Epic Date Fail

[LADY-VIA]

That's a date blunder not a date fail, I would have been laughing & if I was your date, I would have crawled through for you, as it might have been easier for me to wiggle through ! You would have had to make it up to me . HA!

Have to keep the lemonade flowing when life's a barrel of lemons

You tried, and I'm sure you apologized, she could have been a little more understanding,
The only fail, was her attitude.

Having locked myself out of my car numerous times,mi now keep a spare key in my wallet.

The trouble happens when I also lock my wallet in the car. Fortunately, that has not happened...yet.

Good to hear that you got her personality test out of the way early!
I thought that the crawl through the trunk route should have been worthy of at least a high-five...

To compare:
A few years back I met a visiting young Swiss woman while I was taking some pics on Whistler mountain. We hit it off, and later (insert ulterior motives here) gave her a quick local tour (Vanc-Whistler-Pemberton-Lillouet-Hope-Vanc) in my recently re-built 4x4, since she was too young to rent a car. Unfortunately the climb up to Duffy Lake set off some over-heat engine protection circuits in the "new" Chevy engine I had put in my Dodge. I apologized profusely, and offered to go with her and hitch a ride back to Whistler, and pay for her bus ride back to Vanc. She laughed it off, and said it was a normal problem on her father's car on the hills near Verbier, and was content to wait for it to cool. I wasn't, time was tight, so I collected water a few times from a stream nearby and poured it over the intake manifold until it cooled enough to start again. Again, I offered an immediate return, but again she laughed it off, and so on we went. She really wanted to see the interior desert near Lillouet.
Very, very nice person, easy to be with. She took lots of pics of the truck, the engine (!?), and the scenery, and then started jumping around through the tunes on the truck system USB, and was singing along for hours. We had a blast, then she went back to Switzerland to finish her University degree, and last text I got she had just delivered a baby girl an hour earlier (Not me. it was 1.5 years after she had gone back)...

You're lucky you don't drive a Benz. Was returning from Seattle recently and stopped in Fred's in Bellingham for some of my favorite granola and a jug of milk about 830PM. Dropped my car key (fob) in the trunk while re-arranging, slammed it and realized what I'd done. Since I hadn't opened the car doors yet, I was stone cold locked out. Called Benz, they got a tow truck who happened along at 11PM and who heroically managed to get my driver door open. That at least opened the possiblilty of a way out of this mess. I tried to pop the trunk and all I got was alarms. No way to flop down back seat for entry either. Scuppered. At least I got my house keys and passport from console.
Take a taxi to the border ($50US) Another taxi to my home and back to Bellingham ($175 or so). Home at 3am, chastened. Damn absentmindedness got me again. Consider yourself lucky and off cheap. :doh:

I'd just be like well its a sign we shouldn't be driving and lets go for a walk. make a positive out of a negative

 

[dchoye]

I usually carry the old fashion key with me as same thing happens to me once or twice a year when key Fob doesnt work.

As far as your date, probably not one you want to be with long term if she cant find any humor in simple mistakes.
I once had a date who changed a flat tire for me during middle of a date. She went beyond the call of duty!

Toyota key fobs usually contain a key which pulls out of it and opens the door. Don't the others? Take a hard look. Key fob batteries fail sometimes because conductive dust collects inside and shortens the battery. Take it apart and blow or wipe out all the dust

The only fail, was her attitude.

Best summation ever. :thumb:

 

[My man and I]

Tonight I finally get a chance to take a lady to dinner. Had a crush on her for a long time. Everything goes great. Driving home she wants to stop at Shopper's Drug Mart for a prescription. Come out and....cannot open my car.
Key fob is dead.
Key will not turn in the door locks.
WTF!!!!
Snowing like crazy. Cold wind. We're in a parking lot, no shelter. She is pissed.
Finally I open the trunk, climb in, pull the release to fold down the back seats, and wiggle through the opening, into the front seat, and open her door from the inside. Open driver door, slide out rear door and get in driver's seat. Not as easy as it sounds.
She gets in and says "Well that was odd" but I think what she wanted to say was "you are an idiot", and gives me a funny look.
She talked on her phone ll the way to her house. Got out and said thanks.

Moral: change battery in key fob before every date.

You lost me at "stop at shoppers drug mart for a perscription". That is it self is way to sully a mood. I find that highly unusual. Not really date type situation.

WW, my Mom says sorry about that. She was just annoyed because her ass hole was on fire and she was anxious to get home and apply the haemorrhoid cream you were kind enough to stop for her to pick up.
She said to drop by later and she'll make it up to you. If her dentures are sitting on the bedroom window sill, that means she's ready for you and to come right in.:thumb:

I JUST about spat coffee on my monitor, Mr Bodine!!

This should be in oneoldone's "Favourite fantasies" thread!

I have had a few epic date fail . And that happened in a very short period of time ..
My favorite one to try to for get ..would be my one and only valentine date.
I kind of planed this one on the sperm of the moment .. I asked her befor.. but then threw it to gether for a dinner and nightv at the motel ..
She was a little reluctant but I got her our for dinner at the blue crab..it was close to the motel I picked .
Then we went to the motel it was a little place on the victoria water front ..well the water was across the road..
I have to admit it was not a great place.. but quite.

I even bought her a small vibratory. .another no no ..
She loved the vibratory more them me.. then it went even farther south .
She suggested we have a bath together.. it was just can't 5 ft tube..she filled it with very hit water ..to hot for me..so I had to add more cold...and when I got in the tub it over flowed....great here I was naked trying to sock up the water befor it ran down to the suit below..and of course there were only 2 towel the ones we needed..
It kind of toke the mood off the whole think ..
She asked to be taken home early...
I try ed to have a few other impromptu dates with the lady .. and every one of them turned in to a fail... some thing all way went wrong or was not to her liking .

And I just have never dated any one in that was since I have just found it alot easier..seeing escorts...or taking friends I meet from the escort business .out ..with no expectation of a date...There are no chances to fail then.

 

[Tugela]

You do realize that shopper's drug Mart carries batteries for key fobs ... right?

That was probably why she was thinking he was an idiot! ound:

 

[Tugela]

I'm petite! I'd crawl through the thing and open it up for you while laughing. She sounds like an uptight bitch anyways.

But yes Badger, good one. ��

That is assuming she was having a good time to start with, she may have just been being polite, and the key incident was the last straw. It happens.
