Vent: My date at the pier last summer ended with a seagull stealing my sandwich

We were on a picnic in Santa Monica, and I'd just unwrapped my turkey club when this huge bird swooped down, grabbed the whole thing, and my date just burst out laughing for a solid five minutes. I was honestly more annoyed at his reaction than the bird, and the whole vibe just died after that. Has anyone else had a date completely ruined by something totally stupid like that?

My first dinner with a guy named Paul was wrecked by a fire alarm. We were at a nice Italian place and they had just brought our pasta when this awful, blaring alarm went off. We all had to stand outside in a parking lot for twenty minutes while the fire trucks came. By the time we got back inside, the food was cold and the mood was totally gone. We just ate quickly and called it a night.

Did you ever go out with that guy again, or was the seagull incident the final straw? Laughing for five straight minutes at your misery is a pretty big red flag.

My worst date involved a sudden downpour in Central Park. We got completely soaked and his phone died in his pocket, so we had to walk forty blocks in silence. The whole thing just fizzled out over something that stupid.
