Ep 039 - The Toddcast

Recorded 12-28-28

What Other Podcasts did I Start?

  • 206geek (2013) Show Ended in 2018 due to burnout.

    • I started with a co-host but he ended up leaving in 2016, still unclear why.

  • I started 2 other shows but they are still going without me and i don’t want to give them any attention from here.

What’s GEEK, This Week?

Am I the Asshole?

for quitting a date on the spot?

I’m 32 and it was my first date with a 27 year old woman.

It was dinner at a patio style restaurant and it was going well. I didn’t like that she put her phone on the table as soon as she arrived but she wasn’t checking on it so whatever.

The issue was drinks and appetizers arrived and I moved her phone to give the waitress some space. The recording app was running and i reacted in shock: why the fuck are you recording this? Then I stood up, paid and went home.

She is now calling me an asshole and abusive over social media. Her main point is that I left her there when we had previously talked about me giving her a ride back home after the date.

And also, rude as hell for raising my voice and using swear words. Which ok, i did, but it was a shocking experience and i really think it was a natural reaction. Am I The AssHole?

Edit 1: to everyone asking, this happened in the greater LA area. I know California is a two party consent state but as a brown latino immigrant i’d rather not have the police involved, specially not these days.

Comments:

  • Filming doesn’t protect, it just documents.
    There’s a subset of “influencers” who secretly film their dates to post to their social media, often making fun of their date in the process. I suspect that was the case here.

  • NTA, You aren’t her content. Recording your date is a sign that she doesn’t fully understand consent. If she was worried about her safety in a public space, why would she get in a car alone with you?
