TikTok has become so ubiquitous that it can feel like every person you know, past and present, is constantly scrolling the never-ending loop of videos available in the app.
While users can go viral on the app for a number of reasons, occasionally users get viewers for having an unexpected encounter with somebody that they actually know in real life.
For Joe, a TikToker with over 19k followers, he ran into someone from his past he wasn’t exactly expecting.

He responded to the comment with a video where he revealed the truth of why the follower recognized him. “You’re not gonna like my answer, there is a reason that my face is so familiar, it’s because you stood me up on a date four years ago. So, uh, sorry!” he said.
The awkward response instantly went viral, getting over 340k views in under a day.
The comment section was flooded with followers shocked at the unlikely encounter.
