Twitter’s #VotingPickupLines Was On Top Form Yesterday – The Best And The Worst Here

No one, except maybe the British, like standing in a line for any length of time. May as well break up the monotony with a few funny tweets.

I may have made the mistake of originally waiting at the wrong voting station yesterday, but in the end I did manage to acquire the all important black mark on the thumb.

I didn’t preach about it on Facebook or Instagram though, so I’m not sure if my vote actually counts and if my friends know I am an adult who did an adult thing.

#blessed.

Whilst queuing many South Africans thought they would break the monotony with a couple of jokes, and the hashtag #VotingPickupLines quickly began to trend.

Below, with the help of Mail & Guardian, are some that worked and some that didn’t. You can make your own mind up about which is which:

twipickups4

twipickups5

twipickups6

A couple more while we’re at it:

Anyone have any saucy post-voting stories they want to share? Nah, because much like your vote that’s the kind of shizz one should keep to themselves.
