What's the worst thing you can do on a first date?

A Texas man is suing a "first date from hell" for texting during a movie. Brandon Vezmar, 37, says the woman pulled out her phone 15 minutes into a showing of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" at an Austin theater.

Vezmar told the American-Statesman that she used her phone 10 to 20 times in a 15-minute period, despite him asking her to stop. He then suggested she go text outside the theater, so she left -- and never returned.

"It was kind of a first date from hell," he said. "This is like one of my biggest pet peeves."

According to the newspaper, he filed a lawsuit against his 35-year-old date, who has not been identified. He's seeking reimbursement for the $17.31 ticket to a 3D showing of the new Marvel superhero film.

"While damages sought are modest, the principle is important as defendant's behavior is a threat to civilized society," the suit said.

The woman, who met Vezmar online, reportedly refused to pay him back because "he took me on the date." According to the New York Post, though, she denied being a bad date.

"I had my phone low and I wasn't bothering anybody," she told the American-Statesman. "I'm not a bad woman, she said. "I just went out on a date."

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" director James Gunn chimed in on Twitter, siding with Vezmar.

"Why stop at suing? She deserves jail time!" Gunn tweeted.

The "Guardians of the Galaxy" sequel, starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Kurt Russell, Michael Rooker and the voices of Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel, is currently in theaters.
