We've all been hit with at least one terrible pickup line in our lifetime, and if we're being totally honest, we've been hit by quite a few. Those cringe-worthy attempts at courtship make you want to dig a hole right where you stand and disappear in it. You stare at the person before you, wondering how they dared utter the words that came out of their mouths. You can either roll your eyes and reply sarcastically, or you can raise an eyebrow, turn around, and be gone with the wind.

Unless you find them lowkey adorable, pickup lines feel like something straight out of an old early 2000s film, where the main character's love interest is a likable nerd who takes the wrong advice from a jock. Oh well, better luck next time, as the old saying goes… below you'll find a hilarious Reddit thread where the ultimate question was asked… 'What is the worst pickup line you've ever heard?'. We think you're gonna enjoy the answers we've collected.

For more, here are some 'it's complicated' relationship memes for the tired souls who don't have a clue what's going on with their own love interest.
