In the age of social media, a bad first date can be a hell of a lot more awkward than what spawns from one-on-one interaction. Suppose the person sitting at the table beside yours live tweets the whole thing for thousands to read. We've seen it with bad breakups in Toronto before, but this probably takes the cake.

Writer Anne ThĂŠriault had both the pleasure and misfortune of being a first hand witness to this coffee date, which I presume she recorded for posterity as something of a coping mechanism. It's a hell of a lot less embarrassing to suffer through such an awkward social interaction if you can turn it into laugh out loud comedy merely by providing a play-by-play.

Have a look and prepare to laugh and cry at the same time.
