21x what singles find annoying about couples
Hey, nice to meet up with your girlfriend that you haven't seen in months, and here comes mister trailing behind. And now you just thought you'd go over all the hot stuff in their fresh relationship and also those wild nights with your new date. I prefer to see people in their happiest state, but the get-together with a girlfriend is quite sacred. Sometimes that has to be without the mister. Now I hope I don't sound like the independent single smurf (okay, admit it, I am), but couples can be quite annoying and do things like this for example:
1. Number one: ‘I need to ask my boyfriend about that.’ Hellooo wifey, where has that load of independence gone? We're still individuals, right?.
2. Hashtags like #couplegoals, #relationship, #boyfriend, #meandmybae, #happytogether and #soblessed, just to name a few.
3. Dinner/lunch/breakfast/quality time with my BAE. ‘BAE’ (can I just spit?). The Danes are laughing at us hard, because there you find a ‘BAE’ in the pot.
4. After a long time, you meet up with your girlfriend, and he tags along. And you do think he's nice, but it's not like you two are constantly at each other's door.
5. And if he's not there, he's still non-stop on the app.
6. Couples who talk about everything in the ‘we’ form. ‘We love sushi’, ‘we're crazy about NYC’, 'that's OUR favorite lunch spot'...
7. Feeding each other in the restaurant. I don't get it, you can stay away from my plate.
8. That eternal coupling. You go out to dinner with a girlfriend (and boyfriend), and that one single friend is also at the table, because that's cozy, right? Not necessary.
9. Email addresses. henkenmiep@gmail.com.
10. Cuddling on social media. Love you, miss you, was fun three minutes ago. And even worse: there's a good chance they're sitting next to each other on the couch.
11. Kissing photos all over Instagram
12. Or what about couples who finish each other's sentences? Fine that you know each other inside out, but uh... is that really necessary?
13. Always wanting to sit next to each other, everywhere.
14. Or constantly being all over each other.
15. The shared calendar. ‘Shall we have a glass of wine on Saturday?’ Oh, let me check the shared calendar. Bluh.
16. Couples who grocery shop together. And do you know those men who stand with their arms crossed, taking their sweet time in the aisle? I find that super annoying. Just stay home.
17. Is the sidewalk wide enough? Move aside. Why do you think the sidewalk is completely for you, why?
18. And then those couples who hold hands while biking. Want a set of training wheels?
19. Nicknames: sweetie, darling, honey, cutie, kitty, little drop, little one. Ugh.
20. And then with a childish voice, yes that. Such a voice you also use for your pet.
21. The public argument. Shall I call Dr. Phil in, guys?
Hey but uh, don't get me wrong, secretly I also just want to talk in the 'we' form, you know (muahaha).
