This is weird one!
When I was in College, I went to pick up my date at her house (she lived with her parents). I waited downstairs while she went upstairs to tell her Mom that she was leaving.
I heard horrifying screams from the upstairs. I went running up the stairs & saw my date screaming in the hallway. Her Mom had commited suicide in her bedroom.![]()
....about 2 months later...we decided to give it another try. I went to her house to pick her up. I was talking to her Father in the living room, while waiting for her to come down stairs. Her Dad then had a massive heart attack right in front of me. I called 911, and he lived.
However.....Me & that girl never talked to each other again.![]()
ps. a few years later, on her wedding day to some guy...her newlywed husband drug overdosed and died at the reception!![]()
WOW all I can say is wow, I was going to go ahead and post some of mine, but now I'm not, mine would seem so lame compared to these, some of these stories are truely amazing. That poor girl with the suicide mom, heart attack dad and overdose fiancee just couldn't get a break, man thats crazy.
I met her father years later, ironically he don't live far from me now.(this all happened in NYC, I live in PA now).......she was remarried & living somewhere in the midwest!
Then again, they say truth is stranger than fiction.
Surprisingly enough, he was still being a good sport. He actually tried to kiss me when we got to my house, barf breath and all. Of course, I turned away.
I didn't want to really have anything to do with her after that, but for some reason I guess me leaving her there really turned her on or something because I couldn't get her to quit calling me for about 6 months after that.
). It was odd -- he had no car, a low-paying job, and lived in his mother's basement. But somehow, I just knew he was alright.
I have to admit, I started to get worried here, because up until that point, I'd dated a lot of deadbeats and slackers. 
He had a hard time finding a job where I lived, but he eventually did get a job as a computer programmer, and he's actually more of a workaholic than I'd like!
I'm all misty eyed here. May you have many more years together 
picks me up and explains that before we have dinner we have to drop off cigarettes for some old shut-in woman.
We spend two and a half hours
trying to find the house he's sure he knows how to get to. Then we drive to his house to get the directions
and back over to her house. The whole time, we're listening to
classic rock songs I've never heard and don't like - blared them and never even asked if I liked them.
Now it is too late for restaurants and no time to get to the movie theater. I suggest calling it a night, but Nooooo.
He really wants to take me somewhere. Ug.
I purchase burgers and fries. At this point I was dying of thirst anyway, so was glad to get some refreshments at any cost.
Also kept telling me I was sweet. I was young, and not smart enough to say, "Take me home! Let me out of this car, you weirdo!" 
kiss him (as IF!) he tries something he should not have tried.
Grabbed my purse and flew out of the car.
yup, its my date sleeping
Everyone had already been watching us due to us arriving so late for the movie, this just made it worse. To this day, everytime I hear ET phone home, I think, crap why didn't I?
I said, "Isn't that term a little outdated and offensive?" and he replied:
Mind you, my Dad didn't put his teeth in for anyone lower than the POPE!!
, a MAJOR kind of car I had NEVER seen before, and hoped we wouldn't run over anyone on the way out. I asked how did they know he was there and he said "everyone knows MY car..."
She got wayyyyyyyyyyy to tipsy at Dinner then couldnt stop crying...she confessed that she was pregnant & didnt know who the father was!!!!!
