Woman walks out of date early after seeing gadget man uses in restaurant

A woman was left red-faced and walked out on her date after the man did something she found “unacceptable” during their dinner. She shared her story on Reddit, explaining how his behaviour at a restaurant left her so embarrassed that she had to leave.

The 30-year-old woman, who chose to remain anonymous, wrote about her experience on the popular forum. She explained that she had been dating this man for four months and they lived in different towns. This time, she decided to visit his town and they went out to eat at a diner.

She was shocked when the man pulled out a small bell from his jacket pocket and started shaking it when it was time to order. The woman felt this was disrespectful to the staff and ended up walking out on the dinner.

She explained: “It produced a loud, annoying sound my ears started hurting. I was so confused I asked what he was doing and he said that he was trying to get one of the waiter staff’s attention. I said it was embarrassing and he should stop right then but he kept shaking it. I can not begin to explain the looks we received from everyone.

“I demanded him to stop but he said not till someone came and took our order. I threatened to leave the place and cancel dinner if he wouldn’t and he kept doing it.”

She continued: “I told him that I couldn’t take being embarrassed by him and he got upset and said that he didn’t get why I thought the bell was embarrassing, explained that it was a perfect solution for no longer be forced to wait till someone shows up.

“I said it’s inappropriate and embarrassing here. He said I was being too sensitive and overreacted over nothing. He insisted we go back inside but I refused.

“We ended up leaving, he kept on about how I ruined dinner by cancelling it and offending him by acting like his behaviour is shameful. I said I had a right to give an opinion on what he’s done even if he thought what he was doing but he basically told me to get off my high horse and stop calling his ‘genius’ idea embarrassing.

“He’s been sulking for days now and wanting an apology, Maybe I overreacted. maybe it’s nothing where he lives but here it’s just unacceptable. That’s incredibly rude and beyond inappropriate.”

Other users took to the comments section to share their opinion with oe sayign: “Who would ring a bell at a public restaurant? I would say that’s beyond embarrassing, and it’s like disturbing other customers and waiters they might be busy with their work and it’s their job they will serve you OP are you sure about this relationship I see red flags.”

Another one opined: “I worked at a restaurant for years and if someone ever came into my work and brought a bell I would kick them out and refuse service. This man is gaslighting you. You should leave him seriously.”
