Everyone knows how shameful it feels when you wake up to a clearly alcohol-induced one night stand in your bed. With a massive headache and a bad feeling in the pit of your stomach, you roll over to see a beast of epic proportions. Although you may feel helpless at the moment, HolyTaco has done a great favor of providing some tips on how to get rid of a regrettable one night stand.

1. Create a Non-Sexual Environment

By getting up promptly, putting on your clothes,  and whipping open the blinds, you show your adversary that you are not going to partake in any morning sex. The light from the window may worsen the appearance of your mistake, but hopefully will shame the naked atrocity in your bed into leaving.

2. Create a Sense of Urgency

HolyTaco suggests putting on a tie and discussing your lateness for the day’s events, even if your plans for the day consist of playing video games and eating Cheetos. Bonus point if you say you’re late for STD testing or a parole hearing.

3. Have Breakfast Ready to Go

Some people (jerks) believe that you have to provide breakfast for your monstrosity of a one night stand. In case this happens, have a variety of quick “on-the-go” foods ready to pass off as you push them out the door, like bagels, a  SlimFast bar (if you’re daring), or a GoGurt… it even has go in the name!

4. Walk out the Door

Like we stated previously, it matters not if you actually have anything to do that day. By walking out the door and gesturing like you’re getting in the car, you are making a clear statement that the date/accident/horrific event is over. Once the shamed woman or man drives away, feel free to head back inside, strip down to your boxers, and drown your sorrows in children’s breakfast cereals and violent video games.

Don’t worry. The misery will pass.
