Everyone has a few tales to tell when it comes to bad dates .
However, one TikTok influencer recently blew the majority of bad date stories out of the water with her story about the man and the 100 tacos — which incidentally also sounds like the world’s worst bond film.
Elyse Myers was asked by her followers to describe the worst date she had ever been on.
Myers captioned the story of her worst date “I haven’t been to a @tacobell since,” which can probably give you a bit of a heads up where this rollercoaster of emotion is heading.
Just like all the best dating stories, this one starts with a match on a dating website.
Myers starts by clarifying that this took place before she met her now-husband, and it’s not a shock that she didn’t end up marrying the guy from this tale.
“This man messages me out of the blue and he goes, ‘I like your face, let’s go get some food […] I will drive us to the restaurant together,’ she started by explaining.
“I drove 45 minutes to his house. He’s standing outside of that. He walks up to my car and he goes, ‘I’ve lost my keys. Can you drive us there?’ Should I have just left him right there and gone home? Yes. Did I? Absolutely not.”
The guy then directs her to the Taco Bell drive thru, which is where things get wild.
“We end up at a Taco Bell, which is fine. I’m, like, ‘Dine or drive-thru?’ and he’s, like, ‘Drive-thru’,” Myers recounts, before dropping the bombshell:
“We get to the speaker and he just leans over and goes, ‘I would like 100 hardshell tacos. Thank you’.”
Since the guy had conveniently forgotten his wallet, this set Myers back $149!
The fact that she actually paid blew my mind, but let’s park that for the moment.
The guy then tells her to drive back to his house, with the hundred tacos, which she does! When they get there, his dad is sat on the couch, so the guy takes her into the kitchen, pulls two chairs up to the kitchen table, tips the bag of tacos out, then shouts, “LET’S FEAST!”
To top it all off, the guy’s father then heads into the kitchen and asks her if she wants to see his “studio.”
“The dad walks up, grabs a taco — there’s 100 of them we have so many to spare,” she explains. “He’s eating over us, just standing, doesn’t sit, stands right next to the table, crunches mouthfuls […] He just looks at me and he goes, ‘Do you want to see my studio?'”
Out of fear of being murdered, Myers then left the house — after boxing up all of her remaining tacos! I cannot say that I would have been keen to hang around, but she paid for those tacos!
The video has since racked up over 2.4 million likes.
And it is easy to see why the video (which you can watch below) has become such a smash hit. How often do you end up being lulled into purchasing 100 tacos as a part of a date? I will admit that I feel a bit better about the daft things I have said and/or done on previous dates now.
RELATED STORIES
Myers has since had to post an update answering the plethora of questions that people had about “Taco Guy.”
One question that a lot of people had was “What did you talk about while you waited [for the tacos].” The absolutely amazing answer was “his ex girlfriend.”
I do not think that I have heard a worse first date story before, but if you think that you have one to beat this then be sure to let us know in the comments…if you can bear to, of course.
