Worst date ever: Man who built a menu-fort to block out girl he was bickering with

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Worst date ever: Man who built a menu-fort to block out girl he was bickering with (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 4/23/2013 9:31:06 AM EDT

Watching a couple argue in public can be an awkward moment. But this furious man was so angry with his dinner date he decided to build a wall using menus to block out the girl he was with who can be seen playing on her mobile phone. The amusing photo was snapped by software designer Adam Howell in the restaurant Olive Garden, in Pineville, North Carolina, who then posted the image on Twitter.

The guy should get up to go to the bathroom and take off leaving her with paying the bill and finding her own way home.

What a dumbass. Shoulda taken her to a steak house, then shit his pants, had a series of more poop-related mishaps, and bailed.

I can see why. She has man hands.

I'd punch out long before getting to that point. Not proud to say I've ditched several women mid-date

I think he was just entertaining her. Could of been reading off the menu out loud to her before ordering while she's multitasking.

Probably because you don't have the emotional maturity of a two-year old.

Alternate Theory:

She's texting him the nudie pics she has of herself on her phone, after telling him all the deliciously naughty things she plans to do to him later, and now he's looking at his phone while rubbing the crotch of his jeans with his greasy mitts...

That's a pretty pathetic barricade. I'd have asked for more menus.

After you have been divorced once and have a prenup for the second then your bullshit tolerance goes way down.

I'd leave and go to the nearest sports bar.

Or when she answered her phone and texted for the next half hour. Maybe he was just bored and was looking for something to read.

I'm lucky I dated pre cell phones. From what I've seen I'd have had a series of the shortest dates on record. As it is they had no alternative but to listen to my pseudo-sophisticated prattle.

Degree of knowledge of each other? Length of relationship? Some people like makeup sex...

kinda what I was thinking
once you have built a menu fort.... might as well pay the bill and leave

I once went to dinner with a ex
as soon as I sat down I thought "this was a dumb idea"
and then I told her exactly that

literally sat down and even though it had been a year it was immediate arguing/bickering
and a reminder that I did in fact not like this girl... silly that I forgot that in a years time
