My attempt at a fancy picnic date in Griffith Park went totally sideways

I brought a whole charcuterie board and a bottle of wine, but a rogue squirrel stole an entire wedge of brie right off the blanket while we were talking. Anyone else have a date completely hijacked by wildlife?

Honestly that's a pretty good story though, did it at least break the ice or just ruin the whole vibe? I mean, a seagull gang is one thing, but a single squirrel pulling off a heist feels almost personal. Makes me wonder if you're ever going back to that spot.

Oh man, it totally ruined the vibe. We just sat there staring at the empty spot where the cheese was, listening to this squirrel crunch through the wrapper in a tree. My date tried to laugh it off but you could tell the magic was gone. Honestly it felt like a targeted hit, like that squirrel had been watching us set up. I'd go back to the park, but never with fancy snacks again.

That squirrel stealing the brie is classic. Read about a guy whose romantic beach dinner got raided by a seagull gang.
