| She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 5:39:10 PM | Here's a fun story for you all. First post, btw. Hi!
I'll try and make this short. Began dating a girl about 2 months ago. Absolutely beautiful, career oriented and a little high maintenance. Just how i like em'! We make plans to get dinner at the Cheesecake Factory with old friends that i had not seen in a long time. We arrived and found out that the other couple was running late. The restaurant is connected to a mall, so i ask her if she'd like to walk around in it until they arrived. She says no, cause she is wearing heels. Then she remembers that there is a Bebe in this mall, and proceeds to say that she would like to go inside where i am to buy her a shirt from this store. I say, "what?". That's right. She didn't ask me to. She told me to. I said no, of course. I honestly thought at this point that she was just foolin around. She wasn't. She persisted. I told her no over and over again and that i was gonna go to my own store and look for somethin myself. She said she would be in Bebe and have a shirt picked out for me to buy her once i was done. Im getting long winded, sorry...
I dont buy her the shirt. She gets upset and asks me to take her home, and that i really know how to ruin a girls night. At this point, i was ready to drop her off in an alley somewhere. I call and cancel on the other couple who still had not arrived. Her and i get in the car and i begin driving her home. I dont know who this girl is at this point! She had never shown ANY signs of this kinda craziness. I'm going about 45 mph down a busy street and get a text message from the couple who was supposed to meet with us. She attempts to grab my phone and read what it says (she apparently thought they were speakin badly of her). I told her to chill out and stop overreacting. She didnt like that apparently. She reaches over and yanks my keys out of the ignition, then shoves the gear shifter into park. Remember....im goin about 45 mph at this point. My car freaks out and begins doin all sorts of crazy stuff. It comes to a complete stop in the middle of traffic. I said a few choice words Turn on my emergencies and cross my fingers my car starts back up. It does. I immediately pull into the nearest parking lot and tell her i gotta get out of the car to chill. I was fuming. Took my keys with me of course. After about ten minutes of gathering my thoughts, i get back in the car and finish driving her home with my hands on ten o'clock, two o'clock. I don't say a word to her the rest of the way home. She begins to try and apologize, but i had had at this point. I was done. Dropped her off and that was that. Unbelievable.
It's time to change my preferences in the women i date. No more of these high maintenance women. May have had somethin to do with it, eh! Sheesh... | |

I applaud your composure. I would have gone off like Vesuvius.
How did you actually get her home without leaving her in that parking lot? I mean really? I would have left her $.50 and told ehr to buy herself a cab ride.
No I wouldn't.... I wish I could've... But I'd probably do it your way.. | |
|
| She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 5:44:15 PM | Your first was that she wore heels to The Cheescake Factory and she was not going there for a pre-prom dinner.
Your second clue was her wanting a shirt from Bebe!
But, after two months I'll bet you she has shown you a bit of this side of her before... | |
|
| She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 5:44:58 PM | | You like high maintenance......... DRAMA.... You can't complain.... You actually got what you liked... Its called choice... | |
|

| She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 5:49:51 PM | | Trust me. I wanted to leave her in that parking lot so badly. Unfortunately, i work with her. She is actually my executive admin. I was foolish for even beginning to date her. Besides, if somethin bad would have happened to her in that parking lot or while tryin to find a way home, i woulda felt aweful. Live and learn. | |
|
| She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 5:52:37 PM | | Let me also just say this - I realize there are two sides to every story, but i assure you, there really is no other side. Felt like i was part of some crazy reality TV show. | |
|
| She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 5:53:19 PM | I dunno Trevor, you're a much better person than I. When she took the keys out the ignition, I would have wrestled them back and thrown her butt out of the car right then and there, in the middle of the road! That was very nice of you to take her home. In my opinion, after the hissy fit, she was lucky you took her home, let alone after reading the rest of the story!
You seem to have met one of those "gold diggers" I always read about here on the forums. Lucky you, huh? Sorry that happened to you Trevor, but I'm glad you and your car are okay! | |
|
| She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 5:54:01 PM | OMG! And guys call me high maintenance.this woman is pure jerk..not high maintenance. That's too bad you have to deal with her.....maybe you should go out with older women....LOL | |
|
| She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 5:56:29 PM | That's not a high maintenance woman, that's a friggen whack job and a level 5 whack job if that would of been me, I would of stopped the car hailed a cab, and paid the cab and tipped him handsomely and say take this whack job home. | |
|
| She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 5:58:39 PM | No, her being a high-maintenance girl in the spirit of being uber-fashionable and all that jazz has nothing to do with it... The point was that she wanted a sugar daddy (which many times also falls into that category previously mentioned; but they're not directly related).
You should learn to read a gal's wants and needs better before you meet them. Not to say that you could never get surprised by a gal demanding you buy her a shirt on first meeting, but you should be able to mark her at least high on the suspect list of being a sugar-daddy-hunter, if anything like that happened!
I personally would have told her to get out of the car to chill, and just drove off. Wouldn't have been rude... you're just protecting yourself.
Also -- next time, if a gal seems high-maintenance in that way, nothing wrong with it -- don't hastily stereotype that they're all like that by any means... but definitely don't set up a fancy "date". Meet first, date after (or extend it into a date if feasible). If you don't know a gal well at all before meeting, definitely a "casual meeting in person" would be the best move rather than jumping into a full-blown "date". | |

That's a great idea, but unfortunately i live in Salt Lake. Cabs don't really exist here. | |

| She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 6:02:41 PM | Psychos come in all shapes and sizes... I had a guy who was the passenger in my brand new (<24hr old) car. He wanted to stop for smokes, so I did... on the way out, as I'm driving forward, he threw my car into reverse. Should have been my first clue. We go to pick up my friend and while we're waiting, he spots a hot dog cart and says he's hungry... he then tried to get into my brand new car with a fully loaded hot dog and pop - orange... spilled the pop and before he could dump the dog, I kicked him out of my car and locked the doors 'til he finished. He was pissed, but as far as I was concerned, he could walk.
Some people know no boundaries and treat others with disrespect. Your girl DEMANDING to have you buy her a shirt is one thing... she could be testing you, but to throw your moving car into park is insane. Hopefully your trannie suffered no long term effects. | |

NO, NO, NO, NO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR DAMN MIND???
Don't you KNOW the first cardinal rule of being a boss is to NOT date your underlings? Jesus wept...she can cut you off at the knees--actually the nads--with THIS.
Beyond the fact that she's a pyscho biatch...DUDE..........holy crap. You've totaly shyt yourself.
You do not ever, EVER, EVER date someone you work with who is a direct subordinate. I'll be a man for a minute and tell you this...
NO pu**y is THAT good and worth possibly facing a sexual harassment charge if she chose to.
AFL shaking her head wondering what the F is wrong here...
What do some men think with? You don't HAVE a brain in your penis... | |

| She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 6:07:47 PM | ^^^Dangit Mahogony, you beat me to it.
As I was reading the thread, I was thinkin'...."Damn! This young man demonstrated GREAT patience". I wouldn't have let her back in my car. I would've called her a taxi too. And I AM a patient person.
Nothin' like a high maintenance whacko OP remember that.
Oh, and, try not to date from where you work. Notice, if you will, how this situation turned out and now you gotta see her at work. Not sayin' that every workplace date situation is going to turn out as whacky as this one but......I think you see what I'm getting at. Right?
Edit: Oh, Keyyyrist! If you ARE her subordinate then she could put your nuts in a vice and you'll wish your car was THE only thing she messed with. | |

| She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 6:07:56 PM | I dont buy her the shirt. She gets upset and asks me to take her home
lol knucklehead, that's what you get for liking 'em "a little" high maintenance. you got what you deserved. personally? if i were you i woulda called her a cab and sent her packing.
She is actually my executive admin
HA HA HA HA!
edit for below:
Perhaps i should explain my attraction to the high maintenance type. I like the LOOK of a high maintenance woman....not the attitude or ****yness
oh blehhhh! don't you know? you can't get the look without the correspondingly uber-bitchy attitude. it's not possible, duh! better quit while you're ahead, lol. hey, you know how people who dress like slobs, are actually slobs? well, it's the same damn principle. people who dress like high maintenance bitches, are, TA DA!! high maintenance bitches!!
lol this just gets funnier & funnier | |

I suspected she was the sugar daddy seeking type, and shouldnt have bothered with her to begin with. I had just broke off an engagement with a girl i dated for 4 years. Times were tough to say the least. My head wasnt in the right place, obviously. My rebound girl ended up bein insane. | |
|
| She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 6:11:26 PM | LOL.......but ...
afashionlady......... she is beautiful and high maintenance... just what he likes...... I mean deserves... Where on earth do brains come into it.... never mind where the brains are........
Sorry I couldn't help myself...
ha ha.. | |
|
| She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 6:12:52 PM | You can now visualise all the "spoilt" years she had from Mummy and Daddy huh?
That's "princess" material reminds me of Paris Hilton haha....
But, here's the thing.
You work with her? She is your executive admin?
Oh dear me.... you were foolish so how long your going to keep your job now? lol.
I aplaude you for the way in which you handled it however. | |

Perhaps i should explain my attraction to the high maintenance type. I like the LOOK of a high maintenance woman....not the attitude or ****yness. Like i said, i had dated her for a while and she had shown no signs of this side of her. I thought i had finally found a girl with the look i enjoyed, and NOT the attitude. Wasnt to be. Lesson learned. Truly. | |

The sympathy factor is really plummeting ........fast.
Your 'head' was exactly in the place you were intending it to be. Except your date went all psycho on you and your 'head'. | |
|
| She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 6:20:41 PM | Oh Man , she's your secretary ?? you're her boss and she's your secretary, good lord man, what are you f*ckin thinking?
DO NOT TRUST THY PENIS, repeat after me DO NOT TRUST THY PENIS when faced with the possibility of dating at work.
Good luck trying to fire her in the future? I hope you have a good lawyer, I can see if you end up firing her, she's going to sue your ass, and your lawyer is going to charge you so much fees you will be able to claim the lawyer as a dependent. | |
|
| She threw my car into park... Posted: 9/20/2009 6:46:27 PM | Actually Trevor (OP), her being your secretary actually makes the situation a little better, oddly enough.
I mean, it's bad that you were to go out, but in a group setting at the Cheese Factory, you could have easily set it as an outing, not a date per se. The real question is -- did you have any sexual relations with her beforehand? If so, yeah, then it's just the same as a date.
With that said though, her grabbing your phone or taking the keys out and throwing into park makes her not quite as insane as say, a gal you emailed on POF and had a blind date with. She knew you, you knew her. Makes sense that you drove her back knowing her already.
I think you being her boss made her think it was going down that route... and since you knew she was the sugar-daddy-hunting type, I'd place a little blame on yourself for her expecting you to buy her a shirt. You knew she'd possibly throw that out there, just not be so insistent on it. I think you prevented to get the air cleared that you weren't that type, because that'd risk her going out with you. If a gal isn't a sugar-daddy-hunter, she wouldn't mind a light-hearted "I know technically I'm your boss, but due to some past bad experiences with some gals, I'm not a sugar-daddy by any means -- I just like paying for a nice date and to have a good time."
And I disagree with some who may say it's your fault for being attracted and willing to entertain a materialistic girly-girl. Many girls like that don't expect anything more than a guy paying for a date. Wouldn't say it's a wise choice when relationship-hunting, but after your broken engagement, you shouldn't be relationship-hunting anyway. | |

Dude...yo're an idiot. I hate to say it but you're all worried about this woman being high maintenance? And not about the fact that you dated your secretary?
You were thinking with the little head. I sure as hell hope that's ALL the little head did!!!! | |
