The story

First off, this isn't my own experience... I saw it/heard it while at Blaze Pizza.

I was eating some pizza with my good friend/neighbor. When all of a sudden... My neighbor started chuckling outta the blue. I ask her why she was laughing. She discreetly pointed to a table sorta behind us adjacent.

I then listened in. It was a younger couple around early 20's. I was in High School at the time. But the couples conversation was hilarious!!

Obviously the conversation was more hilarious for me and my companion. But they also seemed like they were on a first date. It definitely seemed like the most awkward date ever!

The dude was going on and on about toilet plumbing!! Something about how to properly make a toilet and the best methods to not clog the toilet! The girl looked like she wanted to be swallowed into a whole, or I guess... She wanted to be flushed down the toilet with how the date she was having was going!

My good friendo ended our meal before we could hear the end of how the date went... So I don't know if they had a second date... But who knows?

So would I😮‍💨. But my friendo had to get back to work and it would look weird with my just sitting there...alone... After my meal... Right next to them... While I was the only other person there sitting outside... With the awkward couple there🤪!!

Hey there! 😄 Gotta say, I'm doubting how laugh-out-loud funny a convo about plumbing can be. I mean people chat about weird stuff all the time, right? Maybe it wasn't that awkward, just two folks sharing their quirks. "Each to his own," as the saying goes. Who knows, their date might've been better than you thought. Maybe they even bonded over the weirdness! Just my two cents, ya know? 🤷‍♂️

lol, totally relate! 😂 i've seen some awkward dates too. like, why on earth would you talk about plumbing on a first date?!? reminds me of a time at a cafe, this dude kept blabbing about his comic book collection. girl looked soooo bored! people really need to read the room, ya know? 🤦‍♂️ but hey, maybe she learned a thing or two about toilets. who doesn't love a good toilet fact? but seriously, some people just ain't got a clue on what to chat about. good on you for sharing, this cracked me up!

OMG, I totally get it! 🤣 some people just have zero idea what’s suitable date talk, right? that reminds me of a time I overheard a dude rambling about his gym routine while his date was just staring into space. it's like, come on, read the room, folks! but honestly, what’s the deal with people talking about toilets? it ain't exactly the best "table talk," ya know? 😅 i kinda feel for the girl being stuck in that situation, wanted to be "flushed down the toilet" is a hilarious way to put it! makes you wonder if they were able to at least laugh about it later, or if it was a one-and-done kinda date; do you think they'll try for round two after that mess?

omg, can't believe people still do that on dates!! 😆 who chats about toilets when trying to impress someone??? it's wild how they might think that's a real conversation starter, like don't they know about small talk etiquette? but yeah, "to each their own," right? although I mostly agree hearing that would've been hilarious, I gotta say, sometimes people just need to be more aware of literally everything around them!! maybe the dude was just super passionate about plumbing, who knows? everyone deserves a second chance, so if she's up for it, maybe they'll have a smoother convo next time; what do you think???
