Melissa McCarthy's story of her worst date ever starts awkwardly, escalates rapidly
Watch Next

Everyone has an awkward date story -- but we doubt there are many people out there with stories that can top Melissa McCarthy's.

During an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, she described a date where her companion spent the entire meal moaning about how expensive everything was, and how he could make it cheaper at home.

But that wasn't even the worst bit. As they walked back to McCarthy's apartment, the guy told her he had "this thing" in his bag that he'd got "from a guy at work." He said it was a ring.

"I'll just say it's not a ring for your finger or your toes," explained McCarthy. "This was my one and only offering of that after a date going terribly. I'm standing on Fairfax, which is a very busy street, and he's got it from his friend at work -- it's not even new!"

Needless to say, there was no second date.
