People can’t believe how long this guy held a grudge for not getting a second date
Anyone who’s been on a date will be aware of the many perfectly valid reasons for not wanting to meet up again: your interests were too different, you simply didn’t feel a spark, they clicked their fingers to attract the waiter’s attention, you laughed and spat a bit of pasta onto their plate and now you want to change your name and start a new life in America.
Usually, a tactful “It was lovely, thanks, but I’m still getting over my ex.” will do the job, but once in a while, someone takes it the wrong way, which is what happened to Amy Bottrill, and she shared her bizarre story on Twitter.
I regret to inform you that I have just been roasted to within an inch of my life by this man who bought me one meal in October 2018 and has apparently been seething ever since pic.twitter.com/5iQJdIzCGy

Amy added,
“dressed like you was attending a funeral of someone you didn’t like” is a devastatingly accurate description of my personal style; I wore a low cut black dress that had functioning poppers all the way down and 4 inch heels

There’s a lot to unpick here, which people did in the comments – quite thoroughly.

No grudges, though. Nooooo way. NOT AT ALL, HERE'S MY DOSSIER

This reads dangerously like Rik Mayall in Bottom. "I bought you a drink in good faith."

“You should be making more of an effort right now”. My dude…. youre the one who came back again? I actually can’t ♀️

‘you were delighting me with prior’ serious question… did you actually go on a date with someone from pride and prejudice

"the sexually arousing pictures you were delighting me with prior" is one of the worst things that's ever been said in the English language, who is this monster

Was this man-child raised by wolves or what makes someone feel so entitled that a $15 dinner is like a de facto purchase of a woman’s affection? https://t.co/Skgz40j1Zh

Whatever else people took away from the strange reaction, it turned Amy into a bit of a style icon.
Dressing for the funeral of someone you don't like is an entire aesthetic I didn't know I needed to aspire to but honestly, I have a shit ton of shopping to do now.

This makes me want to dress like I'm at the funeral of someone I don't like every day, for the rest of my life

Twitter user @sketch_bk had this critique of Mr I-Don’t-Have-A-Grudge’s comeback.
It's not a bad set of burns but with 6 months of prep I expected better
