'Vengeful' singleton books alternate cinema seats to ruin V-day for couples

In an effort to mess up couples' movie plans for Valentine's Day, a single man booked every other seat at a cinema complex so that the loved-up pairs would not get to snuggle next to each other.

The man, known only as UP, who had broken up with his girlfriend in 2013, also urged other single people like himself to do the same after his own ticket purchase limit expired, the Daily Star reported.

UP's campaign against couples worked as many other singletons joined hands and booked more odd-numbered seats.

The unidentified man later asserted that his plot was simply a small joke on all lovers.
