Imagine being set up on a blind date, only to discover your date is someone you’ve already rejected multiple times. That’s the predicament our friend (let’s call him ‘Mr. No-Thanks’) found himself in when his buddy, Joe, arranged a double date with his girlfriend and Jane, a woman Mr. No-Thanks had previously turned down on several occasions. ♂️

The Great Escape: Justified or Just Rude?
After being set up on a surprise date with Jane, a woman he’d previously rejected multiple times, our protagonist, Mr. No-Thanks, found himself at the end of his tether. He stormed out without uttering a single word, leaving his friends and the persistent Jane in shock. The fallout? A flurry of texts and calls accuses him of being a jerk and hurting Jane’s feelings. But with his patience worn thin and his frustration at an all-time high, was his dramatic exit justified or just plain rude? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this sticky situation…
