I'm off the opinion that people should be taught dating etiquette in school, because frankly there are a hell of a lot of people out there who just don't seem to get it. They don't have a clue about how to behave, and exhibit the kind of behaviour that would be spoilt and obnoxious even in a four-year-old-child, let alone a fully grown adult.

Something about dating just seems to bring out the worst in people, and I'm sure we can all remember a date that we went on with good intentions that turned out to be a total car crash. But if you want an example of some serious entitlement, then look no further.

Recently, a young woman named Amanda Burnett, a nurse who hails from Chicago, Illinois, took to Twitter to share her story of a cringeworthy encounter with a guy who was either very offended or else, just super-stingy. Amanda had been on a dinner date with this dude a few days previously, but unfortunately for her, the sparks just weren't flying.

However, rather than reject him straight away, Amanda elected to simply ghost him instead. She stopped answering his calls, and hoped that he would take a hint and cease with the unwarranted advances. Big mistake.

On April 3. Amanda received an invoice (that's right, an invoice: you read that correctly) from the dude in the mail, which charged her in full for her portion of the meal. As you can see from the image above, which she posted to Twitter, the letter did indeed look very official, and all told, he believed that Amanda owed him around $40.

Yup, I think this guy thinks he's entitled to sex, and that now he's missing out on it he wants his money back. Sorry man; I'm afraid it doesn't work that way.

In her initial tweet, Amanda stated: "I’m posting this on Twitter bc it can prob go viral honestly. Got this in the mail from a guy I went on a date with a few weeks back because I didn’t text him back." But that wasn't the end of the story.

The hapless suitor then texted Amanda, and like some kind of loan shark, asked her to pay him back immediately so she would incur "penalty fines." Wow; way to make yourself look even less attractive. As you can see below, Amanda was having none of it, and told him exactly where he could stick his invoice.

However, I think there is a lesson to be learned here, which is that being ghosted sucks for everyone involved. I'm not saying that it excuses this kind of behaviour, but maybe Amanda should have thought about letting her amorous date down gently, instead of giving him the cold shoulder. Still, I'm pretty confident that she's never going to fork over that $40. I'm not sure I would either.

 

  Regret. The great maker of people and teachers of lessons worth heeding. It is said that it helps us to move on and achieve what we need to in life with the stark reminder of how a wandering path or action can affect our own lives. However, when it comes to the decisions that affect us physically, such as when I had a mohawk or turning up to a job interview wearing nothing but crotchless chaps, being aware is key. But some people make decisions and remain completely unaware of the ramifications. Enter the most common one of these unaware decisions: tattoos.

A dad whose body is 85% covered in tattoos has opened up about the abuse he receives because of how he looks, with some going as far as to call him a "monster".

Tattoos can often be a divisive subject, especially between the different generations as generally speaking, they are becoming more acceptable amongst younger people.

That being said, the stigma around those who cover the majority of their body in permanent ink still remains, as one 51-year-old man has found out.

Richard Huff is covered in body art, with around 85% of himself being taken up with ink - and some people use this as an excuse to attack him.

Richard is married to 29-year-old Marita and the pair have seven children - which includes two from Richard's former relationship, three from Marita's past relationship, and two twins that they share together.

Richard was 17 when he got his first tattoo, and things quickly developed. Speaking to Truly, he said: "It became an addiction, I started with my legs and worked my way up because then you could not have any on your arm or anywhere that could be seen at that point."

Explaining the extent of his tattoos, Richard said: "I approximately have 85% to 90% of my body covered, I probably have over 240 tattoos. I want to be 100% covered in tattoos probably within the next four years."

The 51-year-old's nine-year-old daughter, Amyah, said that children at her school find her dad "scary" but she insists that he isn't, he just loves tattoos.

Discussing how they first met, Marita expressed that she was also a bit intimidated by Richard's appearance, but that soon vanished and their love blossomed.

"I thought I was going to get robbed. I did judge Richard based on his looks at first but as I got to know him a little bit, he is actually a big-hearted person," Marita said.

The 29-year-old is no stranger to tattoos, having quite a few herself - including having "Richard" tattooed across her neck - and she insists that she will "catch up to Richard" in the future.

Though she might have a tricky time doing that, as she said: "The face is off limits, this beautiful face can't be covered."

Sadly, online trolls target Richard for his appearance as the couple read a few of the hateful comments out. One read: "How did you choose a monster to be your child's father?"

Though Richard believes this isn't the only reason that people call the couple out, as he said: "The age gap has a lot to do with it online because Marita is 29 years old and I'm 51 so people take that into consideration why she would want to be with somebody like me."

Though he defiantly added: "If somebody can make negative comments like that, there's something wrong with them themselves that they would have to judge somebody else.

"This is what we did and we're happy. We've been together six years our kids are happy and to us, that's all that matters."

Though he said that he gets more positive reactions than negative, and even believes it has a positive impact on his kids as they "get a different perspective on life".

A mother who is covered in tattoos is having a hard time finding a job, as she claims businesses aren't willing to hire her due to how she looks.

Tattoos have long been a subject of disagreement, particularly between generations, but as time progresses people are becoming more open to body art.

Increasingly, tattoo art is now understood to be an expression of one's self in the form of permanent ink.

Though one mother in the UK has found it pretty hard to convince employers to give her a chance, as she has over 800 tattoos covering her from head to toe.

As reported by the Daily Star, 46-year-old Melissa Sloan from Wales has at least three new designs applied to herself every week.

The majority of the tattoos are applied "prison style" by her partner Luke in the comfort of their own home.

Discussing her employment options, Sloan said: "I can’t get a job. They won’t have me. I applied for a job cleaning toilets where I live and they won’t have me because of my tattoos.

"The first job I had was cleaning ages ago, cleaning toilets. People have said I have never had a job in my life, I have had one once and it didn’t last long. But, if someone offered me a job tomorrow I would go and work - I would take that offer."

Sloan remains unemployed and is currently living off of government allowances to get by - but she has been making a clear effort to gain employment.

This isn't the only environment where the mother is judged for her looks, as she sadly revealed that she is unable to attend her children's school plays.

Exclusively speaking to the Daily Star, Sloan revealed that Christmas is a particularly hard time as her children's school makes her stand outside and watch the annual nativity performance through the window.

"No Christmas parties and when I go to my child's school I don't get invited," Sloan revealed. "They said once for me to go to the back garden and look through the class window."

Due to the treatment she receives, the tattoo "addict" stopped going to the school plays completely because she didn't appreciate how the teachers and other parents reacted to her.

Not only this, but Sloan revealed that she had been barred from various pubs due to her tattoos so can't partake in the Christmas tradition in the UK of spending it in the boozer with family and friends.

To add to her woes, tattoo shops will no longer let her in and that's why she's had to resort to her partner Luke giving her the weekly dose of ink.

Sloan said: "Tattoo shops shut the door on me - tattooists won't let me in. When I had this done [my face], there's one about five miles up the road and they won't do it."

She finished off by joking: "They won't do it because I'm beyond help because I've gone too far."

Despite all of this, Sloan is proud of her body art and has no intention of slowing down.

If you've dreamed about quitting your job on the spot - without bothering with a notice period or a formal resignation letter - then join the club!

Unfortunately, absolutely hating your job is something that we all go through. You may hate everything about the job or just certain aspects - but eventually, you get to the point where enough is enough.

But while many of us would love to quit abruptly, give our boss a piece of our mind and then not turn up for work ever again - unfortunately, it's not really feasible for the average Joe.

But one woman was brave enough to share a briefly-written note with her boss, telling him she wouldn't be turning up for work ever again, citing the boss' supposed "rudeness" as the reason.

The woman, who quit her job at a Target store in the US, shared the note to Reddit, with the caption: "the note I left on my TL desk after my shift" alongside a relieved emoji.

It read: "Hey Jordan! Just wanted to let you know that I will not be returning to work tomorrow or next week! Thx hun! – M."

The note continued: "P.S. I will never understand why you were so rude to me!"

And she ended the note with a drawing of an (ironic) smiley face.

The response the woman got was divisive, with some praising her and others telling her it was the wrong thing to do.

One person told her: "Good job! I walked out of my job at Target too. I was the only one working in the food corner (before they all turned into a starbucks) and they would just f**king leave me there, even when I would be paging for help. I hated that job.

"And I always smelled like popcorn."

However, others felt the action was only "burnt bridges" for the former Target employee.

One wrote: "Y’all may laugh and cheer on how to leave a job- but trust me, once you step foot out of retail and into a more professional career, you’ll see what we’re saying about burning bridges and about how to leave a job."
