Then you wait for at least a nice dinner, since everything else went wrong, but the dinner sucked (-3) and the guy's ex is there (-4). If it was only one or two things, then maybe you brush it off and say "mistakes happen." However, when more and more unpleasant things happen in a row, it is hard to feel great on any day, but especially Valentine's Day, when you see all the couples together and having a great time. You'd feel like you'd want to have a great time too.
Really, Tone redeemed himself nicely on her birthday. :)
