Instead, diva daters are demanding that their would-be Romeos treat them to a car service \u2014 if not, consider the outing cancelled.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Pagnozzi, a New York City singleton, caused viral chaos after revealing she canceled a date when the guy refused to send a car to pick her up for the outing. instagram\/savannahpagnozzi\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"563\" height=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/e3503ab68fe44bca22e6616defe005ce.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Pagnozzi, a New York City singleton, caused viral chaos after revealing she canceled a date when the guy refused to send a car to pick her up for the outing. instagram\/savannahpagnozzi<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And the seemingly uppity ultimatum is causing an all-out virtual uproar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cOne of my rules is, if a man doesn\u2019t at least offer to send you a car for the date, whether you take it or not, no date!\u201d said Savannah Pagnozzi, a Big Apple lifestyle influencer,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DYswhoGOrbX\/?igsh=MWU1c3dzMmhxY2t5cA==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:in a viral vid;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;in a viral vid&quot;}\" class=\"link \">in a viral vid<\/a>. \u201cNo. Absolutely not. We don\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The brunette explained to her over 471,000 viewers that she had agreed to go out with a potential Prince Charming she\u2019d randomly met during an enchanted night on the town, complete with drinks and dancing. But when her dreamboat refused to call her a chariot ahead of their sweet appointment, scheduled on a rainy evening last week, things hit a sour note and Pagnozzi ultimately declined the date.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Unsurprisingly, her sky-high standards triggered an avalanche of hate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cPlease stop normalizing this behavior.

He just saved himself money for dinner and a car service,\u201d another critic quipped before wondering aloud, \u201cWhy does any man owe you a car service? Why do you women think men are ATMs and should pay for everything all the time?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cSend you a car?
