Never judge a book by its cover.

Actually, make that never judge TWO BOOKS by their covers.

And this story that a woman posted to her TikTok account reveals why you should always take those words to heart.

It all started when she and her girlfriend went out to eat at Olive Garden…

The video’s text overlay reads, “When it’s our 10 month anniversary but the waiter says ‘so did you guys come from somewhere why are you dressed up.’”

And her caption reads, “if i had a dollar for everytime someone referred to us as besties.”

So, the long and the short of it is that she and her girlfriend were mistaken for friends…or sisters…or something.

Check out the video and see what you think.

Here’s how folks reacted.

One person has had similar experiences at Olive Garden.

Another individual had a funny experience at a hotel.

And this person got the run-around at Disneyland.

At the end of the day, if you want to be fancy… be fancy! And don’t let anybody ruin your night. Usually people just don’t understand that anybody can be in a relationship, regardless of their gender, orientation, etc.

Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise!
