Guy Proposes To Woman While In A Packed McDonald's Line—And It Goes South Instantly
A video rarely leaves the internet collectively cringing as much as a recording of a public marriage proposal.
It only gets worse when it's staged at a McDonald's, to a woman who appears less than thrilled by the idea.
We don't know the context behind the proposal, whether it was more of an "apology proposal" or if the man simply planned poorly, but the internet couldn't help but eat up every bite of this widely shared fail.
The first video of the proposal was posted on Twitter, where it quickly went viral.
You can watch the video here:

In the video, an incredibly packed McDonald's is visible, with an already exasperated woman at the front of the line. The man behind her then kneels down, presumably asking her to marry him, which is lost in the din of the restaurant.
The woman remains facing forward for an awkwardly long moment. When she finally turns, she is visibly furious and scolds the man for his attempt to begin a marriage at a fast-food chain.
Furious, the woman hurried out of the line, leaving not only the food she had ordered but also a shopping cart full of items.
A second video surfaced on TikTok, later shared on Twitter, at another angle. In this video, we simply see the man on his knee, painstakingly waiting for the woman to turn around, which does not happen before the end of the video.

Viewers of the pair of videos couldn't have cringed harder for an endless list of reasons.
First, there was the location of the proposal.

My thoughts exactly\u2026 usually men do public proposals as a way of apologising for something they did.\nI don\u2019t thing a girlfriend can say no to a proposal when thing are good in that relationship— Mr Good (@Mr Good) 1651094268
Public proposals are kinda manipulative though— \ud83d\udc51\ud83c\udf0dRockSteady \ud83c\uddff\ud83c\udde6\ud83d\udc51 (@\ud83d\udc51\ud83c\udf0dRockSteady \ud83c\uddff\ud83c\udde6\ud83d\udc51) 1651093517

Second, there was the unbearable amount of time before the woman turned around.

At this moment the cashier told her what's going on behind her. She snitched. Lol . Also she could see in the cash register monitor what's going on behind her. So no surprise here. The kids tho pic.twitter.com/QmjhUJHhME— JemanoSnyders (@JemanoSnyders) 1651167058
And don't even get the internet started on the woman's reaction.
Men sometimes think making grand gestures in the midst of messes they've continously made, makes everything ok. It doesn't work like that. \n\nI sense they're not centralized in the r/ship & he's doing to get out out of mud. \n\nWhy NOW?— JulzNotYourChoma (@JulzNotYourChoma) 1651094531
People should learn, its a will you marry me? A question, expect a YES or a NO, she said NO, heal and move on bro!— Wasu Jr \ud83c\uddff\ud83c\uddfc (@Wasu Jr \ud83c\uddff\ud83c\uddfc) 1651113582
Honest woman, she has her own dreams which don't include a lifetime proposal while ordering cheap food. Dude doesn't understand the woman he's dating. Know your woman and if you like her enough to want to marry her. Atleast try and figure out what her dream proposal will be!!!— A spade is a spade (@A spade is a spade) 1651238152
As said earlier, it's unclear how this proposal came about, but the internet was baffled this man ever thought proposing in a busy fast-food chain, to an already exasperated woman, with the pressure of so many people watching, was a good idea.
But no matter the thought process behind it, it's clear the woman was not "lovin' it."
