Cheeze Police

I reached for a box of Cheez-Its. He implied I shouldn’t eat them. I said “Why not? You don’t seem to mind looking at my a**.” He grabbed one of my thighs, jiggled it, and said “It’s not your a** I’m worried about.”

Aftermath: I broke up with him.

Parking Nazi

admin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 15:00:04 +0000

On on our first date as he drove around looking for a parking spot, an elderly couple was slow getting out of their spot, and he started screaming and swearing at them about how slow old people are. He finally gave up on them and proudly pulled into a handicapped parking space as he showed me that he has his “Granny’s” parking tag that he can use.

— MLJ

Aftermath: I was so embarrassed to be seen with this guy that I ended it quickly after that.

The Defecator

I was dating a guy who installed water softeners. He told me that while he was at people’s homes if the water was shut off he would just s*** there in their basement or crawl space. If it was the crawl space, he left it.

— Kimberly

Aftermath: I am no longer with him. The man I am marrying knows how to hold it and where to go.

Spittin’ Nails

He refused to use nail clippers, instead pulling his foot up to his mouth and chewing off his toenails! Then he spit them out on my carpet!

— Angie

Aftermath: I packed his stuff and put it in my driveway. Then I called him at work and told him to bring a truck because he was OUT!

Sugar Mamma

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to take me out to a nice dinner as my present. Dinner was awesome until the bill came and he conveniently forgot his wallet. He slid the bill across the table and said “You’ve got this, right babe?” Happy Valentine’s Day to me!

— Amanda

Aftermath: To make up for the incident he took me out to a nice dinner again. This time, instead of forgetting his wallet he didn’t have enough money to cover the bill.

Got What She Wanted

tdomf_feb82 — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 09:00:51 +0000

She noticed my grandma’s opal pedndant, a family heirloom. She asked if she could borrow it. I said “Maybe someday, it’s really important to me.” Two and a half years later I give in and let her borrow it for a weekend. She breaks up with me over the phone that night and refused to see me ever again. Guess she got what she wanted.

— Heirloom

Aftermath: She tried to get back with me a few times but denies she has the pendant, despite running in to her and seeing it around her neck. I’m only allowed the satisfaction of denying her advances, but I’d rather have the heirloom.

Waiting by the phone

tdomf_feb82 — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 09:00:53 +0000

It was great. Then one day he said, “We need to talk”—but then wouldn’t take my calls. So I went without any last words.

— Snake

Aftermath: It’s been two months and we still haven’t had the “talk.”

I’ll (never) get the next one

tdomf_feb82 — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 09:00:40 +0000

We had been talking on the phone for a month (he was overseas). The night I picked him up from the airport we went out. When we went to the bar for drinks he looked at me and said “You got this one I’ll get the next.”

— Nancy

Aftermath: We went out four other times and he did the same thing everytime, he never did get the next one!

A guy I dated had a choice, one night on going out with me or going with his friends. He flipped a coin and I lost.

— Wendy

Aftermath: He later came to my door and apologized, but it was too late.
