Police at a college in Maryland have warned to be on the lookout for a woman who was seen roaming around campus and approaching students to find someone to go on a date with her son.
Now just think about how horrified you would be to see one of your parents mooching about your place of education. Just that alone is bad enough.
I mean, if my mum parked too close to college, I nearly had to go in to hiding for 12 hours. Don't even get me started on the day I had my lunch sent in to maths because I forgot it.
If you thought that was bad enough, imagine how you'd feel when you realised she was actually trying to bag you a date. M.O.R.T.I.F.Y.I.N.G.

Well, you can feel sorry for one bloke who goes to Towson University because his own mother was approaching his fellow peers.
This was enough for the police to get involved but, according to the New York Post, she is not facing any criminal charges. She is, however, going to be asked to stop. And rightly so if you ask me.
There was a message sent to the University's campus last week which read: "The Towson University Police Department is investigating three related incidents occurring in the Cook Library and Center for the Arts buildings on February 6 and 7, 2019.

"Students have reported being approached by an older female who attempted to show them a picture on her cell phone and ask if they were interested in dating her son.
"The subject of interest is described as a female, appearing to be in her 50s, with glasses, wearing blue jeans and a striped long sleeve shirt with red trim along the bottom, a multi-colored scarf, brown shoes and carrying a dark colored coat.
"This incident advisory is being provided in order to make the TU Community aware of an incident on campus that may cause concern.
Advert
"This advisory is intended to heighten awareness and inform the community of incidents that may impact their safety and security."
You would run home, go to your room, pack your things and get on your toes, wouldn't you? Fingers crossed this is the one and only time she's going to try and get her kid a date.
Maybe there's just a bit of excessive sympathy for her son in the days before Valentine's Day. We doubt he's arsed anymore...
