Grrr.......
 

Okay, I am just being crabby, so please excuse me. My semi-formal is currently taking place. So why am I home? Well, we had to leave early because my boyfriend had a "house obligation" at 11:00. Grrr....

I keep asking myself -why am I home on Saturday night-cause I fell asleep and am now to freaking lazy to get ready to go out, plus it is cold outside (anything below 80 degrees is cold to me) plus everyone is in Dallas at the UT/colorado big 12 championship-Colorado won-go Buffalos!!! (I know I should be supporting the team from Texas but when it comes to UT I just can't do that)

Sorry to hear about your frustrations. What kind of obligation occurs on a Sat. night???

Ack, I'm sorry, I had to miss my own pledge formal a few weeks ago b/c my date got LOST and showed up three hours late (!!!!). What a waste of a shiny twirly dress. :p

Me, I kinda like a relaxing Saturday night by myself, vegetating and doing whatever, every once in a while. Like tonight. :)

Here is an instant cure for the boyfriend blues...

1) Hot bubble bath

2) Candle light

3) Relaxing music

4) Good book or movie (your choice)

I know how it goes...you can tell him that lil snakey k says flowers are required!!!

Greek Love,

Lil Snakey K

You just didn't stay? I've had events where my dates had to go to bed early for whatever reason, but I continued on to hang out with my sisters. I made a vow early on in my college career that I wouldn't stay in on a weekend night for the sole reason being a male. So far, it's stuck!

amen
 

enjoy the comraderie..the mood..
mmcat

:D

aggieAXO-I was watching the game on TV. I was rooting for Texas but just because OU hates them so much and I hate OU!:p

Re: Grrr.......
 

Ladies, if we do something like this, please stay, we won't mind and you aren't really doing us a favor by going home ane being unhappy . . . Sorry DeltaBetaBaby that is really beat :P

Re: Re: Grrr.......
 

I thought about staying, but everyone was really coupled up, so I probably would have been even crabbier.

That sucks. Sorry to hear that. I agree. you should have stayed and just enjoyed the experience with your sisters. You shouldnt let a guy ruin your night. Even though thats easy for me to say.

Hey sweetie, don't feel too bad. I posted this on another thread, but I had to leave my initiation formal early becase my date told his GIRLFRIEND he would drop by around 11!!!!

Yeah, that is obviously much worse. My freshman year, my date left me at my formal while I was in the ladies room.

HA! I have you ALL beat! It's a long story, but WOW! what an ending! I still have trouble believing that a guy could be so awful.

This is the story of my junior year formal. Worst date of my entire life. Here's the rundown...

We were going up to Jacksonville from Gainesville (Florida) on buses (about a 1.5 hour trip), then getting on a boat and going up the river for a dinner and dancing cruise.

The date was sort-of a setup. I was recently single and needed a date 2 weeks before the formal. I had met "S" before (real names omitted to protect the guilty, even though they don't deserve it) at his fraternity's philanthropy. Had even gone out with him and a big group of my sisters and his brothers. One of my sisters was taking another XYZ and wanted me to bring S so it would be more comfortable. I gave in because at that point, I thought S seemed smart and nice. Boy was I WRONG! :p

S was the president of XYZ and I was our social chair. I was working on scheduling an event with their house and thought it would be good to go with him. Good PR, yada yada yada. If I only knew!

When S showed up at my sorority house he was WASTED. I didn't notice because I was so flustered - had gotten ready in 45 minutes for a formal because I had late class. Even put my hair up, yeah! :D Anyway, as soon as we're on the bus, I realize he is completely drunk. Mind you, it's not even 5 pm yet. He proceeds to tell me that he has no expectations tonight and he's not here just to hook up with me. Then he whips a flask out of his jacket, takes a swig, tells me it's Rumpelmintz, and says to me "Minty, so my breath smells nice!" and leers at me. EWWWWW! :eek:

Basically, the next hour or so is pure H***. He spills Coke on my dress, and doesn't apologize. "A", my little sister and best friend was sitting in front of us with her boyfriend - S had lived in her hometown for a couple years. He kept reaching around the seat to pat her arm. WEIRD. Kept telling her she looked "really pretty" and that she'd really "grown up nicely since high school." Then he started saying insulting things about A's boyfriend. I tell him to be quiet because A's boyfriend is one of my friends too. He says ok but doesn't apologize for the rude comments.

He spills more Coke on me, this time in my hair. Apology? Of course not! He throws his arm around me and gives me a bear hug. OUCH! S is a huge guy - over 6'6" and looks like an offensive lineman. No apology. Tries to play with my hair and just pulls it. OUCH again. No apology. Manages to smear a piece of chocolate on my dress. No apology. Just tries to hug me again. Hello, I need air ok? OUCH!

Oh yeah, spilled coke on me AGAIN (down the front of my dress) Wacked me in the head trying to wave at his brother sitting across the aisle. You take your guesses on how many apologies I got.

Then he oh-so-graciously announces, "I gotta piss!" and heads off to the bathroom in the back of the bus. I'm cold (chilly AC on bus) so I get a blanket out of my bag and wrap it around myself. I sigh in relief at S's temporary absence and moan to A about how horrible this date is so far.

Little did I know, it was about to get worse. :( Much worse...

I hear laughter coming from the back of the bus. Then I hear S yelling "help! Let me out! I'm trapped!" He was so drunk he couldn't figure out how to unlock the door. Someone's boyfriend started yelling instructions "You have to TURN the LATCH! on the HANDLE!" but S just kept yelling and banging on the door, getting more and more hysterical. Finally, he managed to escape. :rolleyes: The ENTIRE bus is laughing at him as he walks back to my seat. I don't say anything, just give a halfhearted little smile/smirk.

He sits down on top of the blanket I wrapped around myself. I can't move so I ask him to get up so I can free the blanket. He says "oooh a blanket" and grabs the edge and yanks. Now I CAN'T BREATHE because the blanket is caught around my neck. So I start beating on his arm with the only hand I can move. Thankfully S realizes and lets go of the blanket.

He mutters, "I'm tired" so I say "take a nap then!" I look out the window and plot how I'm going to dance with him just once so I'm not rude, then fake a bad headache and hide in the bathroom or sit with our house mom the rest of the night. :(

Then...

I hear S coughing.

I smell mint...and something else.

The something else is NOT good.

S was VOMITING ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! :eek:

Not to be too explicit with the details, but suffice to say, I saw the laws of physics defied. It was EVERYWHERE. Thankfully I was safe because of the blanket. One of my sisters was not so lucky. Back of her dress got in the line of fire.

So then S starts sobbing hysterically. There is something just awful about seeing a guy that big totally break down. I was just in shock about everything that was happening.

Finally I pull my self together and stand up (with a VERY firm grip on that blanket, my protector) and yell "does ANYONE have any paper towels? I need some RIGHT NOW!" Someone passes them from the front of the bus. I hand them to S and tell him to clean himself up. He is still sobbing and won't listen to me. I finally shove the paper towel roll in his hands.

Then I REALLY wanted to move. I mean, who wants to sit next to a huge hysterical drunk guy who's covered in you-know-what? So the sister sitting behind me and her date pull me over the back of my seat. I let the blanket fall and go sit at an empty seat further in the back of the bus. Then I just cried for awhile, my sisters are all trying to say comforting things and their dates are offering to exact revenge.

S's brother that was on the trip started calling brothers on his cell phone. Finally reached one that was willing to come up to Jacksonville to get S. We were only 15 minutes away at that point.

S's brother comes back to talk to me and says that he's really sorry and he'll have S apologize. I calmly tell him that there is NOTHING that S can say that will excuse this behavior, much less explain it and therefore there is NOTHING that I want to hear from him. Furthermore, if he contacts me EVER, I will call the police and then sue him for harassment. I was understandably a little bit upset at this point, and I said all this REALLY loud. Some of my sisters cheered. I know S heard me.

So we get to Jacksonville and get out of the buses. I go with my sisters to stand by our other bus and S just stands by our bus with his brother. I don't smoke, but one of the dates (this guy that was a friend to several girls in the house) offered me a cigarette, and I took it. I can say that I understand why all you smokers say that you NEED a cigarette!

So I got on the boat by myself, the only girl without a date. :( I still had a decent time though - danced my tail off by myself or with the guys that came with my sisters as friends.

Needless to say, I cancelled all plans to do any socials with XYZ after that! We never did anything with them the rest of the time I was active.

I did get a little revenge...even though UF is a huge school (45,000+), the Greek community seems pretty small. The rumors got around pretty fast that some guy had puked on the bus at our formal. I made sure to tell just enough people (i.e. gossipy people in other houses) that it was S____ ____, the president of XYZ. I had a friend in the sorority that was doing homecoming with XYZ, and told her everything. She told me later that during their first party (which was at the XYZ house), S had come out and tried to hit on some of the girls, but every time he introduced himself, they'd say "Ohmygod! You're the one that puked on himself at the Alpha Xi formal!" After a little while of that, he just retreated to his room for the rest of the week.

Ok, so maybe it's not nice to sabotage a guy's dating life, but who the heck shows up at a sorority house for a formal completely wasted at 4 in the afternoon? Especially when that guy is the PRESIDENT and supposed to represent his house? And I'm not even talking about all the rest of the a**hole stuff he did.

If anyone can beat this story, then well, I am SO INCREDIBLY SORRY! I wouldn't wish that on anybody!

Oh my GOD. :eek:

That takes the "Worst Date Ever" award, hands down. Even beats the time a guy sat around and watched anal porn during most of our (first, even) date (WTF?).

Geez, G8Ralphaxi, as far as I'm concerned you should get sainthood points for not trying to kill him. :)

G8Ralphaxi -I was laughing all the way through! What horror, what a...SMELL! OMG! Now, tell us the truth-Is this one of those incidents where everyone says, "One day, you'll look back on this and LAUGH!" Geez Louise!

eek eek
 

and minty no less...
blue ribbon for jerk of the year to s.
tee hee hee
mmcat
:eek:

So sorry to say but that story cracked my a$$ up (but i symphathize with you). You definitely deserve to win the disaster date award:D :D

WOW! I've never heard of anything so gross in all of my life! At least my bad formal date didn't show up drunk. He did however disappear for half of the formal to get high. :( What are these guys thinking?!!

Well I'm gonna take up for S. So what that he got smashed before 4. Sounds like a good time to me. He was just taking full advantage of the entire day. Kudos to him for good time management concerning his drinking. Why he was drinking anything pepermint is beyond me, but oh well. And that brings up another point, what was he doing drinking coke in the first place? Maybe I need to deduct some points from his scorecard for drinking non alcoholic beverages.

Now the whole bathroom thing. Now thats comedy. I would have just kicked it down after the first 10 times of fidgiting with it. WABAM!!!!!! Nevermind that call for help you guys, I figured it out on my own.

I wish the guy had made it to your formal, now that would have been a good story.

None the less, sorry that he disrespected you.

Oh I forgot part of the story!!! Not only did he have that flask of Rumpelmintz (for that minty fresh feeling :rolleyes:), he ALSO had a flask of rum in another jacket pocket. That's what he was drinking with the coke.

I had tried to say a couple times, "Haven't you had enough?" but he just laughed at me and would keep drinking. Or he'd say Ok and put it away, but then as soon as I turned around, pull it right back out. Like he was all sneaky or something.

Memo to S: You are a SIX AND A HALF FOOT GUY sitting RIGHT NEXT TO ME. Plus you are OUT OF YOUR HEAD DRUNK. Anything you do, I'm probably going to see! Not winning any points for being slick, that's for sure.

Whoa...this is unbelievable. That's absolutely CRAZY! :eek: That's far far worse than my date telling me, "well, if you want to go out, I suggest you take your own car...":rolleyes: Did I mention he made me pay for dinner? :eek: Not just dutch, ALL OF IT!

Glad to know that the date trauma isn't limited to me!

Got to go with KA on that one . . . What are the odds that such an experienced drinker would get sick like that . . . just badd luck.

Just a blind date gone wrong . . .

Bad that he ruined your formal like that, but he gave you a great story . . . and look at the revenge you got! He caused you a few hours of inconvenience, and you managed to cock block him and ruin his reputation for years!

Yes she did. Hell hath no fury...........???????????

OMG!!! And I thought that I have had some bad dates before. NOTHING compares to that guy!! I am sooo sorry girl!

Nicholi

when i was a junior in high school I asked this guy in my history class to my drill team formal, we were really good friends and i kind of thought he was cute. Anyway he said yes and i was really excited. The day of the formal, i go out and get my hair done, makeup, and even had my dress altered. I also had to call him to give him directions to my house but everytime i would call his house i wouldnt get an answer. So i called a mutual friend of ours which was also going to the formal and asked him what was up. He didnt know what was happening, and tried calling him too. Ends up he didnt get a hold of him, so around 5pm i start getting very nervous and upset. He never called me nor did i ever get a hold of him. I was dressed and ready to go.... a bunch of my friends told me they were going to swing by my house with their dates to pick me up anyway but i didnt want to. Everyone going had dates and i didnt want to be the only one there alone so i sat at home and pretty much cried the whole night. On monday i was so pissed at him, i didnt want to even look at him, so he "wrote" me a letter saying his parents grounded him the night before and didnt let him go to the formal, and he already had his tux and everything. His parents didnt even let him use the phone to call me:mad: which i thought was bizarre. Our friendship was never the same after that!
