Home security cameras can alert homeowners of prowlers and help protect residents from other suspicious activity.

They also can expose how someone really feels about the homeowner.

A doorbell camera captured a man talking on the phone while walking up the porch steps—and insulting the man of the house with a spiteful name.

The guy, presumably the boyfriend of the homeowner's daughter, was heard saying:

"Alright, well, yeah, I gotta go meet this d***head so…"

His regret was apparent when he noticed there was a camera at the door that captured his indiscretion.

Oops.

The boyfriend groaned at the discovery and was heard saying, "ugggghh godd*mmit."

The TikTok clip of the footage described it as:

"When you realize her dad has a doorbell cam."

The clip was posted by TikToker @corighteous, and it went viral with 2.4 million views and over 1,000 comments.

Whoever this dude was, he is clearly not a fan of the dad.

His future as a potential son-in-law started looking dim, as reflected in the comments.

Others thought he may be spared further embarrassment.

Some people suggested he should just walk away at that point.

Many remained hopeful for a sequel to disclose the outcome.

But until one gets posted, if at all, viewers will just have to wait and have their popcorn ready.
