Man steals dates phone after she refuses to pay for her half

[King Ghidorah]

A bad first date took a turn for the criminal after a man angered by his companion's refusal to pay for her share of the bar tab stole the woman's phone in retribution.According to authorities in London, Kishore Nimmala and Fakhara Sultana met up at the posh Ruby Blue bar in Leicester Square after connecting through the online dating site Zoosk.

Following two rounds of drinks, Nimmala began to insist Sultana help him out with the £54 ($84) bill. "She informed the defendant that she didn't have any money with her and she assumed he would be paying for the evening," prosecutor Helen Thomas told the Southwark Crown Court.

Sultana ended the date, but Nimmala followed her to the nearby Tube station, badgering her for the money along the way.
Concerned that Nimmala's increasing belligerence was putting her in danger, Sultana took out her BlackBerry cellphone to call for assistance."At that point, the defendant grabbed her mobile phone from her hand and ran off down the street with it," said Thomas.

A screaming Sultana gave chase and was soon joined by a pair of policemen. Nimmala ditched the phone and attempted to flee, but was ultimately chased down.

He later told the cops he took Sultana's phone because "she took my money," but claimed he didn't intend to keep it and only wanted to hold it hostage until Sultana "paid her share."A verdict in the theft trial is pending.

lol he tried to cut his losses.

I also had a bad experience with a girl paying and thus don't like women paying...yes I have issues.

Whilst I think she should have paid for half if he wanted to split (I'd have just refused to pay it myself)...... Yeah not the greatest way to deal with the situation really to say the least

I met up with a girl from Zoosk once. I paid for dinner because she wanted to go to IHOP.....

That's a sex metaphor.

Jesus,just pay the tab(especially on the first date),f*** face.

Finally, someone is taking a stand against these sexist expectations.

I am lucky that I am tolerant of people and do not go on many first dates because it can get quite expensive.

Out of all my first dates, I only had one bad experience because it was a blind date and she exaggerated how hot she would be.

The guy should have just asked the waitress for a split bill and paid for his cut.

This is why I take all my first dates to Taco Bell.


It's for the best.

Last date I went on she paid half ish for dinner and she got the Starbucks. Probably because she was two hours late because she was asleep at the time.

It's gentlemanly to pay for dinner, but for a woman to just "expect it" is pretty arrogant in today's world of supposed equality.

I feel like if the dude is gonna pay for everything, it shouldn't happen on the first date. You have no idea if you're gonna see that person again, really. No excuse for following her and taking her phone though hahaha

84 bucks for two rounds of drinks? What the hell were they drinking?

I have the innate ability to get women to pay for dinner on the first date. I have no idea how it's working out like that but I'm going to keep doing whatever it is that I'm doing until it stops working.

But yeah, this guy is a dumbass.

She thought that vagina was gonna get her a free meal lol.

I don't mind paying for dinner on the first date, but if it's the woman that's insisting I pay, there's not going to be a second.

[Toxik916]

Perhaps I'm just old fashioned, but I never let a lady pay for herself when I take her out.

[Totorob101]

Women have money, so they should pay their fair share. I always believed in being a gentleman but its better to respect them as women then patronise them by buying dinner fully.

it's London it can be expensive, but my guess is because he was expecting to pay half & she was expecting him to pay fully they both ordered expensive wine.

Precisely why the first date should be casual and inexpensive, not fancy and formal.
