Nightmare Tinder date with unhygienic law student ends with woman being sued

A woman has gone viral after sharing details of a nightmare date that ended in her being served papers for 'breaking a verbal contract'.

Podcaster Emily Mackinnon received a letter informing her that she was being sued by her Tinder match after not having sex with him.

She said the man, a law student, had poor personal hygiene and things took a turn for the worst after she went back to his place, as reported by the Daily Record.

In a TikTok video explaining the incident, she explained: "When I tell you it was a sight. It was a f***ing sight.

"There were trails. There was a vague bad smell. I had to get the f*** out. Evacuate. Abort Mission."

She continued: "I was upwind and I still smelled something… There was, like, skid marks in his undies, and he had not washed in a long time."

Emily chose not to see the man again, but after a few days received a letter from him.

She stated: "He had paid someone to serve me with papers to, like, sue me for breaking a verbal contract.

"But it’s okay. I fixed it because he had spent a bunch of the time telling me about how his dad’s lawyer, so I made an appointment with his dad and just like told on him to his dad."

After this, things seemed like they had resolved - until Emily claims she received another legal letter for speaking about the incident on her podcast.

In comments, she said she had taken the letter to a lawyer and was told he wouldn't be able to pursue the claim.

"The lawyer I talked to pretty much laughed at this," she wrote. "It's very not legit so I'm not concerned in the least that it's going to go anywhere.

"I called his law firm and this was apparently something he did "one his own time" and should have had the law firm logo on it."

Emily's podcast 'Been There Bestie' is available on Spotify and Apple.
