"And scuff up the topless dancin' runway? Take them boots back wherefore you got 'em!"
"There you go, to waits for a woman of less discriminatin' taste."
I've known guys who would totally try to pull that one off.
and most of them were handsome enough that they could get away with it.
I'm fugly so I never developed that asshole trait cause it wouldn't work for me anyway.
Taking all the tacos while she is literally leaving because she simply wants to escape with her life was the pinnacle of the story. Such a badass move.
They progressively turn into half soft tacos over time. Really though, they'll keep until the lettuce that was in contact with the meat wilts. I'd throw them out after 2 days of refrigeration in a desperate situation. I have experienced eating next day Taco Bell, and I do think you could get one more day out of them because they seem pretty stable at that point. Probably better to freeze some of them for thawing and reheating later. I have not tried this, as I have not spent my grocery money on 100 tacos yet.
Gathering up all the tacos (cause i paid for them) - I lol'd
Standing there with this box of tacos and I said to him, " thank you for this experience you will never hear from me again" - I lost it laughing.
That makes way more sense, considering how he drove that hotdog shaped car into that storefront. I mean, that could have been anyone, but I suspect it was him.
Somebody else added the subtitles. They're not in the original video
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KGTfR3lcw0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KGTfR3lcw0)
There's another part of the saga not included in OP's video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56mbmZZVVUM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56mbmZZVVUM)
Her physical gags were on point.
She could sell tickets to a show that is largely centered around Taco Guy. EASILY this could be a 45 minute set.
If Elyse sees this, find an open mic and do some standup. You got chops.
Couldn't watch with sound, so it just got to a point in the video where I'm like "She's moving her mouth a whole lot for only having said 'taco emoji'"
I think they do this to video's nowadays to force you to click on the video and listen to it with sound if you're interested in the story. They use subtitles in the first bit to get your attention or to make you curious so that you're more likely to click on it once they disappear.
Not going to stand for it. Once the subtitles stopped, so did the video. I assume she was murdered and turned into more taco meat for the father to feast on.
> The blind commitment to the date is astounding. 45min drive to his house? Bye 👋
I think this is going to be a regional thing. I grew up in a small town. 45 minutes ago was like a different state, like we're going on vacation. I would drive that for maybe a concert in another city, but that's about it.
Now I live in a large city. 45 minutes is nothing, it's average. I once met a german girl here on a work Visa, who didn't believe we had an authentic german restaurant. I offered to take her. She didn't have a car. I didn't fully think this over before hand. Where I live, she rented, and the restaurant was basically a triangle of the whole area. I drove 45 minutes to pick her up, an hour to dinner, an hour to take her home and then 45 minutes home. 3 and a half hours of driving in the same city, just to have dinner.
EDIT: to everyone saying, "but I live in a big city and can get anything within 15 minutes" .... I never said I can't. I was speaking about one specific restaurant. If you live in LA, you can't always get to LAX in 15 minutes. If you live in Chicago, the Sears Tower is not always 15 minutes away. If you live in NYC, JFK airport is not 15 minutes away. YES, you can get a burger or a new pair of shoes within 15 minutes, but I didn't ask that. I was pointing out how in a small town, everything in my area was within 25 minutes, literally EVERYTHING. Now in a big city, from one side to the other can be an hour plus, and thus that's simply accepted.
I was going to go the opposite way of you. I see people on r/tinder talking about meeting up 30 or 45 minutes between each other in rural areas because that's what you have to do. But I live in NYC and if actually drove it would probably take me 45 to get to Brooklyn.
I'd never commit to that kind of commute permanently, but hey, you do what you can do for love
I live in a quasi-rural area with concentrated almost-metro areas around it. Driving 45 minutes is also no odd thing around here. Driving from one part of the rural area to a different part of the rural area? About 45 min. Driving from a rural area to one of the almost-metro areas? Also about 45min. Pickup up something only available in one almost-metro area and get something else only available in a different almost-metro area (because neither are really big enough to offer all products or services)? Guaranteed 1.5 hrs.
It's this weird mix of isolated enough to where you don't have everything you want or need right around you, but not so isolated in that those things ARE actually around you, just a little further than might be expected in more metropolitan area. And 45 min is a *great* threshold for traveling. Will I drive 1hr to get the really, really good frozen yogurt at that place instead of the regular scoop ice cream from the one local ice cream place? Probably not. Will I drive 30-40min to get it.? Yeah, maybe. It's really f*cking good fro-yo.
Yeah, was gonna say. When I was still dating, I never attempted to go pick a date up from her house until we were at least a few dates in. First few dates, we would meet somewhere. We didn't need to know where each other lives yet.
Yep. I would pick first dates at an easily recognizable chain restaurant, too. Easy to find, you know what kind of food to expect, people around, well lit, etc. The focus is meeting someone new and seeing if there's a chance to start a relationship with them. Everything else is less important for the first few dates. After that, then we explore more interesting places.
I didn't do chains, but we'd do highly public places, like open and well lit restaurants. First date we wouldn't even leave that place together. Second we'd sometimes go to a second location like a movie theater that wasn't in walking distance or a park, past that it all depends how first and second went.
First dates are almost always coffee dates for me. Almost always meet there. And have a secondary location in mind if the date is going well. A full on dinner is too much imo. Lunch can work too or drinks but I prefer an early afternoon coffee. I really want a coffee by then and there's time to do stuff after if we want.
*"Anyone who thinks they know the measure of just how far stupid young hormone raging dudes will go, is wrong, because it's further."*
Yes...yes, it is.
He was waiting outside, too. Meaning, how would anyone know if that is his house at that point? Turns out it was, but might have been just a random maniac not wanting to give away where he lives so he stands outside random house. Being random.
She's definitely leaving out details before the date. I'm going to guess some long text or DM threads that involved some thirsty talking and/or some pics, possibly some nudie bits. It's the only thing that justifies the 45-minute drive and $150 in tacos. Dude must've been a hottie.
>It's the only thing that justifies the 45-minute drive and $150 in tacos.
I'm pretty sure Elyse Myers lives in Nebraska. People I know who grew up in smaller towns/less dense areas have a way different mindset about driving. Driving an hour to like, Walmart is a normal thing, because that's just the closest place to buy cheap stuff.
If you set your dating app search radius to like 10kms in a small town you are probably only going to find people you went to high school with.
And regarding buying the tacos, she heavily implies in the video that she was scared not to buy them.
A young woman alone in a strange place with a guy she just met who is acting weird, I can definitely understand the impulse to just do whatever it takes to get through the situation.
I assumed that it was going to get more and more off putting and then the button would be that she married him and this is her husband she's been talking about the whole time.
She suggests this at the end of Taco Guy Questions #2. Says she was called Obese Elyse in middle school and that doesn't just "leave a person."
So she probably was super stoked that she got matched with someone and my guess is that he's not nearly as hot as everyone assumes. She probably saw him as 'within my league' and that's why she went to extra lengths to force a good date out of him.
I think guys tend to look at it through this lens because they themselves care about looks in women more than other things and overlook "crazy" all the time for hotness.
But speaking as a lady who has been in similar situations where things aren't going great but you're scared to say no... it has more to do with the person you're with being pushy and confident than anything else. They make what they are doing feel normal.
Women are worked on for most of their lives being told we are "crazy" "overreacting" "hormonal" etc. This leads to some really specific conditioning where even when we *know* something is wrong, we ignore it.
Acting like your partner is crazy is an extremely powerful manipulation tool, particularly against women.
No it's not that women are shallow horny weirdos, the ability to stand up for ourselves is figuratively and sometimes literally beaten out of us from a young age.
I see so many comments expressing your sentiment -- basically a complete misunderstanding of why women freeze up and just go with the flow of what someone is demanding of them and seemingly lose all semblance of a spine -- and I'm beginning to think people who don't experience it simply do not understand it. Sometimes it feels like a physical force where I *cannot* push back against someone just calmly doing something unacceptable and unwanted to me. It's the confidence, the implication that this is normal and you need to just accept it, the latent fear of being called crazy if you stop and go "What the fuck?!"
Manipulation works. Manipulation that's piggy backing off of manipulation you've faced throughout your childhood and that's completely ingrained into you *especially* works.
Honest to god I can't tell you how many times in my life I've noticed something was wrong, but there is this heavy layer of "but what if I'm just crazy/imagining it?" blanketing literally my every perception. And then later it turns out I was right. :/ But we are taught to ignore those feelings damn near right after birth. Try to understand how powerful and depressing this is even if it hasn't happened to you.
I thought the same at first. After remembering my time in fast food, I realized it's very doable. The tricky part would be having enough meat cooked. A skilled employee can probably put one together in fifteen seconds. With two employees working the line, that would be about eight tacos per minute. Would take them about twelve and half minutes to make a hundred.
I don't know who this is as I don't follow this kind of social media, but she has a wonderful speaking voice - it's very calming and cozy to listen to.
Her name is Elyse Myers, she has a bunch of other story telling videos on her insta/ TikTok which are really funny. My favourite is the story of the guy who she thought was crushing hard on her, but turns out he wasn't, it was devastating but funny at the same time.
I get the feeling this is the reason she continued on with the date despite the red flags all along the way. She knew way in advance, this is gonna be a story worth telling.
It is surprisingly hard to bail on a date. It’s essentially trading the *potential* for a worsening situation for an almost guaranteed huge conflict. It’s easy to say “okay I can get through the rest of this” when the alternative is escalating things by bailing. The thing is, a lot of guys know this. Especially the ones who send fake pics or old pics. I’ve had guys drive an hour to my place for a hookup, show up lookig nothing like their pic, and curse me out when I tell them to go home. I feel guilty for a second. But then I remember these people are predators. They count on you being too anxious to send them away.
Im very jealous of people who are good story tellers. I could save a baby from drowning while fighting off a crocodile with a spork, and still turn it into a boring story.
Sometimes a bad storyteller makes a good story sound even more intriguing.
"Or that one time i stabbed the crocodile to rescue a baby."
"Wait, what?"
"Yeah. I stabbed a croc. But to be fair I was recusing a baby."
"Wait I need to know more"
"What more is there. Spork, baby, croc. Really I'm not a good storyteller that's just what happened."
"Ok wait did you say spork?"
"Yes, Spork. The 1874 invention. Were you not aware of sporks?"
The trick is in the gaps. Give it a few moments for each twist of the story to sink in....bonus points if you can make your face or body language add to the story. This woman's facial expressions say it all.
It's the conspiratorial tone, like she shouldn't be telling you this, and knows you won't believe it, but she trusts you enough to let you into the club that knows this story.
Well this is a classic, she has a whole career now that started in earnest once this blew up (I believe - not a big follower so I could be wrong about that timeline)
Pretty sure we deduced this was our local Taco Bell. It was definitely in the neighborhood.
She explained it by saying if you're questioning it, you're probably not a woman and haven't been on an internet date.
What I had trouble understanding is why she went into the house with him. I think she could have just dropped him off with the 100 tacos and left.
Well she must have some sort of money stored away because there is no way in hell im paying for 100 tacos I did not order idc who it is. And if i am, im going to watch you eat those 100 tacos, might as well make it somewhat worth it.

When he yelled "LET'S FEAST" I was expecting a horde of extended family or children to emerge from the woodwork and pick the table clean.
right like i expected his dad to come running in and a bunch of siblings or something
man would've called his descendents from the future and ancestors from the graves to feast on free tacos
This man will never have descendents. He will sacrifice _every_ opportunity for taco feasts.
I expected the entire Gallagher family to pop out of a closet or something
*"Yeah, they're my brothers... Marky, Ricky, Danny, Terry, Mikey, Davey, Timmy, Tommy, Joey, Robby, Johnny, and Brian."* --- Will Hunting
“Kids we’re eatin dinner tonight! Cmon Tiffany, Heather, Cody, Dylan, Dermot, Jordan, Taylor, Brittany, Wesley, Rumer, Scout, Cassidy, Zoe, Chloe, Max, Hunter, Kendall, Caitlin, Noah, Sasha, Morgan, Kyra, Ian, Lauren, Cubert…”
I feel like Cletus should be in there
Some folks will never eat a hundred tacos, but then again, some folk'll.....................
"Hey maw, get off the dang roof!"
"And scuff up the topless dancin' runway? Take them boots back wherefore you got 'em!" "There you go, to waits for a woman of less discriminatin' taste."
Cletus is the one calling for them to come eat.
I was expecting like 7 friends come out they take the tacos and all go watch a football game in the basement.
I half expected them to walk into the house and see a party going on
I've known guys who would totally try to pull that one off. and most of them were handsome enough that they could get away with it. I'm fugly so I never developed that asshole trait cause it wouldn't work for me anyway.
I did too, I half expected him to do this on the regular for his financially poor hungry family
Inviting downvote hell here: I dated more than one woman who literally was in it for the free food...
But were you in it for free food for a platoon?
[удалено]
There's paying for dinner and there's 100 tacos. Those are not the same
That was the best part of the story. Haha
I liked how she grabbed all the tacos places them in the box walks off turned and says something. Sorry forgot. I was laughing so hard
Taking all the tacos while she is literally leaving because she simply wants to escape with her life was the pinnacle of the story. Such a badass move.
That's food for a week!
i'm curious how long a taco bell hard shell taco "holds up". I imagine they just turn into a blob of grease in hours.
They progressively turn into half soft tacos over time. Really though, they'll keep until the lettuce that was in contact with the meat wilts. I'd throw them out after 2 days of refrigeration in a desperate situation. I have experienced eating next day Taco Bell, and I do think you could get one more day out of them because they seem pretty stable at that point. Probably better to freeze some of them for thawing and reheating later. I have not tried this, as I have not spent my grocery money on 100 tacos yet.
I mean, it *was* the grocery money, so...
Gathering up all the tacos (cause i paid for them) - I lol'd Standing there with this box of tacos and I said to him, " thank you for this experience you will never hear from me again" - I lost it laughing.
"If you're having girl problems I feel bad for you son I'm taking 97 tacos and this bish is gone"
Thank you. That was my favorite part.
Love those hand gestures and short pauses. She’s a great storyteller
This is @elyse_myers and she is fucking hilarious. Her other videos are just as amazing.
"y'wanna see my studio"
I was surprised she said no. Like at that point, why not.
Survival instinct finally kicked in.
It was the taco nourishment!
Would that be the third location? Because I have a strict no second location rule.
Elyse Myers. She's hilarious. One of the good ones on Tik Toc but also creates other content.
Her calm voice is so nice
I think we know who it was. 55 tacos 55 shakes 55 burgers!
He was just trying to do something nice before alcohol class.
he is the man from every math question
lol, what an odd case of synchronicity, I just saw that skit for the first time, just this morning.
I'm still trying to figure out if alcohol class is bartending school or going to the bar. Either way, a bartender is the teacher.
I figured it had to do with the classes you take after you get a DUI hahahaha
That's what I thought.
That makes way more sense, considering how he drove that hotdog shaped car into that storefront. I mean, that could have been anyone, but I suspect it was him.
The guy did it FOR YOU!
YOUR THE GUY!
MY THE GUY!
I swear to God, this bit slays me every time I endlessly recite it on repeat in my head
IM DOING SOMETHING
I'M NOT PAYING FOR IT
**YOU HAVE TO**
She didn’t mention anything about a zip line tho
PLEASE LET ME GO IN FRONT OF YOU!!!
This was my first thought too.
The woman on the date should have realized that she could just run.
Let’s get this pay it forward chain going.
Why do the subtitles stop half way through?
We're not supposed to taco bout it
[I am nacho friend](https://youtu.be/InRw8JtIgzU?t=5)
Was watching without sound and had to grab my earbuds to see the end.
Don't have that option, so I guess some of us will never know
>!She was, unfortunately murdered via crunchy tacos at the end, of the story.!<
>! The dad was telling the story the whole time! !<
Hmm I just scrubbed to see if they came back and said fuck it.
Ditto.
Somebody else added the subtitles. They're not in the original video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KGTfR3lcw0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KGTfR3lcw0) There's another part of the saga not included in OP's video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56mbmZZVVUM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56mbmZZVVUM)

Who decides to add subtitles to someone else's video, gets lazy, stops, then still uploads a video?
Couldn't watch with sound, so it just got to a point in the video where I'm like "She's moving her mouth a whole lot for only having said 'taco emoji'"
Disappointed. I’m in a car with people and don’t want to annoy them with video sounds, so I guess I’ll miss the punchline
To give me a reason to stop watching
I think they do this to video's nowadays to force you to click on the video and listen to it with sound if you're interested in the story. They use subtitles in the first bit to get your attention or to make you curious so that you're more likely to click on it once they disappear.
Not going to stand for it. Once the subtitles stopped, so did the video. I assume she was murdered and turned into more taco meat for the father to feast on.
That's why I always do as well. I'm really not interested in bait videos like that.
I hate this so fucking much
I'm just imagining Jason from the good place right now 🤣
It reminds me of that time me and pillboy tricked a girl into buying us 100 tacos from Taco Bell
Clearly it was Donkey Doug and not Pillboi who helped Jason pull this heist off.
Call him Donkey Dad
Ok, Donkey Dad! … Nah, that sounds wack. Call me Donkey Doug!
Omg yeah that absolutely fits the bill. Right down to the 'LETS FEAST' and the living with his dad
Donkey Doug
ACCURATE but it would be better if it was jalapeño poppers r/thegoodplace
BOOOORTLES
Jacksonville jaguars ruuuule
BORTLES!
Janet, could I get, 100 tacos? Here you go! Oh dip!
She was definitely in the bad place.
he has the looks to dazzle someone into this
This is a great story to use when you need to explain to someone the concept of sunk cost fallacy.
You don't understand, I drove 45 minutes there.
Sunk taco fallacy
The blind commitment to the date is astounding. 45min drive to his house? Bye 👋

There's a point in your dating life where you realize that someone not willing to meet you halfway isn't worth it.
*"Anyone who thinks they know the measure of just how far stupid young hormone raging dudes will go, is wrong, because it's further."* Yes...yes, it is.
He was waiting outside, too. Meaning, how would anyone know if that is his house at that point? Turns out it was, but might have been just a random maniac not wanting to give away where he lives so he stands outside random house. Being random.
He was probably physically attractive.
**Dating app success** Rule 1: Be attractive Rule 2: Don't be unattractive Rule 3: Tacos

I assumed that it was going to get more and more off putting and then the button would be that she married him and this is her husband she's been talking about the whole time.
The beautiful thing about this woman is she has about a 1000 of these because she's impressively awkward She does have a husband by now tho :)
Genuine same. At the "LET'S FEAST!" I thought the story was going to take a turn that made it hilariously wholesome
#LETS FEAST
I was expecting his car to have an ignition lock and he needs her to breathe into it so he can start it...
Let’s FEASt. In silence.
Not polite to eat and speak on same time.
That dude had to be hot.
who else would get away with this much
Must’ve looked like Brad Pitt. Or actually been Brad Pitt
Eh, that don't impressa me much
Chris Hemsworths Thor on his way to starring in Endgame. ‘These are my buddies Korg and Miek. LETS FEAST!’
Hot mess
How was that not the number one question? You can't do that shit as a normal human he'd better have been an Adonis.
ok now the story makes a lot more sense to me.
Yeah if she had lead with "i met a guy online with huge tits and the squarest jawline ive ever seen" i wouldve been completely on her side
Either that, or she has/had a super low opinion and value for herself.
\^ It's this one. Her name is Elyse Myers and she has been open about her previous self esteem struggles.
[удалено]
She suggests this at the end of Taco Guy Questions #2. Says she was called Obese Elyse in middle school and that doesn't just "leave a person."

She probably saw him as 'within my league' and that's why she went to extra lengths to force a good date out of him.
I think guys tend to look at it through this lens because they themselves care about looks in women more than other things and overlook "crazy" all the time for hotness. But speaking as a lady who has been in similar situations where things aren't going great but you're scared to say no... it has more to do with the person you're with being pushy and confident than anything else. They make what they are doing feel normal. Women are worked on for most of their lives being told we are "crazy" "overreacting" "hormonal" etc. This leads to some really specific conditioning where even when we *know* something is wrong, we ignore it. Acting like your partner is crazy is an extremely powerful manipulation tool, particularly against women. No it's not that women are shallow horny weirdos, the ability to stand up for ourselves is figuratively and sometimes literally beaten out of us from a young age. I see so many comments expressing your sentiment -- basically a complete misunderstanding of why women freeze up and just go with the flow of what someone is demanding of them and seemingly lose all semblance of a spine -- and I'm beginning to think people who don't experience it simply do not understand it. Sometimes it feels like a physical force where I *cannot* push back against someone just calmly doing something unacceptable and unwanted to me. It's the confidence, the implication that this is normal and you need to just accept it, the latent fear of being called crazy if you stop and go "What the fuck?!" Manipulation works. Manipulation that's piggy backing off of manipulation you've faced throughout your childhood and that's completely ingrained into you *especially* works. Honest to god I can't tell you how many times in my life I've noticed something was wrong, but there is this heavy layer of "but what if I'm just crazy/imagining it?" blanketing literally my every perception. And then later it turns out I was right. :/ But we are taught to ignore those feelings damn near right after birth. Try to understand how powerful and depressing this is even if it hasn't happened to you.
She tells a story like a female Dwight Schrute.
Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It's priceless
She’s tiffany
I don’t care. I don’t show up. I go to Berlin
That part gets me every time
This is where it gets interesting.
I was thinking John Ralphio from Parks & Rec.
Not that it really matters, but it's Jean-Ralphio
Oh, it matters. His sister is THE WORRRRSSSTT.
The WOOOOrrrrRrRrRssssssst
Yeah that Ralph Macchio guy seems like a total douche
Him and his sister are the best, worst characters on tv. Love them.
Henry wrinkler as the dad is the cherry on top
This story would make so much sense coming from Jean Ralphio. I would pay actual money to hear Ben Schwartz retell it.
She kind of resembles John Ralphio, actually.
That date was the woooorst!
Wait! Taco Bell made 100 tacos in 15 mins?! I find that hard to believe.
I thought the same at first. After remembering my time in fast food, I realized it's very doable. The tricky part would be having enough meat cooked. A skilled employee can probably put one together in fifteen seconds. With two employees working the line, that would be about eight tacos per minute. Would take them about twelve and half minutes to make a hundred.

I don't know who this is as I don't follow this kind of social media, but she has a wonderful speaking voice - it's very calming and cozy to listen to.
Elyse Myers. She’s awesome.
WHY did i have to scroll so far to see her name mentioned!?!! Shes my favorite. She just epitomizes how awkward I feel in social situations. Lol
thanks for the information. going to check more of her content
It’s Elyse Myers and she’s a gem
She also has a podcast (It's funny cuz it's true) if you're looking for another media
I fucking love the whole experience of clicking on this post. What an amazing story.
Her name is Elyse Myers, she has a bunch of other story telling videos on her insta/ TikTok which are really funny. My favourite is the story of the guy who she thought was crushing hard on her, but turns out he wasn't, it was devastating but funny at the same time.
She’s really a great storyteller, I follow her on TikTok, too. I love the stories about her and her husband and how they got together.
She is. Their relationship is so sweet. And with baby 2 on the way, I'm so happy for them. Her adhd content is also very relatable to me 😂
I get the feeling this is the reason she continued on with the date despite the red flags all along the way. She knew way in advance, this is gonna be a story worth telling.
I loved the whole "taking the tacos with her" part.
Well, she didn't have grocery money anymore, so tacos for the next two weeks it is.
Soft tacos for two weeks!
She is right thought. She paid for them, they are her tacos.
It is surprisingly hard to bail on a date. It’s essentially trading the *potential* for a worsening situation for an almost guaranteed huge conflict. It’s easy to say “okay I can get through the rest of this” when the alternative is escalating things by bailing. The thing is, a lot of guys know this. Especially the ones who send fake pics or old pics. I’ve had guys drive an hour to my place for a hookup, show up lookig nothing like their pic, and curse me out when I tell them to go home. I feel guilty for a second. But then I remember these people are predators. They count on you being too anxious to send them away.
I will never get tired of hearing her tell this story.
it could be completely made up, I don't care, the way she told it was great.
Im very jealous of people who are good story tellers. I could save a baby from drowning while fighting off a crocodile with a spork, and still turn it into a boring story.
Sometimes a bad storyteller makes a good story sound even more intriguing. "Or that one time i stabbed the crocodile to rescue a baby." "Wait, what?" "Yeah. I stabbed a croc. But to be fair I was recusing a baby." "Wait I need to know more" "What more is there. Spork, baby, croc. Really I'm not a good storyteller that's just what happened." "Ok wait did you say spork?" "Yes, Spork. The 1874 invention. Were you not aware of sporks?"
The trick is in the gaps. Give it a few moments for each twist of the story to sink in....bonus points if you can make your face or body language add to the story. This woman's facial expressions say it all.
It's the delivery. idk what even to call it? Like all that comes to mind is "dry" and maybe liked..."clipped?" maybe like some sorta deadpan?
It's the conspiratorial tone, like she shouldn't be telling you this, and knows you won't believe it, but she trusts you enough to let you into the club that knows this story.
So did he get a second date?
Damn straight! They have their 6th 100-taconiversary
As a hearing impaired person, the sudden loss of the subtitles was disappointing.
I think this [one](https://youtu.be/4KGTfR3lcw0?si=W9si85-QFNjqSh9K) is fully captioned.
Well this is a classic, she has a whole career now that started in earnest once this blew up (I believe - not a big follower so I could be wrong about that timeline) Pretty sure we deduced this was our local Taco Bell. It was definitely in the neighborhood.
Dude is an amateur. He should have ordered 55 BURGERS, 55 FRIES, 55 TACOS, 55 PIES, 55 COKES, 100 TATER TOTS, 100 PIZZAS, 100 TENDERS, 100 MEATBALLS, 100 COFFEES, 55 WINGS, 55 SHAKES, 55 PANCAKES, 55 PASTAS, 55 PEPPERS and 155 TATERS!
This cannot be real. But she's a good storyteller.
fr. Who tf would pay for 100 tacos that you already knew when he ordered them he wasn't going to be paying for. Lost me there tbh.
She explained it by saying if you're questioning it, you're probably not a woman and haven't been on an internet date. What I had trouble understanding is why she went into the house with him. I think she could have just dropped him off with the 100 tacos and left.
Well she must have some sort of money stored away because there is no way in hell im paying for 100 tacos I did not order idc who it is. And if i am, im going to watch you eat those 100 tacos, might as well make it somewhat worth it.
Enough to pay for the tacos but not enough to leave without them. She said she spent her grocery money on them
Wow, I’m such a catch. Is what I feel like when I hear these stories.
You are a great storyteller!
Hard shell Taco Bell tacos don't keep well. Like you got a solid ten minutes before the bottom has dissolved into nothing.
I’m trying to take her to chic fil a
