Your dream has come true. You finally meet that special guy.

It's the third date. Time to seal the deal. He takes you out for a fancy dinner, or maybe he even cooks for you. Maybe a walk under the moonlight, or along the beach.

He takes you back to his place. Soft music low on the stereo, a bottle of wine.

The making out is hot and heavy. You look deep into his eyes. This could be the one.

You both stumble, undressing into the bedroom. And then you get a good look at the sheets.

These sheets.

Sheets covered in little tiny crabs.

Thanks, Ross Store, for the lovely visual. I can't imagine why these sheets didn't sell in the retail store.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.

If this story helped you today, please become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission. It just takes 1 minute to donate below.

Your tax-deductible donation keeps LAist independent and accessible to everyone.
