them to their slampieces." Wargo told BroBible—yes, there's a website called BroBible—she decided to start the business since she was already picking up her roommate constantly and only asked for McDonald's as payment. (We wonder how the roommate feels being publicly embarrassed by this.) "She suggested I make a business out of it because she, like many girls, doesn't want to call a taxi that takes forever and is usually some sort of father figure, middle aged man, driver," Wargo said. She added her mother was plenty pissed that her credit card statement showed she was spending a lot of time at bars and suggested she get a job.

"Being a Michigan student and all I was like, why apply for a job when I can start my own business?" Wargo said.

Wargo charges five dollars for the shuttle, which gets passengers a bottle of water, a coupon for $5 off the Plan B morning after pill and a complimentary high-five. If this is the "college experience" we missed by enlisting in the Navy, we made the right choice.
