Today, I was on the worst blind date ever, so I tried to secretly request an Uber to get out of there. My date then picked up his phone, receiving my request. Turns out he's an Uber driver and he was looking for a reason to get out of the date too. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got into an Uber, excited for the date I was going to. After about 20 minutes, I had a confused conversation with the driver, because it seemed like we were going to the wrong address. I checked the app, I'd booked a ride to my ex’s place out of habit. FML
Today, my Tinder date arranged an Uber to pick her up before we had even finished our appetizers. She was so bored she couldn't be bothered to stay for the whole meal. FML
Today, I met up on a blind date. He took a phone call one drink in and said he had to leave because he didn't know it was his buddy's birthday, and they were having a party without him. I offered to split the bill and put out a $20. He got up, unlocked the bicycle behind us and rode off. FML
Today, my Uber driver tried to detour my trip home to take me on a date to Waffle House, even after I showed zero interest and talked about my boyfriend non-stop. FML
Today, I went on a blind date. My date spent the whole time at the restaurant on his phone and didn't even try to show interest. Thankfully I'll never have to deal with this individual ever again. FML

Today, I went on a blind date. As soon as my date saw me walking towards him, he checked his watch and said, "Oops, wrong place." Then walked right past me. FML
Today, I went on a blind date. Sadly, I wasn't blind enough. FML
Today, I went on a blind date. When I arrived, the guy looked nothing like his profile picture. We started chatting, and things were going fine until he asked, “So, what do you think about my date?” I replied, “Uh, I think it’s going well!” He responded, “I was talking about the waitress. I’m married.” FML
Today, I was getting into a Uber after a long day at work. I opened the door, sat down, and started venting to the driver about my horrible day. Five minutes in, I realized I had climbed into a random stranger’s car. He didn’t even tell me; he just let me complain. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How were you so far into the date that you hated it, but not far enough to ask what the dude did for a living?

Most Uber drivers aren’t solely Uber drivers. That’s more of a side job.

Please let us know how it ended! If he was wanting to leave too, did y’all agree to just go ahead and end it and leave?

Ghosting is such a shitbag thing to do. YDI. Could have simply told him you arent feeling the connection or something and go your own way.

I didnt say he was any better, they are both shitbags for trying to ghost

I'm thinking YDI. He deserved it too. If they don't want each other, maybe they both deserve better.

Or maybe they deserve each other since they're both kinda shitty like that.

You both need to learn to communicate

Somehow it seems that both of you have the same emotional defense mechanism. But anyway.. I wish you the best in finding the right one for you! Cheers!
