We’ve all been on dates whether blind or otherwise we couldn’t wait to end. Finding someone you like is hard, and not all dates turn out to be romantic and fun. Imagine the worst date you’ve ever had, and now imagine that date captured via social media.

That’s exactly what happened to a North Carolina couple who were dining at an Olive Garden Restaurant in Pineville. Adam Howell, was at the restaurant on Sunday evening when the bickering couple caught his attention. He tweeted a picture with the caption: “A grown ass man is mad at his girlfriend at Olive Garden & has made a menu fort.” Who hasn’t built a menu fort around themselves?

Kidding aside, we’ve all had moments when we’ve fought with our loved ones and acted in a childish or obnoxious way. The man in the picture is probably embarrassed that his behavior is now a thread on Reddit, and being discussed on the news and various internet sites. It’s a stark reminder that your private and embarrassing moments are only a smartphone snapshot away from being broadcast on the internet.

What do you think of the picture, is it ridiculous that it became a news story and just a reflection on our oversharing culture or is it just a new form of the old fashioned grapevine?
