Some little tidbit stories make your day

Poor girl, but seriously - no clues on a potential problem here?

Oh wow, Boots -- what an awkward situation!

As for the date victim -- I'm curious to see a picture of her. I wonder if she's ever been featured in People of Walmart. For some people, these are the circles in which they travel. Maybe she was desperate enough to hope this would turn into a "funny story" about how he stole her car on their first date...

My worst date asked me out to dinner. There were some red flags prior, but as a struggling student, I thought, "why not go and at the very least have a nice meal." The guy picked me up at the apartment I was renting from my father (he lived in a separate apartment in the house -- huge old queen ann house with a turret) and proceeded to chastise me about not being able to break away from my "daddy." He also took a deck of antique playing cards I had displayed on my book shelf -- shuffling the delicate old cards vigorously as I watched in shocked silence. Young, stupid, and hungry me decides I will go get that fine meal anyway. We went to the restaurant, sat in a booth and he decided he was going to flirt shamelessly with the waitress. I also remember him going on about failure in his life and crying at the table. All the while, he repeatedly kicked my shins to the point where I had to hang my legs off the side of the bench vs. under the table. There was a point where I thought I should just call someone to come get me, but I guess I decided to ride it out and he drove me home. I COULD NOT WAIT TO GET HOME. I remember pulling up in front of my house and being so anxious to get out of the car and run to the safety of my apartment. As I opened the door, he said, "after all we have been through, don't you think we deserve a kiss?" I think I simply said NO and got out of the car and ran into my apartment and locked the door.

He even had the gall to ask me out to a movie a couple of weeks later. I turned him down...

Ok so when I was young, my friend from high school was attending art college and he said his friend saw my picture and wanted to take me out. I was up for meeting new people (especially hottie art students) so on the promise he was really cute I said yes, sight unseen.

We agreed to meet at a bar. I showed up and he came shortly after. He was not the least bit attractive, at all. The first thing he says to me is "I don't have any money, will you buy me a drink?" Being a poor student as well (and quickly realizing this would go nowhere) I said no. So he drank water and I nursed 1 drink.

He didn't talk. At all. So i pushed him with a few questions. Normal date stuff- do you have siblings? what do you study at college? etc. After a couple brief 1 word answers he finally says "you know... you talk a lot". Ummm ok.

So he asks me if I want to see his "art". Absolutely. He pulls out his sketchpad from his backpack and starts showing me his drawings- very graphic sexual drawings of young Japanese Anime girls. Oh super.

Finally I got up and went to the bar, paid my tab and asked the bartender (an acquaintance of mine) to call my BFF who picked me up. I bailed and didn't say goodbye.

My HS friend later said "Oh he really liked you" and I was like wtf???
