A Mexican man was accused of trafficking his own daughter on a United flight.

Is United just straight up trying to go out of business? They keep having PR disaster after PR disaster after PR disaster. A woman named Maura Furfey wrote a post for Huffington Post detailing her own personal ordeal with United—the airline accused her Mexican husband of trafficking their own 3-year-old daughter, based on nothing more than the observation of a random passenger.

Apparently the passenger was concerned that the man's daughter wasn't dark skinned like him (her mother is white, but wasn't present for the trip), and so she took it upon herself to alert someone on the plane. When the plane landed (they were returning from a trip to Mexico), Furfey's husband was approached by officers from the Port Authority and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and escorted off the plane before anyone else exited.

Once they were off the plane, the officers surrounded them, asking question after question about where their daughter was born, who had been present, where her birth certificate was issued and so on. The little girl began crying from all the commotion.

Finally, the officers asked for Furfey's phone number and called her with the same questions so she could verify the story. They were finally convinced that the Mexican man was the little girl's father and not someone trafficking her. They also mentioned to Furfey that the actual accusation came not from the CBP, who are "trained to identify these kind of situations," but from the woman who'd sat next to them on the plane.

Bear in mind that the man had been traveling with a green card, a notarized letter from Furfey saying that she was permitting her daughter to travel to Mexico for the week, and passports for himself and the girl with the same last name.

And did they get an apology from United? Well, sort of. When Furfey complained to the customer service department, they apologized and gave her a $100 travel voucher (which she claims is useless because they "won't ever fly with this particular airline again"). What she was hoping for was a promise that the airline would review its procedures, because, as Furfey points out, "a simple check of the passports or flight records would clearly show that there was no problem in this situation and would have prevented the drama and stress that it created."

Does United hate their customers? Their shareholders? Being in business? SMDH.


Anne Hathaway and Jimmy Fallon sing songs that have been butchered by Google Translate.

Anne Hathaway joined Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show last night to sing a few pop tunes with a major twist. The lyrics of the songs were first translated to a different language and then back to English through Google's shoddy translate function, altering the lyrics in a hilarious way. Things definitely got lost in translation.

Hathaway started by belting out "Can't Feel My Face" by The Weeknd, now entitled "My Front is Not Felt," and Fallon gave his spin on "I Will Survive," translated to "I Will Be Punctual." In the end, Anne Hathaway and Jimmy Fallon came together to sing P!nk and Nate Ruess' "Just Give Me a Reason," now known as "Only Tell Me Grounds."

Check out the hilarious clip below.

Keep an ear out for the hit song "Only Tell Me Grounds" to be played at a block party or Bar Mitzvah near you!

Sean Spicer was asked about Melissa McCarthy's 'SNL' impression and tried so hard not to look mad.

0

During Monday's White House Easter Egg Roll, Press Secretary Sean Spicer took time away from reading from kids (which the president is supposed to do, but whatever) to speak to CNN's Jim Acosta. Acosta couldn't pass up the chance to ask Spicer what he thinks of the purple-faced, screamy impression of him that Melissa McCarthy keeps performing on Saturday Night Live. In the spirit of the day, Spicer tried to be magnanimous in his answer, but it's easy to see he hates these sketches more than he hates spitting out gum.

At least he wasn't wearing the bunny suit this time.

Jenna Bush Hager calls her dad a feminist, possibly doesn't understand what that word means.

George W. Bush was a bad president, but now that there's an even worse one, he's America's cuddliest grandpa.

The Dubya redemption tour that began in his painting studio continues with his daughter, Jenna Bush Hager, saying that the dude who resurrected the global gag rule is, in fact, a feminist.

Bush Hager told People:

People laugh at this, but I think my dad was a feminist. He showed us that we could be whatever we wanted to be. I want my girls to feel that way. I want them to feel strong and capable and feel like they can conquer the world.

And yes, people do laugh at the idea that George W. Bush is a feminist.

George W. Bush was a decorated general in the War on Women, rolling back reproductive rights andwithdrawing support for a Senate women's rights treaty.

This is all a part of our fun, inescapable, Trump-era rabbit hole where words have no meaning.

George W. Bush is a feminist in the same way that Ivanka Trump is a feminist—evoking the F-word when it's good for #branding, but going against the principles when it comes to enacting policies.

But words can mean whatever you want! Ivanka Trump famously told Gayle King,"If being complicit is wanting to, is wanting to be a force for good and to make a positive impact than I'm complicit."

So when it comes to George W. Bush, if being a feminist means loving his daughters but not using his position of power to ensure rights to other women who didn't spring from his loins, then yes, George W. Bush is a feminist.

Bartenders had to guess which of these strangers are old enough to drink. They sucked at it.

Depending on where you are at in life, being carded can either be seen as compliment or a total headache. Of course, there is no exact science when it comes to bartenders carding their customers, so how accurate are their assessments of people's ages? Well, according to WatchCut Video, not very.

Five bartenders were presented with a group of strangers and had to guess who is and is not underage. There was definitely room for improvement.

If nothing else, this video proves that you should never take getting carded personally, and you should always take good care of your skin! You will get carded forever.

Little boy dancing his heart out becomes Coachella's unlikeliest star.

Last weekend was the first weekend of the star-studded music festival, Coachella. But there was no star shining quite as brightly as this small child dancing his heart out to Migos and Drake.

I don't have an answer as to why someone would think taking a small child to Coachella was a good idea, but the dancing kid truly seemed to be having the time of his life.

Videos of the little boy surfaced on social media, and quickly went viral.

He has a lot of fans now.

As well as some doubters.

But one things for sure, this little dude is living his best life.

Woman who went viral for heartbreaking post on love and fear returns with a hopeful retraction.

In July of 2016, Tumblr user acutelesbian, a 23-year-old writer from Ohio, went viral with a beautiful yet tragic post about her greatest relationship fear. Based on an experience she had in high school, her post showed a maturity, and pessimism, beyond her years.

Her post quickly went viral, to the point that she worried about the message it was sending to strangers. What had started as an intimate portrait of her state of mind at one particular moment was spiraling out of control, spreading across the angsty world of Tumblr at breakneck speed. In October, she shared a followup post to clear the air. Describing the previously unmentioned conclusion to her high school story, the second post was much more hopeful than the first. It was also, if anything, more beautiful.

Now, both her posts are going viral with a whole new audience after being shared on Imgur. It's a clear testament to both the quality of her writing, and the universality of her sentiments. Also, people are just relieved to see something sincere and thoughtful on the internet, instead of more Crying Jordan memes. Not that we don't love a good Crying Jordan meme.

I make a guy wait at least three dates before seeing what a dump my apartment is.


Glenn Beck is countersuing Tomi Lahren. Things are getting messy.

0
0

Okay, things are starting to get really, really messy between conservative pundit/snowflake-hater Tomi Lahren and her former (or current?) employer, Glenn Beck's network, TheBlaze.

On April 7, Lahren filed a lawsuit against TheBlaze for wrongful termination after her show, Tomi, was suspended, and she lost access to her extremely popular Facebook page, which TheBlaze claims they own. Lahren believes she was fired from TheBlaze for pro-choice comments she made on The View on March 17. On the show, Lahren explains that since she believes in limited government, it follows that she doesn't think the government should have control over what women do with their bodies.

Now TheBlaze is countersuing Lahren, according to Variety. Glenn Beck and the people at TheBlaze claim that her employment with the network “remains in full force and effect" (meaning she's still getting paid). So apparently she wasn't actually fired, she's just been suspended permanently from the company, with pay.

TheBlaze's countersuit requests that the court ban Lahren from “making any public appearances without TheBlaze’s prior approval,” from making any public comments about TheBlaze, and from “disparaging, criticizing, ridiculing, or making any negative comments about TheBlaze, Beck, or any of its or his employees or family members, or anyone else known by Lahren to be a friend or other associate of Beck.”

In their counterclaim, Beck and TheBlaze address Lahren's comments on The View, saying:

TheBlaze supports its employees’ expression of their opinions and did not take issue with Lahren’s comments simply because they expressed a pro-choice viewpoint. Her comments were shocking and disappointing because they demonstrated Lahren was uniformed and unprepared to speak on those issues. In addition, her comments were inconsistent with positions she had previously expressed.

Her comments wereinconsistent with positions she'd previously expressed, even as recently as December 2016 when, on her show, she called people who had abortions "straight-up baby killers."

The countersuit stated that many of TheBlaze's supporters found Lahren’s comments to be “offensive," “because they imply that only a hypocrite would believe in the Constitution or conservative values but not be pro-choice. Because Lahren is closely associated with TheBlaze, her statements also reflected negatively on TheBlaze’s reputation.”

But TheBlaze maintains that Lahren wasn't suspended for her comments on The View, but rather for the "divisive" employment conduct that also led to their decision not to renew her contract in September.

For example, they allege that Lahren treated the crew in an "inappropriate and unprofessional" manner, specifically claiming she was "constantly complaining about everything including but not limited to lighting, room temperature, editing, shooting, directing, etc.” They also said her “word choices on air had to be addressed repeatedly for bordering on the profane.”

Tomi Lahren hasn't commented on the countersuit, but she did tweet something that seemed to imply she wasn't taking it too seriously.

Rapper Wale, however, wasn't especially happy to be given a shoutout by Tomi Lahren.

Teen tells her crush she likes him with the ultimate Spotify playlist. It works big time.

How do you tell someone you like them? Pass them a note and ask them to check off yes or no? Get really drunk and blurt it out? Reenact a scene from a rom-com (anything but Love Actually, please)?

Joining the ranks of grand romantic gestures is the Spotify playlist, an adorable way of telling your crush that like them while getting to jam afterwards.

Hannah features some pretty decent tracks.

Awww. Thank god for Kendrick Lamar's pithy titles.

TL;DR:

Twitter loved the gesture and were dying to know the verdict.

People shared their own playlists which range in, um, genre.

And this breakup playlist is simply masterful.

While the art of the physical mixtape might be lost, its spirit lives on on Spotify.

People everywhere confessed the strangest things they believed when they were kids. It got weird.

It is weird to think about all the strange stuff we believed as kids. A giant bunny who hands out eggs? Sure! A fairy who comes into your room at night to collect your teeth? Not creepy at all! Life is fair and we will all be successful if we just work hard and be ourselves? That can happen! Of course, as we get older, we realize the things we once believed to be true are all pretty much BS.

Womp womp.

On Monday, San Francisco-based writer Lauren Turner (@lkoturner) posed the question "What is the weirdest thing you thought was true when you were young?" to her Twitter followers.

She answered first.

Chrissy Teigen was shocked by Kris Jenner's 'bonkers' birthday gift for baby Luna.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's baby daughter Luna celebrated her first birthday on Saturday.

A post shared by John Legend (@johnlegend) on

Chrissy Teigen is famously pretty tight with the Kardashian-Jenner crew (remember when she and Kim K. started a book club?) so it's no surprise that some of little Luna's most lavish birthday gifts came from none other than Kris Jenner.

Luna at one year old now has two more cars than I do at 26. Kris Jenner gifted her with a Minnie Mouse convertible and a pink, tiny version of the Cadillac Escalade.

Teigen wrote on Twitter, "I need a bigger garage. GIFTING QUEEN DOES IT AGAIN. @krisjenner you are BONKERS we love you."

Last day. My love.

A post shared by chrissy teigen (@chrissyteigen) on

Real question: do they make adult versions of that Minnie Mouse convertible?

Grandma teaches deaf granddaughter to sign, and it's the sweetest thing you'll see all day.

Shari Joy McMahon's mother Pamela is deaf, and so is her young daughter, Aria. In a ridiculously sweet video McMahon posted on Facebook, grandmother teaches granddaughter some sign language. The video has gone totally viral, having been watched almost 750,000 times. Little Aria clearly doesn't yet understand what Pamela is trying to say, but she certainly is entranced with her grandmother.

This baby clearly loves her grandma.

Check out the video here.

According to the caption on the Facebook video, Aria was nine weeks old when this video was taken. She's too young to know what she's doing, but it does look like she's making some arm and hand movements, trying to sign back to her grandmother.

Speaking to Scary Mommy, McMahon said, “Aria and I have moved out of state so they haven’t seen each other since the video. They have a special bond and my mom misses her so much.”

Aw, I bet. That is among the sweetest little faces I've ever seen. Hopefully they'll still get to see each other often, because that is a real strong bond of love happening there.

Mom leaves stern note from the Easter Bunny explaining why her kids didn't get any treats.

0

Okay, here's the story: it's almost Easter, but your kids have been misbehaving. Do you reward them for this bad behavior by giving them baskets full of candy, or do you pretend to be a very disappointed Easter Bunny who instead leaves a note for the kids telling them why they're getting nothing this Easter? Tracy Elizabeth, a mom of three kids, decided to go with the latter, hoping it would maybe give her kids something to think about in terms of how they planned to behave in the future.

Wow, don't mess with the Easter Bunny.

So on Easter morning, instead of baskets of goodies, Elizabeth's three kids awoke to find a note left for them by the Easter Bunny. Elizabeth posted a picture of the note on a community board on Facebook, and here's what it said:

To Holly, Jake & Zack,

I am writing you this letter to let you know that this year you are on my “Naughty List” and I am not bringing you any Easter eggs or gifts because I have been watching carefully and you have been very naughty. I have rung Santa and told him to keep a close eye out to see if your behavior improves then you still have time to make his good list.

I hope next year you can do a better job of being good and I will bring you some yummy eggs and a nice new toy.

Please behave for your mum and remember, I am always watching…

Love,

Easter Bunny

Needless to say, there were many different opinions on the matter, and the post received a great deal of feedback, both positive and negative.

Tracy Elizabeth responded to this comment, explaining her reasoning.

Some thoughts: first of all, who knew the Easter Bunny and Santa were so tight? And secondly, this may not keep the kids from acting up all year around, but I'd be surprised if they ever acted naughty before Easter again.

New mom's response to woman who tried to sell her a weight loss product goes viral.

Kelly Diane Howland is a new mom and a very understanding person but she has limits people, okay??? She was recently out shopping at Target with her newborn "obviously fresh baby" when she was approached by a woman who chatted her up with the "usual small talk" about the baby before handing her a flyer and trying to sell her a weight loss product.

SO RUDE.

Howland shared about the incident on Facebook, and the post clearly struck a nerve as it has been shared over 16 thousand times. To her credit, she was impressively nice about the whole thing and decided not to put this woman "just trying to hustle her own living" on blast.

BUT, Howland did call out the woman—and society at large—for "perpetuating the pressure" placed on new moms to lose weight.

"Can we PLEASE not perpetuate the pressure, the impossible expectations, and therefore keep alive the insecurities that we newly postpartum women face regarding our new and changing bodies as we enter motherhood?" she wrote.

She continued: "My body doesn't need to be wrapped or squeezed or changed. It needs to be valued and revered for the incredible life it just brought into this world."

You can read the whole, thoughtful post here:

I have folded back the contact info of the woman who gave this to me because I'm not about to put another woman on blast...

Posted by Kelly Diane Howland on Wednesday, April 12, 2017

In the comments, a few It Works employees and other people have defended the saleswoman for "doing her job." But many others have commended Howland for taking a stand, and spoken out against postpartum body-shaming and rudeness in general.

And a few pointed out that this kind of solicitation is not okay and maybe not even legal.

So, what do you think? Is it totally okay to shill sensitive products in public to people who are just trying to do some shopping at Targét with their new baby? Or should we leave new moms and other shoppers the hell alone??????

(Answer: B)

Sorry your doctor recommended breathing exercises instead of drugs.

People shared stories of the strangest dates they ever went on. You'll swear off love forever.

Look, I don't need to tell you that dating is hard. Sometimes dates go well, sometimes they go poorly, sometimes they're just kind of forgettable. But then, there are some dates that are just plain weird. A recent AskReddit thread posed the question, "What was the strangest date you've ever been on?" And holy moly, there were some weird ones. Here are 11 of the craziest stories.

1. blueberryeyes24's date tried to impress her with hot wings. It did not go well.

While I was rebounding from a 5-year relationship, I went on a sort-of date with this weird dude from my community college who kinda stalked me, but was pretty much harmless. We went to buffalo brothers, and he ordered 2 dozen wings with their ludicrous sauce.

If you've never had this sauce, picture the spiciest thing you've ever eaten, and multiply that by 1,000. I sat and stared in horror as he began eating. He had tears, snot, and sweat rolling down his face and dripping onto the table, but I guess in some attempt to impress me, he finished every single wing.

He immediately excused himself to the bathroom and vomited everything up, came out crying, and took me home. He did pay for dinner, though, which was nice. Once we got to my house, he tried to kiss me. Noooooope.

2. joceapotamus

Wasn't my date, but I had gone home with a guy I had been seeing and when we got there his roommate was curled in a ball on the couch looking pretty shaken. We asked him what was wrong and it took him awhile to get it out, but he finally told us what happened:

He took a girl home from the bar and they started drunkenly tearing each other's clothes off as soon as they got through his bedroom door. She said she was self-conscious though so she wanted the lights off. He switched them off and they started fooling around. She starts going down on him when all of a sudden, the guy notices this horrible smell. He mentions it but she tells him to just ignore it, he's probably imagining things. Finally the smell is too much so he switches the lights on. That's when he sees it.

Shit. Literal shit all over her and all over the bed. He is completely dumfounded, doesn't know what to say or do so apparently all he yelled was "SHIT!!!!" She grabbed all her clothes and ran out of the apartment crying without saying a word and, presumably, still covered in poop.

He threw his bedding out, took an hour long shower, and refused to go back into his room. Pretty much killed our night too. To this day I still wonder what on earth happened- was she into it and was hoping he would be too? Was it an accident and she decided to just go with it? I don’t know which scenario is more horrifying to be honest.

3. AranasLatrain almost got straight up murdered over Donkey Kong.

That one is easy. Met this girl online, and the way the conversations went it was always friendly, getting to know you type banter. After a few online conversations, we meet up at a bar by her. The plans for the evening were to have drinks there then go play Donkey Kong Country at her place. Being the oblivious male I am, I genuinely was excited to play some DKC on Super Nintendo.

We meet up at the bar and things go fine. I wasn't really attracted to her at all, but she was nice and we had an alright time at the bar. So we get back to her place and start watching TV. I look around and don't see a Super Nintendo. Thought maybe it was in her bedroom. I don't mention it because I don't want to be rude. She makes some drinks. We're watching Drunk History, when all of a sudden she looks at me with murder in her eyes "Are we going to stop playing games?!"

I look at her, smiling, trying to play it off, "Do you mean Donkey Kong Country?" She really didn't appreciate that. She scoffs and then proceeds to chide me about how guys are always wanting to play games and want sex. I told her the only game I was wanting to play was DKC. This is when it got weird. She gets up off the couch, calmly, walks to the kitchen and pulls a butcher knife out of somewhere. She just stands in the kitchen, still with the look of murder in her eyes, and stares me down. She doesn't move at all, just staring with the butcher knife at her side. I look back for what feels like a few minutes, and then I jump up and dash for the front door.

I didn't even bother closing the door, behind me I hear the door slam hard, and she's shouting at the top of her lungs, "FUCKING ASSHOLE, PLAYING GAMES, FUCK YOU".

So a night of what I was hoping to be relaxing, friendly conversation, and Donkey Kong Country, turned into my "maybe I could have been murdered" dating story.

TL;DR - Met friendly girl online for drinks and hopefully Donkey Kong. Felt like I was going to be murdered by the end of it.

4. mokita_archetypes' date already had their whole future planned out.

This story isn't as strange as some, but it's my strangest. A guy I'd met a few times contacted me asked me on a date. I had never been asked on a date before and accepted despite thinking him a little strange and having heard some odd things about his family.

He picked me up and everything seemed good, we decided to grab a pizza and eat it in a park. When we went to purchase the pizza, it turned out he worked there and had all his co-workers come out to gawk at me. (This guy wasn't very popular with the ladies and seemed to be proving he had a date). I'm bad in social situations and got super uncomfortable, but didn't know how to bail and we went to the park.

It was very awkward and I wanted to go home by the end of it. We mostly just sat in awkward silence and tried not to hear each other chewing. I thought I was going home, but he decided he wanted to stop at his house. I agree because I honestly did not know how to disagree. (First dating experience). His home turned out to be with his parents. (We were both 18-20). This wouldn't have been so bad had they not all ten of his siblings (I don't remember exactly how many siblings he had) and his parents were home and wanted to meet me.

They weren't just a big, nice family, they were very religious and looked like they belonged to a cult. They all had long hair, homemade clothing, they were home-schooled. The mom said hello, then the dad came in and nobody was allowed to say a word while he questioned me on what me and his son had done on our date and when the family would be seeing me again. It was terrifying. My date showed me his pet turtles, which were really cute, and finally drove me home.

He tried to kiss me after making it clear he thought we were in a relationship after one date. At this point I almost ran from the car. I messaged him later on explaining that I was only looking for friends at this point in time.

TL;DR - first date I'd ever been on. Ended up being paraded before the staff at a pizza place and meeting my dates VERY religious family. He thought we were dating by the end of the failed date.

5. dafuk_'s date was weird for the most adorably innocent reason. I truly hope they're still friends.

I went on a date with a guy in my apartment block, only to see his disappointed face when my girlfriend called me on the way home. I realised he'd assumed I was gay and that I'd assumed he was just a friendly guy wanted to hang out.

6. Why 208th's date thought sharing this story was a good idea is beyond me.

Matched on tinder with a guy who decided that a great story to tell in detail on our date was about the time he fisted a lady and tore her up so bad inside that she was bleeding profusely and had to go to the hospital to get stitches.

After he was done telling the story, he told me he was glad I told him I was super squeamish, because now he wouldn't try to show me pictures of all the blood he had saved on his phone. He also said he had been on well over 100 tinder dates, and I had managed to land in his top 10.

I never talked to him again.

7. I can't believe bitterbillsfan didn't stay to find out where the bear came from.

It's 2001, so VHS & chill at this girl's dorm room.

My first time over there, and there is this giant bear on the bed. Like, got the softball in the milk jug at the carnival first try tier bear. It occupies 50% of the surface area.

I say "whoa, how'd you score that bear?"

Her: "I don't know..."

Me: "Wot?"

Her: "I don't know"

A few minutes go by.

Me: "You don't know?"

Her: "Yeah."

Me: "Ok, look. It's ok if it's from an ex. I don't care if you stole it. I'll believe almost anything you tell me at this point. But there is no way in hell you're going to tell me you don't know where that giant bear is from. I had a stuffed dinosaur 1/4 that size that I got when I was 6 and I could tell you every detail about how I got it."

Her: "Well good for you. But I don't know how I got it. Are you going to be able to let this go?"

Me: (looks at bear, bear stares back, eyes full of secrets) "I don't think I can" (walk out)

8. Am I weird for thinking this story about i7xx and his date making friends with someone who's likely a criminal is nice?

Well, this one time I took my date to dinner at (what seemed to be) a front for some type of illicit activity.

We had just moved to a new area, and we wanted to check out the local shops and restaurants. While we were wandering, we stumbled into a tiny Italian place. Back home, the small hole-in-the-wall restaurants always have the best food, so we were excited to give it a shot. Big curtains were covering the entry windows, so we had no idea what was inside until we trudged through the door.

Inside, we were met with emptiness and silence. We both immediately thought the store was closed, and I spun around and searched for the store hours posted somewhere on the door. While I was looking, we heard a heavy THUD as a young woman barked "I'll be right with you!"

She appeared, greeted us confusingly, and asked us 'what she could do for us'. Which, looking back, is probably a red flag. But we were naive and hungry, so we said we were there for dinner. She looked puzzled, but motioned us to follow her to a booth right by the entrance.

She then disappeared into the back, and we heard a muffled conversation between our hostess and a man. The consensus was basically they were not prepared for us, or didn't know how to proceed. I asked my date if she wanted to split, but she insisted we stay for the story.

The square shaped balding man burst through the kitchen door with two glasses of water for us, and in a very loud and deep voice he explained that it was his birthday, and we would eat what he felt like making us. We whole-heartedly agreed.

We waited around thirty minutes, and he again returned with three large bowls of spaghetti and meat sauce. He placed two bowls in front of us, and one next to me for himself. He sat with us and ate. We had light and awkward conversation with him during, and he kept asking us jokingly if we were cops or with the health board. He was incredibly nervous about us, so my date kept cracking corny puns or awful jokes because he would foricbly laugh at anything designed with humor. We talked about our lives, the cities we've lived in, our pets (he had a teacup Chihuahua named Princess) and his wife.

He decided we were good people, and didn't change us for the meal. We wished him a happy birthday, he hugged us, and we went on our way. Easily the best spaghetti I've ever had in my life. The restaurant, unfortunately, no longer exists.

9. smittenkitten97's date story goes from bad to batshit crazy in about 2 seconds.

Meet a guy online. He asks me to dinner at a tapas place, I agree because I'm bored and he seems nice enough; we'd been texting for a couple weeks and it seemed chill. I get there and he's late to meet me. Looks nothing like his profile (about 100 lbs heavier, bad skin, and is just dressed really sloppily) but I told myself not to be shallow. We are looking over the menu (which was fantastic btw) and I suggest a few things I'd like to eat and he begins saying he doesn't eat sweet potatoes, aioli, capers, salmon, radish, arugula, kale, balsamic vinegar, etc.--basically all ingredients except for bread, meat, and cheese--and that he won't eat any food if that's what I tell him to get what he wants then and I'll get something for myself. We get our food and he is the messiest eater I've seen in my life, getting crumbs and food bits all over his shirt and the whole table and it was just painful to watch. He also kept insisting I try his food, but I'm pescatarian and lactose intolerant so I declined, at which he began berating me and my food choices and being a "picky eater". They clear our table for dessert and he then gets down on one knee and tries to give me a promise ring because he "felt a special bond with me and wanted to pledge his life to me" after having met online a few weeks before. Yeah, no thanks. Politely as I could, I declined, to which he started calling me expletives in the middle of the restaurant and then ugly crying and stormed out. So I had to pay for the terrible date HE asked ME on because I didn't want to accept a pre-engagement ring. TL;DR guy I met online turns out to be really odd and throws a hissy fit when I refuse to wear a promise ring he bought

When another Reddit user pointed out that it sounded like the guy was just scamming smittenkitten97 for a free meal, she provided this horrifying update:

No, he called me 47 times that night leaving apologetic voicemails of him crying on the phone (I didn't pick up) and after several days of this I blocked him

10. 420ZeusNoScope literally climbed a tree to get away from his date.

Went on a date with a girl who ended up being much weirder than I thought. If I started walking away from her she'd grab my arm crazy tight and pull me closer. There was a few minutes where I actually climbed a tree to get away for a moment. I'm talking like no branches, straight up, sitting on a branch stump, tree. There was a point where I went to move away from her as she was getting awkwardly close and she dug her wrist into my arm and actually cut me with her nails.
Thinking back, I really should have just left earlier, but I was 16 and clueless so for some reason I stayed.
Anyway, I ended up being backed into a tree and tossed off for a while. Didn't really want to stop her. If she cuts me up when I'm move away from her, I can't imagine what she'd do with my junk in her hand. It was a weird day for me.

11. kalvinbastello should get an award just for the TL;DR at the end.

Met a girl online, talked it up, and while she seemed a bit immature, thought heck, why not? She casually mentioned she really liked pigs. What she meant to say was she was obsessed with pigs. OBSESSED.

Go to one of the best restaurants in the area for a first date (bad idea). Sometimes pictures are from someone 10 years prior, or the person hides things, etc. But that wasn't the problem. She looked just like her pictures. But I didn't even have to have seen her first, because everything else gave it away.

She came in a giant T-shirt that had a sparkly pink pig on it. Earrings? Pig earrings. Bracelets? Yep, pig bracelets--I swear her dad might have been Homer Simpson. She had this headband on with a little pig on it. Her shoes? Yep, pigs on the front of the toes! But best of all? She had a GIANT (or at least it seemed giant) pink purse with the face of a pig on it.

You could not stop seeing it once you did. And I'm sure everyone else in this nicer/classier restaurant saw it too. I felt overdressed with her but under-dressed with every other couple there. It was beyond embarrassing. For some reason which I have to convince myself was politeness not stupidity, we still had dinner. But Reddit, it was the fastest damn dinner I've ever had at a sitdown place.

I practically blurted out something about how "oh, you really do like pigs..." which she started giggling (oinking?) and going on about how everything she has is pig themed. Then she wouldn't stop, and it became the dominant part of the conversation. There were a dozen other things that made it a train-wreck, but these were the clinchers to a solid 0/5 date. I remember afterwards consoling with a friend of a friend, because I had to tell someone; and then I promptly buried this as my worst date.

TL;DR: Girl was obsessed with pigs but ironically no porking at end.

Bet you're not so bummed that you haven't been on a date in a while now, huh? Be careful out there.

Would you wear the most liked wedding dress on Instagram?

While Instagram is overall ruled by celebrities—Beyoncé got a whopping 7.5 million likes for her pregnancy announcement—some superlatives still belong to the regulars.

Indonesian bride Intan Azzahra holds the honor of Most Liked Wedding Dress of All Time, according to Allure.

This gown has 250,000 likes/hearts/notes of approval, and it's pretty magnificent.

MOTHER OF PEARL!

Look at the details. The skirt reminds me of cake and I would like to eat it, please.

Made by Indonesian designer Ivan Gunawan, the dress is straight out of a Disney movie, with her groom Zendhy Zaen looking like Prince Charming.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Look at the happy couple, bound together by holy matrimony and intricate beadwork.

At the reception, Sazzahra changed into a big red frock that is certainly something else.

It doesn't have as many likes, but it certainly is regal.

Looking at the gorgeous pearls and beads on the white dress, it's very possible that it takes $250,000 to get 250,000 likes.

For Sazzhara to keep her title, here's hoping that Beyoncé and Jay Z don't plan on renewing their vows anytime soon.
