14 St Valentine’s Day fails to make you feel better about your bad dates
St. Valentine’s Day comes with a set of expectations of good food, gifts and romance, but it rarely turns out as perfectly as the adverts and films would have us believe. When comedian and talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres, asked her followers to share their bad Valentine’s Day stories, the replies were a lot more disaster flick than rom-com.
We’ve all experienced some #ValentinesDay fails. Tweet me yours! #Failentines

These were the 14 best – or worst – of the bunch.
A lot of them revolved around food fails.

One year we were staying at a hotel & both got food poisoning. We had to play Rock – TP – Scissors to see who got to use the toilet. #Failentines #ValentinesDay

@TheEllenShow I went to a Singles Awareness Party and ate a whole heart-shaped pizza. The only awkward part about this was that I wasn’t single at the time.

for our first married Valentine’s Day, my husband tried to be sweet and make breakfast for me.. he went to make the shakeable pancakes and didn’t screw the lid all the way on.. so we spent the day cleaning pancake mix off of everything in our apartment. ❤️ #Failentines

Not all the gifts were up to scratch.

Husband bought roses at the train station after work. Proudly presented them to me. I say oh stems, my favorite. What??All the rosebuds had fallen off as he held them upside down on the walk home-he never noticed. Literally rolled on the floor laughing. Best VDay gift ever.

I once got an electric can opener from my husband! Nothing says Happy Valentines like the ability to open his tuna faster.
