Thought this might be a fun little thread for all of you AT nerds. There has gotta be plenty of horror stories to go around based on the fact that people create threads of when they are going on dates and all of the other crap that has happened to them. So give us all a good laugh or make us feel your pain with the worst dates ever.
I'll get the ball rolling with this one.
So I had met this girl at a party and we had been dating for about 3 weeks. Everything was going great and we had dinner planned for a Thursday night right before spring break. I had to work, but then I was going to go pick her up from her work and we would go out to dinner. So anyways, I'm at work surfing the net cause it's a slow day and no computers broke down, and I decided that I wanted to go look at some TV's. I left work a bit early to go look at a TV at Circuit City. It was the middle of rush hour and I had to change lanes. There were a ton of cars in front of me, all lined up at an intesection for over half a block. They must have been inching foward because I don't remember brake lights; but I went to check my blind spot before changing lanes and looked back to realize that all the cars in front of me were stopped.
I hit the breaks and thought "Oh sh!t here I go" as I plowed into the woman in front of me at about 40mph. The Airbag went off a little late, right in front of my face as I got slammed back into the seat. My Corsica was totaled, the front of it looked like an accordian. Luckily her car was taller than mine, so I only tore off her muffler and damaged her bumper; but since I only had basic collision coverage I couldn't get my car repaired. I could barely get the doors open on my car and since the inside was filled with that powderly crap and electrical smell from the airbag I wanted to wait outside. The temperature was below zero that day, and since I was only going from the car to the door of my work, I didn't bring a hat or gloves. Great planning. So I'm all shook up about the car, while hopping around from the cold. The police come, cite me for inattentive driving and tow my car. I got dropped off at the nearest mall and called my roommate to pick me up.
He finally picked me up and I am a half an hour late for the date as we head back. He drops me off where I meet this girl at work and she is suprised to see me get out of another car. I apologize to her for being late and explain that I totaled my car after work. She expresses her condolances and we walk to dinner. Half way through dinner, out of nowhere she gives me the, "I'm not ready for a relationship, we should just be friends" line. It turned out that she just broke up with her BF, which I was unaware of, and basically she used me as the rebound guy for a couple of weeks. After some more awkward conversation and an even more awkward goodbye I went home; pissed as hell. A couple of days later I was laughing about all of it though; because I have such bad luck it's funny sometimes and hey, it makes for a great story. It all worked out in the end though as I met my current girlfriend 2 weeks later and we have been together almost 6 months.
