Being single can be a boon or a bane. But when you have friends in a relationship, all hell breaks loose for you single people. Let’s face it: there are things that couples do which annoy us to the core. For couples this seems to be very romantic…I mean, yeah, who needs chairs when you have your partner’s lap, right?
Well, no offence to all those people out there who are committed but this is a humble request from us singles to not annoy the shit out of us with your crazy “cooochy pooochy” things. You must know *WE HATE THIS*.
1. Where Are Your Table Manners?
Some of the very basic things our parents teach us during our toddler days are toilet training, table manners and how to eat on your own. Then where is the need to feed her when your partner can eat herself? Okay I might sound anti-relationship, but I am not. Come on you can do this on a date, but when you are out with your friends especially ones who are single, you can spare them from watching your girlfriend feeding you pizza or any other food. Trust me it does not feel any good to watch your friend being fed by someone.
2. When You Remember Your Friend’s Name As Jaanu Or Shona
It feels great to share cute nicknames in a relationship. It might bring you guys closer, but not when you both are standing on the opposite sides of the road (preferably with your friends) and shouting out each others’ nicknames. It can get very embarrassing for us singles to see our friends being called out as ‘jaanu’, ‘babu’, ‘nona’ and ‘shona’ or any other name for that matter. Sometimes it gives you a cringe-worthy feeling of disowning your friend then and there.

We understand that you are in a relationship and you want to spend leisure time with your partner as and when possible. But ALWAYS is not an option, especially when you have single friends. I am sure you guys can relate with me on this that when we make plans for hanging out, half of our committed friends either ditch the plan or are busy chatting with their girlfriends. I have even seen situations where they end up bringing their girlfriends to the party which was supposed to be an evening watching a football match wearing boxers and drinking beer. And what is left for the single friends is to yearn for that oldie to be a part of our wolf pack again.
4. Hey I Am Your Matchmaker
When you are single and your friend gets into a relationship, the first thing they would suggest you is to get into a relationship. I am sure most of you might have been in this situation and somewhere in your subconscious, you felt like beating the shit out of your friend to set you up on a blind date, or giving your contact to random people so that you can ‘socialize’ with those people more. So while all the time you try to dodge the random hook up options with ‘thanks, but no thanks’; the look your friend gives you when you pass on their offer is terrible. It’s like making us feel guilty for taking decisions of our own life.

How many times has your friend ditched you for their better half or even worse, you took all the pains to make a plan and within seconds his partner comes and says “no, let’s go somewhere else” and *swoosh* crashes your plan. If the ideas are great, there does not seem to be a problem. But when they suggest you ideas like going for a romantic movie, strolling at a mall *holding hands*or sitting at a nearby restaurant or cozy bar…then there is a problem for us singles.
6. When You Become Their Official Photographer
There is no harm in clicking pictures of your friends with their partners but when they forget about your existence as their friends and treat you as a photographer, it gets irritating. Imagine holding that camera or mobile phone for nearly 30 minutes while they make poses for their ‘candid shots’, yes its worse. Oh btw, has anyone informed them yet that clicking a selfie is a psychological disorder?

You were a bunch of four besties, but now when you meet for a get together you are 7 people. Yes you are single but your friends either forgot that fact or are too obsessed with their partners that they can’t leave their side for once. And they will suggest you to invite someone or simply say that “we are going to have such a great time that you will not feel like you are single.” Ok guys we are single by choice and not because we are hopeless romantics…uhh well we might be hopeless! But who cares, we are content being single.
8. When Their Bedroom Secrets Are Being Shared With You
Just when you think that you have seen and heard it all and it can’t get any worse, your committed friends share their bedroom adventures with you! This is the worst thing you would ever like your friend to discuss with you. How he or she discusses with you the minutest details of how they made love is something ridiculous and annoying. If you think this is all made up, then you are wrong. There are people who share such things with their friends and those friends are not even given the option of closing their ears. Mind you if you think its romantic or erotic…it’s NOT.
