33 Valentine’s Days That Cupid Threw A Very Large Wrench In

We get it. Valentine’s Day is a made-up holiday about consumerism and displays of affection. And yes, there are plenty of badass holidays we’d rather have on the calendar, but we’re stuck with Cupid’s crap until he’s finally banned for public indecency. In the meantime, people are still attempting to use this one day of the year to declare their fondness for whomever they’re currently romantically involved with, occasionally to disastrous results. Just ask the guy who was on a Valentine’s Day date that got interrupted by the girl’s actual boyfriend who had been sitting at the bar the whole time. There are no winners in that situation. 

Redditors have opened up about the times Cupid was nowhere to be found, and we gotta hope everyone recovered from these situations — especially the guy who practiced his backflip for a week straight.
