A Reddit user recounting a date at an author's home.
“I had a date with a relatively prominent author in L.A. We went back to his place after meeting for a nice dinner in Pasadena-holy moly. His home was a mess. Dirty, cluttered, cobwebs everywhere. I walked out and never looked back.”

“This dude's bathroom was visibly dirty and didn't have any toilet paper, soap, or towels. Neither did the kitchen sink. I was so confused! I couldn't get out of there fast enough, and I'm not proud to say that I ghosted him.”
