A TikToker went viral for sharing how she panicked after accidentally making a serial killer joke to a relative of Ted Bundy.
The content creator, who posts under the handle broccoliandmoxie, revealed how a dark humor joke about the infamous serial killer Ted Bundy became the most awkward moment on her first-day training as a waitress.
“When I was 19, I worked as a server and on my very first day, one of my coworkers came up to me and was like, ‘Hi, my name is blank and I’m going to be training you,'” she said in a viral video which has amassed a whopping 6.2 million views.
The TikToker said she noticed how he shared a surname with the infamous murderer and passed a comment about it. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, I saw your name on the schedule. Your last name is Bundy. Like the serial killer. Ha ha ha ha ha ha,'” she recalled in the video.
She explained that the man just stared at her blankly for a moment, before she apologized and said: “I bet you get that all the time. I bet that’s really annoying.”
