This TikToker Went Viral After Her Date Outrageously Invoiced Her $4 For The Coffee He Offered To Buy Her One Week Earlier
Katlyn Phipps thought she had a fine first date with a man she met on Hinge. They decided to go out for coffee, and Katlyn– who leads an insanely hectic schedule– did not think anything of it afterward.
Then, about a week later, she woke up to a text from the man asking for his money back. It was a whopping four dollars for a coffee that he even offered to pay for.
After posting a screenshot of the text exchange, Katlyn went viral on her TikTok account, @Katlyn_Phipps.
“So I just woke up. Why did you request four dollars?” Katlyn asked in response to an ApplePay request.
“I assume the second try for breakfast is canceled by now, so that’s for the coffee last week since it seems like we are never gonna go out again,” the man texted back, “Really just don’t understand what games you are trying to play.”
Katlyn set the video to the trending song Circles by Megan Thee Stallion. She also captioned the video, “Things men have: the audacity.”
The TikTok immediately blew up, garnering over two hundred and fifty thousand views. Comments poured in that both bashed the man’s actions and begged Katlyn to share the rest of the messages.
“Request him for wasted time,” commented one user.

“Girl, if you don’t show us the rest,” commented another.
Thankfully, Katlyn made a follow-up video that included her savage come back to the man.
“Okay, let me be crystal clear so that we’re on the same page. Let’s get some things straight before I humble your ego,” Katlyn began.
“Fact number one, I am a full-time student, as well as a part-to-full-time employee. Fact number two, I have an extremely sick mother back home who needs my help doing basic tasks. She will always come before any random ‘man’ I’ve met on social media.”
“I will absolutely not apologize for putting my education and family before anyone else. I’m sorry I am a busy person, but it is what it is.”
“I didn’t know I had to make long-term commitments after getting food with you once. I’m sorry that the lack of my presence has hurt your ego so badly that you felt the need to request four dollars for a coffee. I will be more than happy to send you that since it must’ve broken the bank,” Katlyn continued.
“Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let me be crystal clear when I say this– no, I will not be able to meet with you this weekend. How about instead of your petty comments, you try and be understanding of someone with a busy schedule.”
“Your lack of communication and understanding has clarified that this will not be progressing into anything more. Thank you, and have a blessed weekend,” Katlyn finished and even added a blushing face emoji.
At the end of her video, Katlyn also says that this man is the reason she will “end up alone.”
“All men are trash,” she added before signing off.
But, her TikTok followers believe otherwise.
“Your communication skills show that you will not end up alone. Instead, you will end up with someone who respects you!” commented one user, whose sentiment received over six hundred likes in agreement.
“Dating is ultimately a learning experience. Eventually, you will meet someone to learn and grow together,” commented another user.
Besides the uplifting and supportive comments, though, the TikTok community again begged for the man’s response text. Katlyn posted that, too.
“I guess you forgot the part where you’re the one that told me, like five times, that you wanted to go out again. If you don’t have time or don’t want to, then why don’t you just say that instead of leading someone down a false path?” the man asked.
To this, Katlyn decided to say nothing.
“I think he is just delusional,” she said.
Katlyn claims that she never asked to see him again. Besides that, she simply felt like the man did not deserve any more of her wasted energy.
“I did not respond since I didn’t think it was worth it. I already said what I needed to say,” Katlyn concluded her three-part date series.
Unfortunately, so many other stories– just like Katlyn’s– have also begun circulating social media in recent months. Is requesting money back some kind of new technological jab? What would you do if a date asked you to refund them? And to watch the original TikTok video, click the link here.
