TikTok star Julie shared the story with her fans and said she’d been eating out when a waiter approached and asked if she would like rice with her meal, but she misheard him

A woman said she almost died of embarrassment when she was thought her waiter had paid her a compliment – but she’d actually misheard him.

We’ve all been there, in busy restaurants it can be near impossible to hear what’s being said – and that’s what TikTok star Julie found when she visited a Chipotle diner.

She was eating out and the waiter asked if she wanted white rice with her meal, but she thought he had paid her a compliment by saying “nice eyes.”

Julie responded and thanked him for the compliment, saying “thank you, I rarely get complimented on my eyes”, before the reality dawned on her and she was deeply embarrassed.

Julie’s clip clearly resonated with TikTok users as soon she had nearly three million views and a flurry of comments, most of whom could relate.

One said: “Girl, I would’ve died right there and then.”

And a second wrote: “The fact you had to continue to tell them the rest of your order after this.”

Then a third added: “I work in fast food and someone asked for mayonnaise and I thought they asked for a band-aid and I got the whole first aid kit out.”

Another TikTok user had a similar story, and shared it with Julie. They wrote: “Once a man said, ‘the view is gorgeous’, but I thought he said ‘you’re gorgeous’, so I said ‘thank you so much’ and honestly I don’t think I’ll ever recover.”
