Fork Off

Submitted by Nick:

I met Vicki on a train, on my way home from work. We were random commuters, sitting next to each other, but I struck up a conversation with her and she gave me her number. We had a lot to talk about, and it seemed promising.

She showed up twenty minutes late to our first date, at a restaurant, and didn't even apologize. That's a tough faux pas to overcome, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt.

She sat down and picked up a fork and said, "Ooh! Shiny!"

Just kidding around, I asked her, "Have you never seen a fork before?"

She threw the fork at my chest, really hard.  And it really, really hurt.

"What the hell?" I demanded, probably louder than I should have, but really, what the hell?

She shrank back into her seat and murmured, "Sorry.  It was just a joke."

"It's violent!  What were you thinking?"

She started to cry and wail, and several diners stared at us.  I slipped into damage control mode and planned to lean close to her, ask her to stop crying, and try and make things better.

Then, I remembered: bitch just threw a fork at me.  Hard.  Really hard.

I picked up my coat, said, "This was a bad idea," and left then and there.

  4. Not excusing the fork throw in any way, cause it was over the top, but you probably sounded douchey saying "have you never seen a fork before?". I think she was nervous and just trying for a laugh or she's a simpleton, either way... But still, total overreaction throwing the fork!

  5. Um, it's a fork. Unless she got out of her chair and into a full windup it's not going to "really, really hurt" When it's a knife or Nolan Ryan throwing, then you can complain.

  8. Anon 1:17, My little sister threw a fork at me once, it STUCK in the wall behind me. I could imagine it would really hurt.

    Personally I would have found the date inexcusable after having to wait for 20 min. But thats a pet peeve of mine!

  9. Good in a way he left. He doesn't know that as he dates / starts loving / marries her, she is slowly gonna bring out her other cutlery (knife, steak knife, large killer knife, tear-stained accusation knife, do-or-die knife, baby spoon)for the delicious meal of a man's heart with side-helpings of his income. This guy should live alone.
