What are the most common horror stories from BuzzFeed First Date?

One of the memorable ones is when the date was constantly on their phone. They were texting and checking social media throughout the whole time. It made the other person feel unimportant.

Misrepresentation is a common one. Like when someone lies about their job or appearance. For example, saying they are a successful entrepreneur when they are actually unemployed, or using a really old and flattering photo on their dating profile.

I heard about a first date where the guy brought his mother along without telling the girl. It was supposed to be a romantic dinner for two, but then his mother started asking all kinds of personal questions, like when they were planning to get married and how many kids they wanted. It was so awkward and ruined the whole date experience for the girl.

One horror story could be that the person showed up two hours late without any apology. It just made the whole start really awkward and set a bad tone for the date.

One memorable horror story is when a girl went in for a first kiss with a boy at a party. Just as their lips met, the boy accidentally knocked over a full glass of red wine that was on a nearby table. The wine spilled all over the girl's white dress, ruining the moment and making her look like she had been in a fight.

Many online first date horror stories revolve around false expectations. If someone has built themselves up to be this super confident and successful person online, but in reality they are shy and insecure. It creates an awkward situation. Also, there are those who keep checking their phone constantly during the date, as if they are waiting for a better offer. And some dates turn bad when there's a political or religious argument out of nowhere.

Food contamination is quite common. Like the time when someone found a piece of plastic in their soup. It was a real shock for the diner.

One common one is bad haircuts. People see a trendy haircut on BuzzFeed and go to their stylist. But the stylist either misinterprets it or doesn't have the skills to pull it off. Another is makeup disasters like the wrong foundation shade that makes you look like a ghost or a clown. And then there are skin problems from using products that are not suitable for your skin type, like a super - drying face wash for people with dry skin.

One common story is about roommates who don't respect personal space. They might go through your stuff or barge into your room without knocking. It's really uncomfortable and makes you feel like you have no privacy at all.

Another common horror story is workplace bullying. A new hire might be constantly picked on by colleagues. They might be excluded from team meetings or given false information on purpose, just to make their work difficult. This creates a really hostile work environment that's hard to thrive in.
