Off-Duty Cop Gets Hailed As Hero After Saving A Girl From Her Terrible Date

#1 Most of us have been on a terrible date, a date so terrible we wish the earth would swallow us up, just so we could get away from it.

Dates like this are pretty awkward, and there’s very rarely a way out of them.

Either the person you're on a date with is just an out right creep, or they're boring as hell! Either way, you don’t want to be on a date with them.

#2 According to the post, a guy who goes by the username ThrowAwayForPancakes, overhead a girl being threatened by her date at a restaurant.

#3 While he was out for dinner with his girlfriend, he overheard a girl being threatened by her date.

#4 He was being a complete douchebag and saying some pretty disturbing things, so ThrowAwayForPancakes decided to step in.

#5 However, as he got up and intervene, he was stopped by an older man. An off duty cop in fact.

Very quickly the situation took an unexpected twist.

#6 What happened next was absolutely awesome as the police officer taught the guy a lesson he probably wouldn’t forget.

So, possibly one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. I mean you know how you hear the “women want him, men want to be him” stuff in old movies? Well, I’m a man and by god, I wanted to be this guy. Anyway!

I’m having dinner with my girlfriend at the time, and behind us are a couple on a date. It is.. not going well. The guy was being rather creepy and making some pretty inappropriate comments, the girl doesn’t look at all comfortable.

The girl finishes her appetizer really quickly, my guess is she wanted to get it over with. Guy proceeds to comment on it and says “well, least I know you can swallow right?”. Loudly.

Girl goes red and tells him that isn’t appropriate, he literally waves his hand in a “shoo” type motion and says “oh calm down I was going to find out in a few hours anyway”.

I missed her exact reply as she moved to a hushed tone, but it was fairly obvious what was being said – fuck no, fuck off, fuck this. He responded with “sweetheart I picked you up, I know where you live”. She lost the color in her face and said nothing.

No. No. F**k no. I’m one of those “get involved” types of people and there is no way I’m sitting here watching this go down. I get up. I don’t know what I’m going to do, but I’m 23, fighting fit and happy to put that motherf***er through a wall. I may have had a slight temper in my youth. But anyway.

I was halfway out of my chair when a hand came down on my shoulder and I look up to this mid-50s but super fit guy who says “Easy. I’ve got this one son”. Absolute, total confidence in his voice.. so seeing as my current plan amounted to “stab him in the neck” and I’m already thinking maybe that’s not the best idea, I sit down.

He walks over, grabs a nearby chair, flips it around and sits down with the couple. Then.. he pulls out his police ID and puts it on the table. Now the guy doesn’t have any color in his face.

Guy: “I, ah, well, um, you see..”

Cop: “That’s what I thought. Now see, we take a very dim view of that kind of thing, so right now I’m deciding if I want to have some of my buddies come pick you up.”

Guy: “oh no well that…”

Cop: “But that would disrupt everyone’s dinner, so how about you hand me your ID, because I wouldn’t want you running off on me, then you go see one of the staff here and settle your bill.. the full bill now, this young lady shouldn’t go hungry on account of your poor behaviour. Or we can go with the first option, I’ll leave it up to you.”

Guy: “No no! That’s perfectly fine!” *hands over ID gets up and walks very quickly in the direction of the counter*

Cop: *while writing down the guys details* “Sorry about that miss, I hope I’m not intruding it just seemed like you could use some help. Oh and don’t worry, if you want to pursue this further I’ll have some of the boys pick him up on his way home, we can definitely take this further.”

Girl: “No, thank you so much, I wanted to run out 30 minutes ago but he drove me here”.

Cop: *shifts from hard-arse cop to comforting father figure in about half a second* “Well I’m here with my daughter, she’s about your age, perhaps you’d like to finish your meal with us? We can run you home afterward if you’d like unless you’d prefer to call someone else?”

Girl: “Oh.. that would be really nice. thank you so much!”

*guy returns, so does the hard-arse cop*

Guy: “Uh so, I’ve paid the bill, if I could have my ID back..”.

Cop: “There you go.. now I have your details right here so I highly recommend you don’t go near or contact this young lady ever again.”

Guy: “Yes yes, of course, I’m so sorry!”

The guy pretty much fled the restaurant, the girl went and sat with the cop and his family and by the time we left they were still sitting around talking and laughing about random crap.

It was hands down the best way I have ever seen anybody handle any situation, ever. That cop is my hero.

#12 ThrowAwayForPancakes commented further on this unknown cop’s actions

#13 Now people are calling him a true hero.

#14 “Being a girl, this (story) makes me happy!”

#15 The internet was very impressed with how the cop dealt with the situation and quickly commended his actions.

#16 Of course, people also praised ThrowAwayForPancakes for being ready to lend a hand.

Thank you Unknown Police Officer for stepping in to help this young woman! You’re incredible!
