A Guy Her Mom Dated Told Her She Could Run Him Over With Her Car In An Attempt To Win Her Over
TikToker Marissa (@flaneurflaneuring) is describing the peculiar strategy one of her mom’s boyfriends employed in an attempt to win her over.
“The guys my mom dated have always tried to do whatever they could to get in my good graces, which is perfectly understandable. Were I in their shoes, I’d be doing exactly the same thing,” Marissa said.
Usually, the boyfriends’ strategies would range from buying her an ice cream cone to surprising her with a CD of her favorite band. The guy Marissa’s mom was seeing even let her drive his brand-new Lexus.
But the memory that really takes the cake for Marissa involved a guy that lived with them. At the time, Marissa was about nineteen or twenty, and she was not thrilled that her mom’s boyfriend had moved in with them.
One morning, Marissa woke up late for work. It was noon when she realized she had overslept and her shift had started at 10 AM.
She had been working double shifts for three weeks in a row, so she was extremely exhausted. So when she woke up that morning, she was really out of it.
Once she became aware of just how late she was, she started panicking and running around the house, gathering her uniform. She was convinced she would lose her job for this infraction.
Her mom’s boyfriend noticed her frenzied state and asked what was wrong. Marissa responded that she had overslept and was late to work.
Then, he suggested to Marissa that she could run him over with her car, which caused her to stop in her tracks immediately. She asked him to repeat what he had said.

Her mom’s boyfriend reasoned that if she ran him over with her car, she could call her workplace and inform them that she was late because she ran over someone in an accident. In the video, Marissa clarified that she did not take him up on his offer.
“Just to get this out of the way, I didn’t run this man over with my car. But the thing was, he was so serious,” said Marissa.
“This was a genuine offer of his, and I really believe that if I had said, ‘yeah, yeah actually, let’s try that out,’ he would’ve gone outside, just laid on the ground, and let me run him over with my Camry.”
Some TikTok users shared the creative ways their mothers’ boyfriends made use of to try to get on their good sides.
“Every time my mom and her boyfriend got into a fight, he would bring me an orange Fanta,” commented one user.
“My mom’s BF just offered to (probably illegally?) bring me copies of coroners’ reports because I thought I wanted to be a forensic anthropologist. Wild!” exclaimed another.
