On Tuesday, Sept. 9, YouTube channel PizzaPartyUSA uploaded an animated retelling of what has to be the worst date ever. In the vid, a man named Carl explains how he had to swallow his pride when something truly awful happened on a first date.

"[My friends and I] were up all night, the night before we were just drinking," Carl starts out. While on a date with a yoga instructor at Venice Beach the next day, all that partying caught up to him at ~the worst~ moment.

Carl realized he had to go to the bathroom, but -- play sad violin music for this part -- he ... well ... had an accident.

But brave Carl didn't end the date, move away and change his name. He really liked the girl he was with, so he went to extreme and hilariously sad measures to keep her from finding out about the ?. Him and the yoga instructor have been dating for two years now, so it's actually kinda romantic.

Watch Carl retell the story below.
