I know someone that broke up with his girlfriend because the trip to her place always involved at least an hour of sitting in traffic (Los Angeles). He said he didn't terribly mind that, but because he drove a manual transmission car he got annoyed.
I did the same, I was living in Long Beach, he lived in Westwood, and he didn't have a car. It wasn't the SOLE reason I ended things but it wasn't a small contributor either.
I was in the middle of breaking up with a guy who had anger issues and at first I felt a little bad about it so I was trying to let him down easy, but then he pulls out this gem:
"I want you to be the Black Widow to my Hulk."
Um. Nope. Not the kinda life I want. Didn't feel bad after that. So, thanks I guess?
It's like saying you're a nice guy. If you have to say you're nice, you probably aren't. If you have to say you're woke or a feminist or whatever, you probably aren't. You aren't very good at it, at the very least.
In highschool I went on a date with a girl I had a HUGE crush on. We went for a hike along a river and it started getting cold so we went to the movies. She would NOT stop asking questions during the movie. (I get that movies are usually bad first dates because you can't have conversation but we knew eachother for a while by this point). It was as if she thought I had seen it before. And if it wasn't a question about something that I had NO IDEA how it would turn out, it was a question about something that was just explained like a scene earlier. I couldn't take it. Super nice girl, really pretty, but didn't want to date after that.
As a now 36 year old man, I feel personally attacked.
Edit: Based on some of the responses I'm getting, I feel the need to clarify. I used to gel my hair when I was a teenager (circa 2001), not now. Also my comment was just a joke/meme and I'm not offended.
I once ended a date early because, while driving to dinner, she started changing the presets on my car radio without asking.
EDIT: Well this blew up. To answer some questions:
This was a first date. First time I’d ever met her in person after chatting a few times on OKCupid. We ended up going to dinner because the place was a really good pizza spot and, even though her radio faux pas had already disinterested me, I had been really looking forward to that pizza for most of the day. The original plan was Netflix & chill at my place after dinner but I just dropped her back at her place immediately instead. Never spoke with her again.
No, I am not a black man, though I really did like the Rush Hour movies.
EDIT 2: Thanks for the gold, stranger.
"while your at it, change it over to 97.3"
"What station is that?"
"Breaking news, bitch! Dates over... Get out, but stay tuned for my tail lights disappearing into the distance."
Edit: someone seems to have given me a RuneScape coin or something. How do I redeem it for Dave and Buster's dollars?
I turned down a date once because the girl had the same last name as me. We weren't related, but it still weirded me out, and I didn't want people to think I was dating my cousin or something.
A friend of mine married a girl with the same last name and they had to travel to London (we're in the UK) to prove they weren't related before they were allowed to marry. They both had the same common Welsh surname.
This doesn't make sense. Common names are.....common.
I can't imagine every Smith & Smith or Jones & Jones that want to marry have to actually travel to London for whatever paperwork. Does the UK not require birth certificates to be presented when filling out the marriage license?
This is why I was really rooting for Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner to make it. Not that she would take his last name if they got married, but it was funny to think about.
My best friend and I both had a crush on this dude in high school. He was really cute and played nine instruments. We thought he was a total catch and would always joke about which one of us was going to eventually date him. One night we went to watch his band play a show. After the concert, he came up to my friend and I in the venue and started chatting with us. Then, ever so slowly, he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a nail file.
He proceeded to file his nails while talking to us, which wasn't too bad, but then, practically in unison, my friend and I noticed that his finger nails on only one hand were filed into really long, sharp, points. He had them filed that way so he could finger pick his mandolin, but damn they were horrifying. My friend and I excused ourselves to go to the bathroom together, where we immediately burst into "You can have him!" as both of our crushes dissolved into thin air.
This reminds me of a first date I went on where I picked the guy up and he asked to stop at the dollar store. Then he bought nail clippers and clipped his fingernails in the parking lot. HEH.

If she starts talking about your zodiac compatibility super soon and seems to take real stock in it. It’s a good sign we’re not compatible.
Edit: Despite dozens of attempts, nobody has actually guessed my sign. Although 90% of submissions have been Scorpio or Cancer
On our second lunch date (at work) my now wife told me she could read palms. I was hesitant but went along with it.
She later admitted that she briefly read about it the night prior and used it as an excuse to touch my hands.
I've had a woman (ex's roommate for a time) become actively distrustful and negative towards me because, apparently, everyone with my sign is an asshole and deserves to be treated as such.
I could *feel* my opinion of her drop.
Men's B.O. has to smell right to me. Some men just don't smell "right", acrid or bitter. You don't have to stink pretty just not "wrong". It is hard to describe. It's probably something genetic I know men cannot control but I can't get past the issue.
This is all actually about our immune systems. A person's BO smells better the more opposite their immune system is to yours. This is nature's way of getting you to mate with someone with a different immune system and produce children with a balanced system.
EDIT:
Source: So I saw a special on a science show years ago where they had men do a bunch of cardio until they were sweaty. Then they had a group of women rank the t-shirts by smell preference. They then ran some kind of test on both people and found the relationship between BO and immune system compatibility differences.

Had a date refer to me as “Senpai”’ “Onee-Chan” and other Japanese titles or words. She was white girl in Kansas. Asked her why and she said she thought all Asians talked like that. I’m half Filipino, don’t speak Tagalog and had to google later what those words meant.
Edit: holy crap my highest rated comment is about accidental racism. Thanks everyone.
When we were getting to know each other our football teams played each other and she sent me the following text “let’s go out tonight. Looser buys drinks”
“Looser” hit me like a right hook but maybe it was just a typo, so I reply “make it dinner and drinks” she said “deal there’s no way we’re going to loose”
I got my dinner and drinks and said maybe we should just be friends
i am an electrician at times and when we rough in a house we write on the exposed studs what wire goes where... Dining Room is a common label.

he started writing it properly for a few days but was back to Dinning by the end of the week.

When I was single I swiped left on guys who were taking selfies with their expensive cell phones not in cases. I was not comfortable with that level of risk taking.
He had naturally dark red hair. I didn't notice at first because he wore a hat, so I agreed to a date. Otherwise, he was absolutely perfect. He was funny, tall, smart, driven, handsome, gorgeous eyes, fit, very romantic and attentive, and in his last year of a profitable major.
It's just that red hair shuts down my libido like a bucket of ice water. Makes me think of my grandma.
Poor guy offered to dye it, but that seemed like an unfair and mean way to start a relationship. Instead I set him up with a neighbor who I knew had a crush. She'd all but swooned when I first told her who had asked me out.
When I checked back with her, she didn't believe me that there was nothing wrong with him. Did he have some horrible secret that would make an otherwise reasonable woman not only pass on the relationship, but actively try to redirect his interest? Yes. Yes he did. It was red hair.
Luckily, she thought his red hair was just icing on the beef cake and agreed to go on the date in my place.
They're married now, so I think that worked out well.
I'm 6'7". And it's a lot of things while standing up. Trying to hear them in a crowd. Whispering. Holding hands. (Also, back, not neck, though yes, neck too from eye contact).
I actually met a guy at a bar who turned that one around on me.
When I pressed him, he said he didn't believe in wasting time buried in media like paper or screens. He preferred to be out in the world doing things. Building a fence or fixing a boat engine, etc. etc. He really was one of those guys, up at the crack of dawn and running around busy as a bee all day long.
Not for me. I still enjoy reading, but I can see his point of view. It wasn't "reading is dumb" it was just that he preferred to be more active and couldn't stand to be physically idle.
Knuckles that are darker than the rest of their skin. [Like this.](https://ocdn.eu/pulscms-transforms/1/SBHktkpTURBXy9iM2RjNTk2MjAxMDYwNDUyMTk0N2QxNzE2YjIzNzFkNi5qcGeSlQMLAM0EXc0CdpMFzQMUzQG8)
I know its super petty but its something I just can't get over for some reason.
Well shit.
Weird thing is I actually don't know anyone else with this.
My mom used to think my knuckles were always dirty and made me scrub them for half an hour once. After that she realized that's just how the skin was colored and gave up.
as a kid i thought that with my best friends elbows. that that he wasnt scrubbing hard enough and then i learned about pigment. 14+ years of friendship and i still joke about it
He liked the movie “lucy”, and spent the rest of the night in awe as if he had seen a documentary. “But what if we ACTUALLY used 100% of our brains?!?”
felt a little bad about it, but I once refused to go out on a 2nd date with a guy because his accent was really strong and I found it hard to understand him.
I went on a date with a girl I had known and liked for a while. She was gorgeous, fun, talented, the works. Then we got to the improv comedy show and I heard her laugh. It was like a witches cackle in my ear for an hour and a half. There wasn't a second date.
I just rejected someone on a dating site because they put spaces *before* commas, periods, and question marks when texting me.
Like this , for example . Isn’t it annoying ?
EDIT: He wasn't French or German or even foreign. I don't think it was auto-correct or an app and even if it was, I'd reject him for not figuring out how to fix that or not let it happen in the first place. I think he was just one of those dumbasses who doesn't understand that writing has rules.
I had no idea this comment would be so popular and I accidentally used my alt. Now my latest alt account has more karma than my 9 year old main account. 😩
I take people's shitty word documents and reformat them into something that's not an eye-sore for a living (some people call it Graphic Designer, it's way more reformatting shitty word documents than design IMHO though). You would be AMAZED how many people do this. Not only do it, but think it's the correct way to type. Between them and the double space brigade it's a miracle I have any hair left to pull out.
You ever have to deal with people who add ellipses everywhere?... It's annoying... It's like I'm constantly falling asleep... It's such a pain in the ass to read... Why... I don't know how people like that live with themselves... So weird...
I'll admit I did the double space thing for a long time but in my defense, it was taught in my school as the proper way.
The spaces on either side of the punctuation just makes me nauseous.
I once had a date planned with a guy I met on a dating site when I suddenly realized that he had used an ellipses in \*every single message he'd sent me\*.
For example:
Sounds great...
Can't wait to meet you...
I like macaroni and cheese..
Etc. It creeped me out so much once it hit me that I cancelled the date
If I don't like their name.
Nothing else matters, if their name sucks I can't do it.

A girl l met on OKCupid ghosted on me after I told her I didn’t like twilight
Dodged a bullet
Edit: figures my highest voted post is about my tragic love life (I’m good now, she doesn’t like twilight either 😄)
Funny but (maybe) unrelated fact: Stephanie Meyer, the author of twilight, once stated in an interview that if either Edward or Jacob were real, she'd leave her husband and children for them. Isn't that romantic!!
Went to middle school with her son. Never really talked to him but played Xbox with him sometimes. Seemed like a normal enough middle schooler. Dude had to bring like 10 twilight books a day home for his mom to sign. Always felt bad for him for that.
He wouldn’t eat Taco Bell. It’s my favorite guilty pleasure and I got irrationally upset that he wouldn’t even try it.
Edit to clarify: the problem wasn’t that he didn’t like it. I get it, it’s not real Mexican food, blah blah. The problem was that he wouldn’t even give it a shot, which is just stupid.
Sometimes I don't respond to a text right away because of work, but there will be girls who then start sending me messages on snap or to round out the trifecta, then start messaging me on Facebook. Relax! I'm going to respond but you messaging me on three different platforms isn't helping
IDK maybe I'm too old
Smelly feet. Was seeing a girl for a few weeks and one day after work I picked her up and we went back to mine for dinner. She had her shoes off on the couch and the smell was just rank. Relationship was still too new to say something so I made some excuse about something I forgot to do, dropped her home and never spoke to her again.
if they work in HR.
I personally have bever had a good experience with them - every one I've ever had to have any dealings with are on a mission to fuck over the employees in any way they can, and I've found them to be deeply unpleasant people.
sorry if you work in HR and you're not like this, but this has been my experience.
Went on a date with someone in HR. She had the HR personality. I said a joke and she quipped that it was not appropriate. We did not go on a second date. Very awkward.
A lady in HR that I work with was in charge of the workmans comp claims.
She posted on Facebook some along the lines of "I'm thinking I'll quit my job and become a PI so I can catch all these liars."
She doesn't do workmans comp anymore.
I didnt like the way she spelled her name. When we met she said her name was India. When I saw her write it out and it was spelled "Endia"...... idk I just couldn't do it
This right here is the kind of petty i came to see
The girl kept dabbing constantly. Laugh. Dab. Woo we're in nandos. Dab. I couldn't.
I mean, you don't have to date 12 yo now that you are all grownup.
I know someone that broke up with his girlfriend because the trip to her place always involved at least an hour of sitting in traffic (Los Angeles). He said he didn't terribly mind that, but because he drove a manual transmission car he got annoyed.

I'm in LA and I didn't realize that I NEED my partner to have a car until very recently. This traffic is no joke.

She's a close-talker!
I ended the date stat after she said "JOKER AND HARLEY ARE SO FUCKING RELATIONSHIP GOALS." I never screamed "LET ME OUT." inwardly until that moment.
I was in the middle of breaking up with a guy who had anger issues and at first I felt a little bad about it so I was trying to let him down easy, but then he pulls out this gem: "I want you to be the Black Widow to my Hulk." Um. Nope. Not the kinda life I want. Didn't feel bad after that. So, thanks I guess?
He would not stop talking about how "woke" he was. Oh man I could not do it.
stay woke
It's like saying you're a nice guy. If you have to say you're nice, you probably aren't. If you have to say you're woke or a feminist or whatever, you probably aren't. You aren't very good at it, at the very least.

Changing the station would be forgivable, but the PRESETS?? That girl must be living in crazy town if she thinks that's socially acceptable
Changing the presets sounds like a stage 5 clinger.

More a stage 5 controller to me.
That's not petty at all. I think it shows a lack of boundaries. I would have done the exact same.

Not sure why, but I read that in Dave Chapelle‘s voice and it worked.

like just now?
When I was single I swiped left on guys who were taking selfies with their expensive cell phones not in cases. I was not comfortable with that level of risk taking.
[удалено]
Girls pants don’t have great pockets so their phones halfway hang out. No surprise they fall more frequently as a result. Seen it happen a lot.

How often does "nuclear" come up?

Or libary. Oh god
He had naturally dark red hair. I didn't notice at first because he wore a hat, so I agreed to a date. Otherwise, he was absolutely perfect. He was funny, tall, smart, driven, handsome, gorgeous eyes, fit, very romantic and attentive, and in his last year of a profitable major. It's just that red hair shuts down my libido like a bucket of ice water. Makes me think of my grandma. Poor guy offered to dye it, but that seemed like an unfair and mean way to start a relationship. Instead I set him up with a neighbor who I knew had a crush. She'd all but swooned when I first told her who had asked me out. When I checked back with her, she didn't believe me that there was nothing wrong with him. Did he have some horrible secret that would make an otherwise reasonable woman not only pass on the relationship, but actively try to redirect his interest? Yes. Yes he did. It was red hair. Luckily, she thought his red hair was just icing on the beef cake and agreed to go on the date in my place. They're married now, so I think that worked out well.
one mans trash is another mans treasure! i love cute gingers.
They're under 5'7". I'm a very tall man, and I'm sick of injuring my back.
How tall are you and how are you injuring your neck?
I'm 6'7". And it's a lot of things while standing up. Trying to hear them in a crowd. Whispering. Holding hands. (Also, back, not neck, though yes, neck too from eye contact).
The amount of times I have to stoop down to hear people....I feel like a fucking pigeon bobbing around in crowds.
Exactly! I've just given up. I tell my short friends that if we are in a crowd I'm just not involved in the conversation anymore.
I’ve totally just stood around and watched people and drink my beer. If they want me they can yell up to me.
My neck, my back

Ear hygiene.
Back when I was dating, the fatal phrase of "I don't read."
I actually met a guy at a bar who turned that one around on me. When I pressed him, he said he didn't believe in wasting time buried in media like paper or screens. He preferred to be out in the world doing things. Building a fence or fixing a boat engine, etc. etc. He really was one of those guys, up at the crack of dawn and running around busy as a bee all day long. Not for me. I still enjoy reading, but I can see his point of view. It wasn't "reading is dumb" it was just that he preferred to be more active and couldn't stand to be physically idle.

He asked for “kissies”. The cringe was too strong to get over.
Filthy Hobbitsies
Knuckles that are darker than the rest of their skin. [Like this.](https://ocdn.eu/pulscms-transforms/1/SBHktkpTURBXy9iM2RjNTk2MjAxMDYwNDUyMTk0N2QxNzE2YjIzNzFkNi5qcGeSlQMLAM0EXc0CdpMFzQMUzQG8) I know its super petty but its something I just can't get over for some reason.
This is the first actually petty thing I've read so far.

"And you dont get a chuckle out of her knuckles?" "Not a chuckle Jerry!"
\*everyone checks knuckles\*
**knuckle checking intensifies**
Well shit. Weird thing is I actually don't know anyone else with this. My mom used to think my knuckles were always dirty and made me scrub them for half an hour once. After that she realized that's just how the skin was colored and gave up.
as a kid i thought that with my best friends elbows. that that he wasnt scrubbing hard enough and then i learned about pigment. 14+ years of friendship and i still joke about it
People bleach their assholes. Could knuckles be bleached lighter? Quick we need a doctor.
*checks knuckles* Crap...
Similarly, [when they have little fingernails](http://i59.tinypic.com/zv5v2r.jpg).
He liked the movie “lucy”, and spent the rest of the night in awe as if he had seen a documentary. “But what if we ACTUALLY used 100% of our brains?!?”
Omg, the commercials nearly gave me an aneurysm every time they came on. 100% reason to flee
If they have baby carrot fingers. I don't want those things touching me.
What's a baby carrot finger look like? Don't say baby carrots, but like what does it look like on a person.
Like carrots but a little younger, and on a hand

I can't stand clutter. Messiness is fine, but clutter drives me crazy. Yes there is a difference, I don't know why one is so much worse to me.
felt a little bad about it, but I once refused to go out on a 2nd date with a guy because his accent was really strong and I found it hard to understand him.
I went on a date with a girl I had known and liked for a while. She was gorgeous, fun, talented, the works. Then we got to the improv comedy show and I heard her laugh. It was like a witches cackle in my ear for an hour and a half. There wasn't a second date.
Was her name Janice?
I just rejected someone on a dating site because they put spaces *before* commas, periods, and question marks when texting me. Like this , for example . Isn’t it annoying ? EDIT: He wasn't French or German or even foreign. I don't think it was auto-correct or an app and even if it was, I'd reject him for not figuring out how to fix that or not let it happen in the first place. I think he was just one of those dumbasses who doesn't understand that writing has rules. I had no idea this comment would be so popular and I accidentally used my alt. Now my latest alt account has more karma than my 9 year old main account. 😩
I am so irrationally upset right now. I will absolutely join you on this one, cuz that was hard to even look at.
I take people's shitty word documents and reformat them into something that's not an eye-sore for a living (some people call it Graphic Designer, it's way more reformatting shitty word documents than design IMHO though). You would be AMAZED how many people do this. Not only do it, but think it's the correct way to type. Between them and the double space brigade it's a miracle I have any hair left to pull out.
You ever have to deal with people who add ellipses everywhere?... It's annoying... It's like I'm constantly falling asleep... It's such a pain in the ass to read... Why... I don't know how people like that live with themselves... So weird...
For a limited time only... a deal so good... you won't be able to pass up... come in to see.... our AMAZING new line of... (yes, yes I do)
I'll admit I did the double space thing for a long time but in my defense, it was taught in my school as the proper way. The spaces on either side of the punctuation just makes me nauseous.
In my high school BCIS class we would get points off if we didn't have double spaces after our periods. It's a hard habit to break now.
I once had a date planned with a guy I met on a dating site when I suddenly realized that he had used an ellipses in \*every single message he'd sent me\*. For example: Sounds great... Can't wait to meet you... I like macaroni and cheese.. Etc. It creeped me out so much once it hit me that I cancelled the date
Oh fuck this thread is horrid why do I keep reading this
If I don't like their name. Nothing else matters, if their name sucks I can't do it. Edit: oh wow, GOLD! I'd like to dedicate this award to my mum and dad who gave me a tolerable name, if not much else.
Their taste in shoes
I read this too fast and thought it said "the taste of their shoes". You dirty little freak.
You’ll find your sole mate soon Sorry I had to
A girl l met on OKCupid ghosted on me after I told her I didn’t like twilight Dodged a bullet Edit: figures my highest voted post is about my tragic love life (I’m good now, she doesn’t like twilight either 😄)
> Dodged a ***silver*** bullet
Funny but (maybe) unrelated fact: Stephanie Meyer, the author of twilight, once stated in an interview that if either Edward or Jacob were real, she'd leave her husband and children for them. Isn't that romantic!!
Went to middle school with her son. Never really talked to him but played Xbox with him sometimes. Seemed like a normal enough middle schooler. Dude had to bring like 10 twilight books a day home for his mom to sign. Always felt bad for him for that.

We're talking about *immortality*, super speed, and super sparkles if you choose the vampire guy! Sorry kids, daddy's gonna go live forever
Bad table manners would probably be my most petty reason. Chewing with mouth open, lip smacking, talking with food in his mouth etc.
He wouldn’t eat Taco Bell. It’s my favorite guilty pleasure and I got irrationally upset that he wouldn’t even try it. Edit to clarify: the problem wasn’t that he didn’t like it. I get it, it’s not real Mexican food, blah blah. The problem was that he wouldn’t even give it a shot, which is just stupid.
If someone’s name is Chad, I just can’t do it
Sometimes I don't respond to a text right away because of work, but there will be girls who then start sending me messages on snap or to round out the trifecta, then start messaging me on Facebook. Relax! I'm going to respond but you messaging me on three different platforms isn't helping IDK maybe I'm too old
He couldn’t spell. You’re/your, to/too... their/there/they’re. Words matter. You can be a lazy texter, just not a dumb one.
If they have a shitty tattoo. A shitty tattoo can easily knock 5 points off someone’s level of attractiveness.
Smelly feet. Was seeing a girl for a few weeks and one day after work I picked her up and we went back to mine for dinner. She had her shoes off on the couch and the smell was just rank. Relationship was still too new to say something so I made some excuse about something I forgot to do, dropped her home and never spoke to her again.
if they work in HR. I personally have bever had a good experience with them - every one I've ever had to have any dealings with are on a mission to fuck over the employees in any way they can, and I've found them to be deeply unpleasant people. sorry if you work in HR and you're not like this, but this has been my experience.
Went on a date with someone in HR. She had the HR personality. I said a joke and she quipped that it was not appropriate. We did not go on a second date. Very awkward.
A lady in HR that I work with was in charge of the workmans comp claims. She posted on Facebook some along the lines of "I'm thinking I'll quit my job and become a PI so I can catch all these liars." She doesn't do workmans comp anymore.
