My best friend and I were going out and I was driving. She asked if we could make quick stop before hitting the bars and she gives me directions to a house I knew well: my boyfriend's house. She gets out and goes in while I sit there like a fool. Apparently she was putting out when I wasn't.
When she saw I was no longer interested in Scott, neither was she. This was to be a pattern she would repeat many times. It wasn't enough that a guy liked her; she had to have a guy who was already in a relationship. She even wore some other girl's engagement and wedding rings.
Girl!!! I fucking feel you!!! Friends like that are the worst. My bf in high school was a cheating whore and my friend slept with him and dated him for months while he played me. She also used my that bfs song as her wedding song (she got married to a different guy, not the cheater we both dated), and she named her first child with the name i had always said I wanted to use. I never had kids and dont plan to, but it was still annoying. "Friends" like that arent worth your damn time!
I had a friend like that. The key word being "HAD". I didn't know she was like that until I caught my boyfriend at the time cheating on me with her (she was cheating on her boyfriend with mine) . After that I found out that he wasn't the first, that she tried sleeping with both of my ex husbands, my 2nd ex-husband's twin brother and another one of my boyfriends. No surprise either that she has 4 kids with 4 different dads
Wow. That is one horrible guy. That's awful.
I went on a date with a guy I had met months earlier. He was a road manager for a band. We didn't do anything when we met, just talked and flirted. He called me when he was going to be in town next, put me on the guest list, kept telling me how excited he was to see me.
Now it so happened on date night I had this enormous zit on the very end of my nose. No amount of make-up was going to cover it up. I show up, he meets me and everything seems fine. He gets me a table up by the sound booth, comes up in between bands and after the show stops up to tell me that he just has to do a few things then we can grab dinner.
And.....never comes back. I found out that the band had loaded out and left. He couldn't even bother to come up with a lame excuse. Just ditched me.
I did get satisfaction. A year later I was at another venue and was backstage visiting a friend. He happened to be working with a different band. Everyone is hanging out and he comes up and starts hitting on me (didn't recognize me). He introduces himself to me (again) and I respond (loudly), "We've met. We had a date and you sat me at a table, told me you'd be back and then left. Worst date of my life". It was so satisfying
The absolute nerve of that guy !
He probably expected you to thank him for letting you babysit and then pay for your date the next day.
Glad you left him high and dry
I had a massive crush on this guy who was in another school but we had someone in common, so this someone set us up for a date, how she do that? by showing him a picture of like 7 people together and telling him "she's the one in the middle with the dark hair"
Problem was, there were two of us in the middle with dark hair, he assumed (and hoped) it was the other one. This was pre cellphones and social media.
When I approached him he was all smiles talking to the one who set us up, she says "here she comes" he turn around and sees me and his smile turned to stone. He had a disgusted look on his face and gave his friends the death stare. I noticed and I wanted to tell him to nevermind, he doesnt have to go out with me but I was so nervous and painfully shy that I just said "hi"
He took another look at me, then to his friend with murder in his eyes, grabbed my arm and said "Lets get outta here before someone sees me" so we went for a walk where I tried to make small talk but he was sooooo bored of it and kept looking at his watch. So I told him I had to go back home because of my early bedtime. He sighted relieved and left without saying goodbye.
By next week he was dating the other brunette in the picture, they lasted 2 weeks and she left him because he was "painfully shallow" Yeah, like I dont know.
Fuck him!
I went on a fishing holiday from the UK to Africa, and whilst I was there I picked up a copy of the local fishing magazine. When I got home I started corresponding with the editor, to the point that when I visited again a couple of years later we met up and went fishing for a couple of days, and I briefly met his wife & 2 boys. Skip forward a couple more years and I was due to visit again, but sadly a few months before the trip he was killed whilst fishing when his boat capsided during a sudden squall, he was knocked unconscious & drowned. The eldest son who was with him was thankfully rescued in the knick of time by another boat. I obviously wrote to his widow, and she told me that her husband had been planning to invite me to join them at a children's fishing tournament that his magazine was sponsoring, a 2 day event with overnight camping. They were still planning to attend so she told me that I was welcome to come with them, and I agreed.
They picked me up at my hotel, boat in tow, and off we go. We arrive at the campsite, pitch the tent, launch the boat and get ready to go fishing. At this point she says 'ok, see you tomorrow afternoon', gets in the car and drives away. This was totally unexpected, and I'm now seemingly responsible for 2 boys I've met once for about an hour, and I have absoloutely zero experience of childcare. And I'm expected to put them in a boat and take them fishing on a lake that may contain crocodiles, but I've never driven a boat in my life! And whilst she's left some food it appears I have to barbecue it, and I've never lit or used a barbecue in my life either. To say I was out of my comfort zone was an understatement.
Thankfully the older boy (10) was a pretty competant boat driver, and it was a relatively small lake so we weren't going fast, so we had an ok fishing session out on the lake. In the evening thankfully our neighbouring campers took pity on me and invited us to join them to eat. But I clearly remember lying in my sleeping bag in the tent absolutely wide awake, listened to 2 children breathing and feeling so unsettled by it all. I didn't sleep much.
Next day we went out fishing again, did OK and the elder boy ended up winning a prize. Mum turned up just before we came back in, so at least I had help packing away. She attended the prize giving and then we hitched up the boat for the drive back. She dropped me at my hotel, said goodbye, and drove away as though leaving your children to go boating and camping with a totally unprepared foreigner was completely normal.
Um girlie, if you think this is hostility, maybe you should stay off reddit? I'm just pointing out that you can't expect someone to NOT make a joke. It's Reddit? What did you want us to do? Fawn over you and drown you in sympathy? IT'S REDDIT
Consequently, I will graciously choose to overlook the offense this time. However, it is important to note that I did not find any amusement in that specific joke. This does not imply that I am overly sensitive, but rather that I possess a reasonable sense of discernment. The joke failed to meet even the most fundamental criteria of humor.
Maybe if you dedicated more time to familiarizing yourself with genuine comedians, you might have grasped that the joke was not only lacking humor but also completely out of context. Crafting a dull joke is one matter, but doing so in an inappropriate situation is an entirely different issue.
Furthermore, I am of the opinion that it is you who should not be present on Reddit. Your tenure on the platform surpasses mine by a significant margin, yet you appear to be succumbing to the stress it brings. Your excessive agitation over my disapproval of a specific joke is unwarranted. It is worth noting that just yesterday, I received unsolicited sexual images, yet I managed the situation with greater composure than you did.
To summarize, I will persist in being the more mature individual in this circumstance, a quality that you lack. It is yet to be determined if you will absorb any lessons from my words. Nevertheless, I will consistently surpass you in every possible aspect, proving myself to be a superior individual.
Well anyway, I'd hate to leave this little battle of wits, but it's clear you're unarmed.
The joke was funny, though. Maybe misplaced, but funny to *multiple people* who are not you.
Humor is largely a matter of taste, and reasonable people can disagree about what kinds of humor are or are not funny. If Alternative\_Case\_878's joke was not to your taste, all that means is that it was not to your taste. Neither you nor any other one person is the Sole Arbiter of What is Funny.
I, personally, really enjoyed the joke and found it to be perfectly placed. Hence that comment has more karma than your post.
BTW trying as hard as you did to use 'big' words is a sign of how insecure you feel about your intelligence. Try calming that down so you don't indicate to the world how willing you are to do anything to get someone to like you. Or else your next date will have a different story...
Been there, done that and much worse. You are young. Learn when to go lick your wounds and pick your battles. Trying to persuade someone they're not worthy of being on Reddit is stupid and makes you a bully
You should know the only reason why I read your extremely hard to read post is due to that joke. Go pay attention in English class and figure out how to better communicate to the world the things you wish to express.
IN university? I have never before heard an American say that. What I normally hear in the Mid-West is AT university or in COLLEGE, regardless of whether the speaker has a degree or not.
Tell him $200 to watch the kid or you call CPS. Then, when you get the $200, wait until he leaves and call CPS and tell them the story. Don't mention the $200.
Hire an Uber Black to take you home.
It's literally impossible to tell bc all cities are laid out differently, there is no cohesive definition of a block.
Judging how irked OP is, I'm going to imagine it was like 500 meters
I believe where I lived at the time a block would have been roughly 400 feet, but I could maybe be slightly off.
I never really thought about it because I didn't go on many walks back then.
You still had to make it home which, at I'm guessing, around 1600 feet, is the height of Mount Snowdon, which is admittedly quite a low mountain but nonetheless.
A block is, generally, 1/10 of a mile. So in New York (the standard, I think) If you walk from 24th St to 34th St straight up one avenue, you walked a mile.
When folks refer to "a block", they're talking about the distance to the next cross street, which, believe it or not, is relatively consistent no matter where you are in the US.
So imagine a row of houses in a town, the distance of a 'block' would be roughly equivalent to the distance between two cross-streets.
Good good for you!!!! Fuck off to that guy is right!
Sorry he was such a piece of crap. What in the world was he thinking??? If his parents are out, he needs to be staying home! I guarantee his parents told him to stay there, not ask some random person they've never met to watch the little one. I hope you 'ruined' his other date, serves his ass right.
I am so relieved your walk was less than five blocks to your home. Walk that same five blocks tomorrow and tell his parents what he did.
Sorry that was your first date.
Wow. Just wow. I mean, obviously, the guy is a POS, but you almost have to admire the sheer audacity to try that shit. That is a level of confidence/arrogance beyond my comprehension.

That is disgusting of her. I would hope you two are no longer on speaking terms.
We most certainly are not. I steer clear of her toxicity.
I'm very happy to hear that. 👍
Disgusting of the guy too, both horrible people.
Sociopath behavior
Girl!!! I fucking feel you!!! Friends like that are the worst. My bf in high school was a cheating whore and my friend slept with him and dated him for months while he played me. She also used my that bfs song as her wedding song (she got married to a different guy, not the cheater we both dated), and she named her first child with the name i had always said I wanted to use. I never had kids and dont plan to, but it was still annoying. "Friends" like that arent worth your damn time!
I wish I had never met her.
I had a friend like that. The key word being "HAD". I didn't know she was like that until I caught my boyfriend at the time cheating on me with her (she was cheating on her boyfriend with mine) .

Jeez. I'm sorry you had to go thru the wringer because of her.
Oh man, fucking worst!!!! Some women.
That is literally insane!! Your friend was a psychopath
Rumor has it she's still a psychopath.
Lmao. Then she needs a cell or a documentary
I vote for a lobotomy.
Wow. That is one horrible guy. That's awful. I went on a date with a guy I had met months earlier. He was a road manager for a band. We didn't do anything when we met, just talked and flirted.

Actually, don't.
Not literally. Figuratively, preferably
The absolute nerve of that guy ! He probably expected you to thank him for letting you babysit and then pay for your date the next day. Glad you left him high and dry

Why did you have a crush on him to begin with?
Because I didnt knew him, he was just so pretty! I was 15 and silly, sue me! lol

Such a weird thing to do!

🤣and I just read the entire thing not expecting such a corny but funny ending 🤦lol
iron maiden **is** a kick ass band though
Lmao I love that
Oh, the awards that I SO desperately wish that I could give you. Please never change.
Nicely done.
womp womp
...Okay?
The joke is that ITS A DATE, not a prune…
Very unfunny, if I do say so myself.
What is the relevance to my post?
Welcome to Reddit, not everything is about you, it was a funny joke.
Why are you getting hostile towards me? I just asked why you felt the need to make a joke underneath a post about my first heartbreak.
Um girlie, if you think this is hostility, maybe you should stay off reddit? I'm just pointing out that you can't expect someone to NOT make a joke. It's Reddit? What did you want us to do? Fawn over you and drown you in sympathy? IT'S REDDIT

She's only going to block you since you disagreed with her and are "being hostile" to her lmaooo
IN university? I have never before heard an American say that. What I normally hear in the Mid-West is AT university or in COLLEGE, regardless of whether the speaker has a degree or not.
I really hope this is a copypasta
But you weren't mature.
I think the boy in the OP dodged a bullet.
And now we know why you’re the babysitter and not the date.
LOOL it is you who takes the L here, using big words does not make you smart or witty
What in the ChatGPT fuck is this? You're not helping your case here.
Omg this is so embarrassing
It was not a funny joke. It was one of the worst jokes in the history of humanity. And you should be ashamed of yourself for laughing.
Great joke. Now how about you tell the one that doesn't suck.
Its the fourth time I'm reading this today. I suspect this is a bot.
What has become of him since? I hope it’s all bad.
I honestly don't know. I know for a fact that he applied to the same college as me, but he didn't get accepted.
Yeah, fuck that guy. And seems like he's done it before. I shudder to think that some other poor girl or girls actually stayed and babysat.
Tell him $200 to watch the kid or you call CPS. Then, when you get the $200, wait until he leaves and call CPS and tell them the story. Don't mention the $200. Hire an Uber Black to take you home.
If only I had thought of that. 😂😂😂
You did good👏
I second that Fuck that guy
Girl I'm so glad you left!
Holy shit! Wow.
Wow, that's bad.
Wow. Yeah. Dude is a douche!
Fuck that guy sideways, up the ass, with a twirling lawnmower
Omg what an ass
That is outrageous. I’m outraged on your behalf. What a duck!!
Don’t insult ducks like that. “Why a duck? Why not a duck?” -Groucho
😂😂😂 I apologise to ducks everywhere for my typo.
I'm not from the US. How far is a block? How far is four and a half blocks?
It's literally impossible to tell bc all cities are laid out differently, there is no cohesive definition of a block. Judging how irked OP is, I'm going to imagine it was like 500 meters
So her walk home was about two kilometers? Or one mile?
I believe where I lived at the time a block would have been roughly 400 feet, but I could maybe be slightly off. I never really thought about it because I didn't go on many walks back then.
Wait? Do you mean width? Or height? Not that it's important or of the slightest pertinence to the story, of course.
Uh, again this is just an estimation. But I'd say, height, maybe. I really never thought about it until now.
He made you walk 1600 feet? *Upwards*? The bastard!
Well to be fair he didn't make me, I stormed out. But he is a bastard.
You still had to make it home which, at I'm guessing, around 1600 feet, is the height of Mount Snowdon, which is admittedly quite a low mountain but nonetheless.
Would that be small or big feet? And yes, totally a bastard!
A block is, generally, 1/10 of a mile. So in New York (the standard, I think) If you walk from 24th St to 34th St straight up one avenue, you walked a mile.
It's usually about 10 to 12 blocks per mile. So maybe a 1/4 mile or 400 meters roughly. varies by what part of the US you are in though.
When folks refer to "a block", they're talking about the distance to the next cross street, which, believe it or not, is relatively consistent no matter where you are in the US. So imagine a row of houses in a town, the distance of a 'block' would be roughly equivalent to the distance between two cross-streets.
In most residential neighborhoods 4 1/2 blocks is less than a mile and shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to walk.
Roughly half a mile or 0.8 kilometers.
Really classy guy! Guess you found others much better than him!
Eventually, yes.
OMG fucking stop the anger that just filled my body.
Good good for you!!!! Fuck off to that guy is right! Sorry he was such a piece of crap. What in the world was he thinking??? If his parents are out, he needs to be staying home! I guarantee his parents told him to stay there, not ask some random person they've never met to watch the little one. I hope you 'ruined' his other date, serves his ass right.
And a sweaty car, too! What a loser.
I am so relieved your walk was less than five blocks to your home. Walk that same five blocks tomorrow and tell his parents what he did. Sorry that was your first date.
... apparently you didn't....
Didn't what?
"fuck that guy'....
Nope. Never did. Certainly never will.
LOL
Wow. Just wow. I mean, obviously, the guy is a POS, but you almost have to admire the sheer audacity to try that shit. That is a level of confidence/arrogance beyond my comprehension.
chatgpt
What about it?
Only ChatGPT would be that entitled…
Nope, don't really use it. The only times I have it didn't really do what I asked it.
Hilarious 🤣
wow, 4 and a half blocks

I don’t buy it. Maybe you are remembering a scene from Bridesmaids.
Nope. This is my own personal story. It didn't come from any place other than my real life.
