It would be nice to meet your one special person by having them pick you up out of a cab and carry you over a puddle before putting you on the horse they ride you off into the sunset on, but that’s often not exactly how it goes. And come on; are you really going to write somebody off who you think has potential all because the “how we met” story may be a bit embarrassing down the line? If your friends and family have a sense of humor, then they’ll love the story. Everybody else can go back to the fairytale book they live in—I bet it’s boring there. In a world where we share Ubers with total strangers while we are drunk and are seeing more and more public restrooms becoming gender neutral, it’s possible to meet your someone special in some pretty special circumstances. Here are not-so-classy ways people meet the one.

A toilet paper handoff

It’s that awful moment when there is only one square left and a wiping job that requires far more. But then, by chance, somebody walks in the bathroom! Maybe they can hand you some TP! Maybe you end up having a pretty funny back-and-forth while they wait for you to finish up. Maybe they’re pretty darn cute, actually.

A drive-thru dispute

When you’ve been out for a long night of drinking, ask your Uber driver to take you to Taco Bell, and the person in front of you at the drive thru is taking forever, that meter adds up. So you get out, stumble to the car in front of you to mention, “Hey other people are hungry back here dumb*ss—oh, you’re cute.”

Mandatory volunteer work

Nobody’s perfect, and if you happened to drive into a school crossing sign or get a very high speeding ticket, then you may be spending your weekends cleaning up highways for a while. But nobody said hot, funny guys don’t also get in trouble from time to time. Go on with your bad selves and your orange vests.
