A (we’re guessing) drunk turbo-feminist entered a Lyft car, and instead of quietly enjoying the ride, she decided it was best to berate the driver for five minutes over a hula girl bobblehead sitting on his dashboard.
“You thought that was adorable,” she said to him. “You didn’t think of the pillaging of, like, the continent of Hawaii.”
For the crime of insulting the “continent” of Hawaii, the Lyft driver had to endure some of the worst entitled valley girl speak that California has to offer. Finally he decided to kick her out of the car after miraculously keeping his cool through her profanity-laden rant.
The social justice warrior in the car has been identified as Annaliese Nielsen, the owner of a high profile LA-based digital girl’s club (think online sorority for rich annoying people). The video of the incident was anonymously delivered to journalist Lauren Southern, who uploaded it to YouTube.
Nielsen thought she was being clever by filming the incident, believing she was firmly on the side of justice.
“You will be published on Gawker,” Nielsen told the driver. “And you’ll be like the next internet meme, it’s going to be super funny.”
Ironically she filmed the video with the intention of causing an online dogpile on the driver, but instead it completely back fired. She had to delete her Twitter account which has now been taken over by a troll.
She responded to the events on Facebook, claiming she has received a barrage of harassment since Southern published the video.

It just goes to show that the internet is a double-edged sword for dispensing shame and outrage-fueled justice.
