Man gets upset and sues his date for texting during a movie

Brandon Vezmar from Texas is taking a stance on the issue by suing his Bumble date after she used her phone during a movie. The Austin American-Statesman reported that Vezmar filed a small court claim for $17.31, the price of a 3D showing of “Guardians of the Galaxy 2.” “It was kind of a first date from hell,” he told the local newspaper.

The 36-year-old said that his date was on her phone “at least 10-20 times in 15 minutes to read and send text messages.” According to Vezmar, he told her she should text outside, so she left and took the car in which they both arrived. Ouch.

Vezmar claimed he tried to text and call his date before taking the matter to court. He tweeted a screenshot once his date sent a statement to KVUE anonymously to say that, while she felt bad that his feelings were hurt, she chose to leave because he made her feel unsafe. “His behavior made me extremely uncomfortable, and I felt I needed to remove myself from the situation for my own safety,” the statement read. “He has escalated the situation far past what any mentally healthy person would.” Full Story

If this were an important documentary or a movie that provided food for the brain, we would still find the concept of suing someone for texting to be ludicrous. However, under the current circumstances, it clearly illustrates how the world is getting dumber and dumber with the passage of each day. Whatever ever happened to see you later alligator; now it is “see you later alligator but in court”? Stupidity on steroids is all we can say.
