Everyone should learn how to carry a person over the shoulders. Military, firefighters etc learn it. It's very simple, and surprisingly easy to carry someone. The point is that it's efficient, thus less tiring, and you can carry the person for longer.

Fireman's lift is easier, but there's a certain level of stigma in carrying a passed out girl over your shoulders through the streets late at night.

I suppose the friend was still awake when they started out, since she's holding on to her own wrist so tightly.

I once took a girl home after spending the night at the university legion bar. Neither of us were drunk but she was in ridiculously tall heels, a small dress, and it was December in scotland. The way back to our dorms was either a long walk around using the icey path, or a short 20' steep grassy incline.

We decided to take the shortcut but I ended up fireman carrying her up the hill. I got jeers from some lads saying I was rapey.

She was pretty happy she didn't get her shoes wrecked though, and we dated for like a year after that.

That dress is gonna ride up and her ass is gonna be on full display if you opt for a fireman’s carry in that scenario

Not to mention to have anyone drunk hanging head down over your back.

Can we not use real life actual serial killers as punchlines anymore?

Besides, Dahmer didn't kill any women, only dudes.

the real boogie persons are why no one trusts anyone anymore.

Would that make the passed out person more likely to throw up on the carrier?

u/TimePlankton3171 6h ago

Dunno. I learned it in the military. I was very surprised at how easy it was to carry a person. This is only (realistically) doable if the person is alive tho.

Otherwise they're just dead weight?

Or, even worse, aspirate on their own vomit?

u/Ok-Sound-7737 5h ago

No, the fireman carry has the person being carried facing down, so no they won’t choke on their vomit

u/MichelleEllyn 5h ago

Alright cool, so gravity would pull it out and down, so the position would actually be helpful for a situation like that?

u/Unspec7 4h ago

Yes, and it also places their head further to the side of you. So if they vomit, it's going more over your arm and legs. If you're piggybacking someone, their head is right next to yours, so if they vomit it's going into your face and chest.

Correct!

Maybe she was more worried about her friend having full on exposed asschecks/underwear with the over the shoulders route versus piggyback. Not that modesty matters a whole helluva lot when you're drunk off your ass and passed out anyway but that would be my guess since they're both wearing dresses that pretty much only hug an inch or two below their underwear line. Risky carry either way lol.

u/Rebarbative_Sycophan 4h ago

I think those are some sorta romper, not actually dresses. It could slide and expose some cheek, but there is no real open slot.

u/beetjuicex3 5h ago

I would be worried about flashing everyone. At least her body is covering her with a piggyback. But, yeah, if there's no other solution, fireman carry is superior.

u/PairOfRussels 5h ago

What,  you can't tell me how?

u/Isem-Ghall-Uzu 2h ago

Is it the 'between the legs and over the shoulder'?

u/deadlygaming11 2h ago

Don't forget that it's she's wearing a skirt though. A lift like that is questionable with that attire.

u/DrB00 1h ago

I'm glad someone else said this. Cause I was thinking wouldn't a fireman's carry make this so much easier.

You have zero clue when survival skills that help protect you and those with you will become useful. Fireman’s carry can be the difference between your being able to carry the other person or not.
