Have you ever been on a blind date that was so freakin' awful that you wanted to sue someone over it? A group of women who each paid $1,500 to meet the man of their dreams via the matchmaking service It's Just Lunch (you know, the one that always advertises in the back of in-flight magazines) are suing the company for their broken hearts.

Apparently the matchmakers at It's Just Lunch completely disregarded the women's preferences in an attempt to meet their monthly quota. One woman requested no Republicans and no religious types and was set up with a Catholic Republican and then a Seventh-day Adventist. Another was introduced to a "landscaping executive" who turned out to mow lawns for a living. A third was sent a married man. They all expected a little more sensitivity from a company that was founded by a woman who was jilted by her fiancé mere weeks before her own wedding.

Em once went on a blind date with a guy who announced upon his arrival that his mom had picked out his hat and outfit for the occasion. He also liked to make up his own jokes.
Unfortunately he was a computer programmer by trade, not a comic. He said, "I'm working on a fish series right now" and proceeded to tell her approximately 25 fish-related jokes, such as, "Why did the fish go to confession? Because it felt gill-ty." He kept asking her to tell one of her own and she kept demurring, insisting that joke-telling wasn't really her forte. When she finally gave in and told the only joke she could recall, which was at least ten times funnier than anything he'd shared, he was like, "Yeah, I guess jokes really aren't your thing." She remarked at one point during the dinner that he was kind of "intense." "Yeah, like camping, bwahahahahahah!!" he replied. "Get it?! In tents!!" So, what's the worst blind date you've ever been on?

Type the characters you see in the picture above.

In one sense, revenge sex—when you sleep with your ex's nemesis, roommate, sibling, parent, or pet in order to pay them back for dumping you--totally works: how could your ex not be grossed out / horrified / disillusioned / damaged for life? But unless your ex is a few peas short of a casserole, your cunning plan is sure to backfire, because they'll know exactly why you slept with their paste-eating dork of a sibling, and the most overwhelming emotion they will feel is deep, abiding pity for you.
