anecdate

A date that is so incredibly awful that the only reason you don't walk out is so that you can describe the scene in detail to your friends for years to come.

Although Craig was possibly the most outrageously boring man she had ever been on a date with, Alice felt that she had to stay until the end as it would at least make an amazing anecdate to tell her friends about afterwards.

anecdotal proof

The erroneous extension of personal experience into the general population.

So last week i had COVID. I took (insert quack cure X here) and now i’m better. X works!
Statistically, you were going to get better without any treatment; lucky X didn’t kill you.

Anecdotal Evidence

Empirical evidence that somebody just doesn't want to look at.

Manray: "Is your name Patrick Star?"
Patrick: "Yes"
Manray: "...and is this your ID?"
Patrick: "Yes"
Manray: "Good, because I found this ID in this wallet, so if that's the case, this must be your wallet!"
Patrick: "But that's anecdotal evidence!"
