CONTEST Worst Valentine’s Ever
Just imagine how thrilled I was when Mike asked if I wanted to go to the Chicago Auto Show for Valentine’s Day. Yeah, not very.
I get where the idea came from, and in theory it’s good. I have a 2010 Prius on order and it’s been unveiled and will be on display at the show, but besides spending 10 minutes looking at my soon-to-be new car, spending a holiday all about love and romance at an auto show isn’t very lovey-dovey.
I nicely said that I didn’t want to go, so crisis adverted, but what’s your worst Valentine’s Day story? Eat at a greasy spoon? Get a bouquet that had more baby’s breath than roses? A box of nasty cherry cordial candies?
Worst Valentine’s Day story, judged by Mike and I, gets a copy of the soundtrack to he’s just not that into you! It can be your story, your friend’s story, or a story that’s not really all that bad in the grand scheme of things.
Contest ends Saturday at midnight, just in case this is the worst Valentine’s Day ever.
Please enter a valid first name and email address when entering. Not responsible for invalid entry information. Must comment with your worst Valentine’s Day story to be eligable. US and Canada.
PS – Sorry for making a contest out of your big Valentine’s Day plans, Mike. Hearts.

Oh, hey yourself.
Here’s my quickie story:
Valentines Day 1992. I had JUST broken up with my on-again, off-again boyfriend, and I wanted to get on with my on-again, off-again life. So I accepted a date with some new, slightly HAWT guy. I was concerned about a flawless complexion, and I had started to develop a bit of some oily skin, so I bought some overnight acne treatment. Valentines day was on a Friday, I think. I woke up Friday morning, and it looked like my face had been run over with a snowmobile. And dragged with the snowmobile. For a mile.
Apparently I had an allergic reaction to the medicine because my face was completely covered in hives, red, swollen, and just generally icky. This is strange, considering I am not allergic to anything. Nothing at all. Not even dust or ragweed or bees or cats. So, you can imagine how shocked I was. And the hives ended exactly where I’d stopped putting on the medicine, just below my chin.
I called the guy and… was honest with him, sort-of. I told him I was sick, and he tried to convince me to come out for V-D anyway. I told him that my face looked like a basketball because I had an allergic reaction to something. He was like, “Uh…. okay.” I guess he’s not interested in being known as “The Guy Who Went Out With Basketball Head Girl”. We did go out once later, but he was a horrible kisser.
The End.

I hope all of you have a terrific day- and remember even though he may buy you dental floss oops I mean a thong and you think I have not worn one since before we were married- smile and hug and love him. For those of you alone remember you are not alone- you have friends and many who have someone on Valentine’s Day would rather be single, so hug your friends, hug your dog…make some margaritas and enjoy life.

Agggghhhhhhh… men just don’t get it, do they?
Valentine’s Day is severely overrated IMHO! I’ve had lots of lousy VD’s and a few good ones over the course of a 30 year marriage… the most memorable being when my DH gave me the gift of a book entitled, “A Rose For Her Grave”. WTF did that mean????
My daughter and I made heart shaped sugar cookies tonight and drank beer together – and had a fabulous time making memories and enjoying the evening.
Women ‘get it’! It’s all about being with whomever you love!

Last Valentines day my HUSBAND sent me a text message saying that we weren’t meant to be together and that he had a baby on the way by another woman. Later in the day, while I was at work he came to our apartment and took all the stuff that he deemed was his. Including our new tv. Needless to say, that was the worst valentine’s day ever.
MJ
My boyfriend and I were together for about a year and it was the weekend before valentines and and we were both going off to college, and I wanted to be “free” when we went to college so i could socialize and not worry about calling a boyfriend…and he wanted to stay together, so we had this big fight, and ended up going our seperate ways. It was rough, but it was the right decision

this one since i am alone.

The time my sister bought me flowers. Jokingly, I told my then-boyfriend that they were from a secret admirer. He took this as his opportunity to suggest that he in fact was that admirer. We broke up soon thereafter.

When my ex decided that he would tell me on Valentines Day that he met another woman. Nice timing.

My worst valentines day was the first time
I actually had a valentine! I had been dating the guy for a little over a month and valentines day was coming up. He asked me to be his valentine, then the day before valentines day told me he was going to be away on valentines day! His parents invited him on their weekend getaway and he was going. Worst then that he didn’t even call me on valentines day!! and he didn’t give me anything when he came home. Needless to say we stopped dating.
Izzie
My new boyfriend and I were standing in line at a fish shop on Valentine’s Day (classy, I know). Anyway, we were kidding around and I was going to get out a pen and draw a heart on his hand. I was laughing as I dug through my purse, then I accidentally tried to write on his hand with a tampax. Aaaaaargh!
veronica sandberg
It was snowing, but I wanted to go the library. While I was stopped to make a left, a car came behind me and whamp he hit me. I was in pain for about 9 months from that accident. What a happy Valentines day.
Diane Baum
Worse than spending Valentines at a sports event..is spending it at a pre-spring gun and knife show with the guy you are dating! Some of the other men in attendance were pretty scarey Rambo looking too! When my boy friend offered me lunch of cooked vension (Bambi ) stew-I knew it was my time to exit..Valentines or no Valentines…
Joe
I was thinking about it, but then I read Tasha’s post above and I think she has to win.
John
Wow.. don’t know if mine would come anywhere close to topping some of the ones that I’ve seen on here, but quite a few years ago on V-Day, I had just had roses sent to my then sig. other, and spent a good amount of money on it, and never heard anything all day about it. Tried to call, no answer. Emailed, no response. Not home either. Found out later that day he was out with another person on V-Day, and basically broke up with me w/out ever saying anything to me again… Didn’t answer his phone or return calls emails after that, and never answered the door… (Oh yah, and we had been dating for 7 months at this point…)

My worst Valentines Day ever was when my dog died on Valentines Day. He sweeter then any guy has ever been in my life and he loved me no matter what….
Kathy Scott
Last night my husband says “We are out of milk I better run get some.” I say there are a couple of things that I need so I’ll go with you. On the way he says I was really going to get you a present. I guess I ruined it.
Amy Tucker
Our family loves Valentine’s Day. We often share great gifts with our entire family.
My worst Valentine’s Day gift received was an obvious regift. Two years ago, I had given my sister-in-law a beautiful nightie for her wedding shower. She seemed to love it. Two years later, I received an interesting regift from my mother-in-law — the same night gown (same tag and size).

This is my first and worst valentine.
My bf of a year, came home from work and I suprised him with an expensive diamond bracelet. It’s the evening now…no flowers, no chocolates nothing. He’s just sleeping on the couch
He tried to make up for it by taking me shopping but honestly…I wanted something more personal he can take me shopping any day…and then asked me not too long ago to call around and make reservations somewhere.
Oh yeah. This afternoon he said “I think valentines day is a waste”
*sighh*

Today ranks up there. My husband went out of town this morning and now my mom came over and she has a really bad cold, which I will probably catch.

When my husband and I were leaving he was cussing about the weather. On the way to the restaraunt there were 2 road rage events. When we got to the restaraunt he got frustrated with the parking. Once we got in the restaraunt he was being a little rude to the people waiting behind us because it was so crowded. We left the restaraunt and headed to the theatre he would not even hold my hand. Then after we get home he gets mad because I do not feel like having sex with him. I know this was probably not the worst vday ever but considering that it was the first time we have ever done anything for vday it pretty much sucked but i should of known better than to get my hopes up as he is like this every day.

well, I’ve never been with anyone on Valentine’s before, which was completely fine with me. But this year I have a girlfriend and I won’t be able to spend the day with her as she’s on the other side of the world atm. So yea, that pretty much sucks!

lol sorry I’m like a year late, but hey it was fun to read
