We&#8217;ve got our share of these stories, but we really want to hear yours.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe your spouse&#8217;s reaction to your 18 TB video collection of bendy redheads wasn&#8217;t all that positive. Maybe you drunk dialed your ex on Skype. Maybe you learned that power cords aren&#8217;t the best idea when it comes to kinky restraints. Maybe your date rudely checked her email in the middle of dessert and proceeded to pull out a second phone to continue reading after you teasingly confiscated her first. (I&#8217;m sorry! Won&#8217;t do it again. Call me?)<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the details, I want to hear about how gadgets or technology interfered with your love life. So send your stories to me with the subject of &#8220;Bad Valentine Tales&#8221; and we can share the horror.<\/p>\n<p><i>Picture by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sunshinecity\/3403660991\/\">sunshinecity<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p><br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=76ee0ffbc6df3a7999e279ed8657c0fc&#038;p=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" style=\"border: 0;\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/img.phdo?s=76ee0ffbc6df3a7999e279ed8657c0fc&#038;p=1\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" style=\"display:none\" src=\"http:\/\/a.rfihub.com\/eus.gif?eui=2226\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=7Y2z0eLf-io:hXwufYsXs7c:H0mrP-F8Qgo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?d=H0mrP-F8Qgo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=7Y2z0eLf-io:hXwufYsXs7c:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=7Y2z0eLf-io:hXwufYsXs7c:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?i=7Y2z0eLf-io:hXwufYsXs7c:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=7Y2z0eLf-io:hXwufYsXs7c:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?i=7Y2z0eLf-io:hXwufYsXs7c:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/gizmodo\/full\/~4\/7Y2z0eLf-io\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gadget lust can get in the way of romance&mdash;like when your dinner date checks her email over dessert or live-tweets the entire encounter.
