We’ve all had our fair share of bad dates, but this one takes the cake! A woman (25F) thought she was in for a fun vacation with her new beau, Jake (25M), but things took a dark turn. After inviting him to join her in Seattle, she quickly realized that he had a serious drinking problem and a nasty temper. In a rollercoaster of events, she ultimately decided to lock him out of their hotel and cancel his flight home. But was she too harsh, or was it a justified move? ♀️

Let’s see what the internet thinks of this wild vacation gone wrong…
