Today, I told my coworkers that I was going on a date tonight so they would think I have a social life. One of them spotted me while I was eating alone at McDonalds. FML

CreamGravy tells us more.

Well to be honest I made the whole thing up because I got tired of being that one guy at work who can't get a girlfriend. It's a small place, there are only 8 of us who work there, and I'm the only one that's single, so I get jokes about it quite a lot. They're nothing bad, I know it's all in fun, but yesterday someone made yet another joke about it and for some reason I just blurted out that I had a date tonight. As soon as I did I figured might as well go with the story, so when I got questioned about it I made up a fake name and description for the girl as well. The best part is that I told everyone I was taking her to this really fancy and expensive restaurant, so when they saw me at McDonalds it was ironic actually. Luckily for me today is a holiday, but I have a feeling tomorrow the mocking is going to be worse than ever. I voted YDI by the way.

I guess it didn't turn out to be one happy meal... :D

you should've just told them that you got stood up.

Just tell them that she had to cancel but instead is going to make you dinner at her house another day :)

Haha, you can just let them know that she bailed on you today but you're definitely going out tomorrow... then invite your cousin or something for dinner.

what do you call an anorexic with a yeast infection? A quarter-pounder with cheese. But seriously? Don't lie next time and don't lower your standards. Hell, make a list of your standards and if you really want to, you could ask your co-workers if they have someone to set up with you. And you could have saved face by saying she cancelled. Also, there's nothing wrong with being single. Personally, I love it

It's good that you don't mind being single because if you have more of that awful joke, you're going to stay that way...

Never McDonalds...hope you said that you were getting stood up or waiting for them...

Welcome to forever alone club bro..

That's when you break out the tears and say they stood you up, if you're going to lie you have to stick to it! Or you know just not lie in the first place..

Did you mean "Today, I lied to my co-workers for attention, and they found out"?
