"Thinking about the time when I thought the waiter was giving me a hug for my birthday, but he was just grabbing the candle," the college student explained in text overlaid over the viral video.
In the footage, the birthday girl is seen standing at the head of the table during what is presumably a celebratory dinner. A waiter then dances toward the group and leans over the table, which Elizabeth misinterprets as him coming close for a hug, so she goes in for an embrace.
