Woman Accidentally Films Random Awkward Encounter With Her Ex—And We're All Cringing

TikToker Noelle Cornelius gave viewers secondhand embarrassment after she accidentally filmed a random encounter on the street with her ex and asked him, 'Do you hate me?'

Anyone who has ever had an accidental run-in with one of their exes can attest to how awkward it can be. Sometimes there are unresolved feelings, or even pining, and let's not forget the possible anger and vengeance.

But most of us don't manage to catch that awkward moment on video.


TikToker Noelle Cornelius was lucky—or unlucky—enough to do so, as she was walking along with Ava, the 12-year-old girl she was nannying overnight. Noelle was discussing an event with Ava while accidentally recording the pavement as they walked.

Suddenly, Noelle cursed, having bumped into her ex, who she kept nameless in the video.

The three of them kept the situation casual, with Noelle introducing Ava to her ex-boyfriend, and her ex also stating that he was on his way to work.

But Noelle amped up the awkward when she asked her ex how he was doing, only to follow it up by saying:

"Do you hate me?!"

In an overlay text, Noelle reflected:

"Why did I ask if he hates me? He dumped me, y'all!"

When Noelle stated that she was staying over at Ava's house to nanny her, the ex spiced things up a bit by saying:

"Lucky!"

Shortly after that, the ex-boyfriend left for work, leaving Ava to wonder why the situation had been so awkward. Noelle simply stated he was her ex, and the video quickly cut off with no need for further explanation.

This is a great reminder that we all have different tolerance levels, so what felt completely unbearable to some felt adorable to others.

Also, it's good to remember that just because a relationship didn't work out doesn't mean that there is any hate there. It just means it was time for the two people to walk down different paths, even if they cross every once in a while!

Elon Musk Schooled After Comparing Obama-Era Democrats To Far-Right German Party

Billionaire Elon Musk was criritized after he attempted to equate the far-right Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) party to Democrats at the beginning of Barack Obama's presidency, and was swiftly fact-checked—even by X's own AI chatbot.

Afd is known for its opposition to the European Union (EU) and immigration to Germany. The party presented itself as an economic liberal, soft Euroskeptic and conservative movement upon its establishment in 2013 but has since moved further to the right, expanding its policies under successive leaderships to include opposition to immigration, Islam, and the EU.
