Made a dumb decision and could use some advice

1 month ago 17

Hey guys, I made a dumb decision and am now scared that I am in danger/trouble. I was out with my friends last Friday after not eating much, so I had gotten a little drunker than I had hoped to. After about an hour of being at the bar I decided it was my best bet to uber home. I remember that I kept booking Ubers and canceling them because they were all a while away, and then my memory went fuzzy and I was in some car. I took a lot of videos from the second I entered the vehicle (my phone tracker shows that I have videos from a minute after getting in the bar). I remember being a little weirded out by the dude (about mid thirties, I am 20F), so I took videos of him, his car (had a child booster seat in the back), I FaceTimed my friends, and was getting tracked by my parents my whole ride home (~30 minute long drive home). I also got his place of work (restaurant from across the street from the car), vehicle on my houses security camera, his name (that he told me), and a video of his forearm which had a tattoo. He had his hand on my thigh at one point, but moved it when I called my sister. In all of the videos I was referring to this guy as my uber driver, so I didn't really think much of it. It wasn't until the next morning when I went to rate him that I realized the car I was in was not my uber. My phone said that my uber was cancelled as I didn't show up, and the guy in the picture was completely different. I can't tell if I walked up to his car assuming he was my uber, or if he stopped and asked me to get in. Either way, I am so angry with myself. Luckily, I got home safe, he didn't make any stops or try anything after the hand, and I didn't pay him since I had once again- assumed he was my uber. My dad also ran out so that it was clear I do not live alone. What is now inducing my anxiety is what could happen next. A random guy drove me home for free? of course its possible, but what if he comes back? What if he tries to hurt me or my family for having videos of him? What if he tries to rob me? He knows where I live. I also think that I lost a nail in his car, so what if he commits a crime and plants my DNA in it? What if a crime happens in his car and my DNA is in it? I am so terrified that I am in trouble. In terms of drinking, I definitely will not be doing that again. I can never be so vulnerable again- this could have ended so much worse. As for now, do you guys think that I should be worried for my safety? I don't know what to do.
