I need a tums just reading that Mike’s Hard exists as a light variation. 

I once bailed on a Boone’s farm “Wild Island”/”Strawberry Hill” date

Mickey’s reminds me of high school. A childhood crush who showed up with Mickey’s for nostalgia reasons could probably get it. 

Oof. At least it wasn’t Mickey’s?

Deliciously petty

I mean, this is not that petty, but I stopped talking to a guy because he didn’t clean his cat box. Two cats, one box, no cares about cleaning it. I mean, the litter was all over the floor in his bathroom, it was just wrong. Poor kitties, ya know?

No drummers! Personally when it came to musicians, I only went for pianists. 

I had a bad run with guys who had last names that were first names. That is a huge red flag for me now. Also once I dated a guy who would say “That will be suffice” when wait staff at restaurants would ask if we needed anything else. 

Basically, don’t yuck my yum....

I think that it would be pretty cool to run into someone you once dated on here. 

I went on a first date with a guy who, knowing what I do for a living, spent half the time criticizing and insulting people in my line of work, basically saying we’re lazy, entitled, have too much vacation time, take too many breaks, fake illness to go on extended sick leave, don't do real work, etc. I declined a…

Making noise when they eat, or saliva buildup in the corners of their mouth. The saliva thing makes me gag (and I do realize that they may not be able to help it... sorry), but the noisy eating makes me homicidal.

Is smoking a petty reason to rule someone out? My dad died of lung cancer.

Film snobs. I work in VFX and having a guy berate my life’s work (“yeah motherfucker, I know these are cheesy movies, but fucking relax...”) was way too insufferable. He was a film student (rolls eyes)

If you leave garbage on the counter, you deserve to be ghosted.

This isn’t the “tell us about what a good person you are” deal breakers thread this is the “petty” deal breakers thread. Gird your loins - this is not the space for people to show their best selves!

I had a varied dating history before marrying many years ago and dumped some dudes for some very pertinent reasons.

FO SHO (but it still annoys the crap out of me, especially when I see guys whining about being expected to pay for dates)

Cruising in the passing lane.

The name Chad. Never met a Chad that was worth any amount of time. Continue to swipe left on all Chads without reading a single thing about them.
