This legitimately happened to my friend. He's a neckbeard who loves Disney and Pixar. As a bit of a prank, his wife told her parents she's dating a "big guy with a beard who's into Cars". Her father restores old cars and was so excited to meet this guy. His disappointment was palpable the first time they met. What a funny prank!

That's so fucked up and hilarious. Imagine that's how you meet your future father-in-law.

As a cyclist, I’ve long dreaded a particular variant of it. Very few people hear “I’m into bikes” and think “bitch loves cardio” but cyclists do.

IDK, I'm a cyclist and I hate cardio, but I do it anyway. Cycling is just less crappy than driving for me.

The wife is a keeper for sure! Love it!

That being said, if I pulled that with my partner he'd murder me. We have a different sense of humor.

Turns out he was into the song Cars by Gary Numan.

Without having seen the Pixar movie I can confidently say this is better.

Same here but now I watch it with my kid and it's actually pretty good.
