A female diner says she immediately got the ‘ick’ when she heard a man out on a double date ask an infuriating question after dinner.
Model Lani Baker Randol was recently out with her husband at a restaurant where she observed two couples on a double date.
The eatery was below ground, and had no windows, so diners were taken by surprise upon leaving to find pouring rain had completely cut them off from the car park.
One of the double-date men turned to his group and asked: ‘OK, who has the least expensive shoes on?’
Lani was angered the men did not do the chivalrous thing and volunteer to bring the cars around, instead of debating whose shoes cost the most.

‘I had the privilege of witnessing two girls get the ick right before my eyes,’ Lani said in a video.
‘My eyes were wide and my jaw was dropped [when he asked about the shoes]. That is unacceptable. The girls looked at each other and I could tell the dates didn’t go well – and the shoes thing was just the icing on the cake.’
The model said the men continued to debate the problem for a while, attempting to come to a logical conclusion.
‘These kicks are brand new,’ one of the men said. ‘If I walk out there – they’re really going to be toast, guys.’
The women could not stand the awkward situation anymore and one offered to get the car – and that seemed to shame one of the men into action.
‘Are you sure? Are you sure you don’t mind?’ he asked. ‘Ugh, I’ll just go get it. It’s whatever. I don’t want to have to explain to you where it’s parked, you’ll never find it.’
Lani said, ‘You go and get the car, that’s how you treat a woman – you don’t ask her if her shoes are less expensive than yours.’
Thousands were shocked by the ’embarrassing’ behaviour.
‘Now THAT is a valid ick,’ one said.
‘I really hope those girls kicked them to the curb after that,’ a woman wrote.
‘That’s so unforgivable and wrong,’ a third stated.
‘Same thing happened to me but my husband ran back inside and covered his new shoes in plastic bags so he could get the car for me,’ one revealed.
While others criticised the women for having unreasonable expectations.
‘Everyone failed, real couples run through the rain together,’ a man wrote.
‘I love how women want to be treated as equals unless it inconveniences them, then it suddenly turns into ‘chivalry is dead!’,’ another said.
One advised, ‘Gentlemen, wait for the woman who will tell you ‘race you to the car’ and will join you in the rain.’
‘Controversial opinion but my partner and I are equals. I wouldn’t expect him to get the car automatically. Honestly we’d just both get wet and go,’ one woman said.
