Worst of the week
Check #00482@booth_survivor2h

Table: Catfished

He said he was 6'2". He was 5'2".

His profile had a tape measure in one photo. In person he explained that the tape measure was metric and I was being closed-minded. He then ordered for both of us, in a French accent, at an Applebee's.

Table: The bill

She Venmo-requested me for the bread basket

Free bread. Unlimited. She still sent a request for $4.50 with the note 'carbs are a shared responsibility'. I paid it. I think about it every day.

Table: Brought a plus one

His mom was already seated when I arrived

She had a binder. Tabs labeled Childhood, Allergies, and Exes. He said she just wanted to 'get ahead of the questions'. Dessert was a quiz.
