10 Things That Happen When You're A Third-Wheel

If you ever had a day full of third-wheeling, then here's some things that might have happened to you.

1. There's never enough room on the sidewalk for all three people.

Every third-wheeler should be in front of the pack, just like you're leading an army to battle. Being behind while walking on the sidewalk is just sad.

2. As a third wheel, your job is to take pictures.

You're like a photographer for the day, taking pictures of the couple in front of random objects.

3. When you're third wheeling and they start arguing.

You literally get so fluster and sweaty while the couple is bickering. You have no idea what to do, should you leave? Should you stay? So many questions race through your mind.

The worst part is when they ask who's the right one in the argument. Run.

4. When you're third-wheeling and they start making out.

What do you do? Just pretend you don't see them? Leave the room? Find a new and single friend? There's just no words to describe the awkwardness.

5. You'll hear, "Don't worry you're not going to be the third-wheel," at least 100 times, but you always end up being the third-wheel.

Your friend will convince you to come with them and swears that you will not be the third wheel. Approximately 30 seconds into hanging out with the couple, the wheels start turning and the third-wheel is officially comes into motion.

6. You realize that the only thing that gets you through being a third-wheel is alcohol.

You're not a third-wheel anymore, vodka is your date now.

7. You keep having high hopes that you'll eventually reach a Harry-Ron-Hermione friendship, but it never seems to work out that way.

Being a third-wheel is like wearing that invisibility cloak.

8. Sometimes you wish you stayed home and been a unicycle for the night.

Unicycles are fun.

9. During the third-wheel date, you think to yourself, "I can't believe I thought this wouldn't be this weird."

It became very weird, very quickly.

10. In the end, you are happy for them, but you secretly hope they won't invite you to anymore places.

Deep down you're extremely happy for their happiness, but you're tired of looking down at your phone during awkward third wheeling moments. Maybe skipping a few dates isn't such a bad thing.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

The Relatable Date

Don't deny it.

They talk to you like you're one of the guys, but you will NEVER EVER be included in "Bro" things

Even though you've heard the words, "Not you, a real girl" more times than you can count.

You need to caption almost every picture with a disclaimer that you aren't dating...

But at the same time, you never know whether or not to be offended when they say they'd never date you...

And your other friends are constantly telling you you were destined to be with each other.

You'd get all the girls if you were a boy because you walk them through how to get girls almost daily...

That being said, you have an opinion on EVERY girl they show you, and you aren't afraid to share it...

But they have opinions too, and that's why they'll be the first to tell you when a guy isn't treating you right... and then they'll do exactly the same thing to some girl a few days later...

And if they do happen to have a girl in their lives, she most likely hates you, because you know him better than she ever will...

But even after all that, you wouldn't trade them for the world.

No, I actually don't pay for my friends.

1. "You pay for your friends."

2. "All you do is party."

3. "You guys all look the same."

4. "You don't actually care about your Philanthropy."

5. "Bigs and littles are stupid/annoying."

6. "I would never want to be a part of that."

7. "You're wasting your money."

We get it — we're frustrated with you, too.

1. When they go out of their way to help you.

2. When they are cleaning up a section of the store.

3. When they deal with your children being heathens.

4. When they listen intently to your coupon problems.

5. When they ask you about opening a credit card or rewards card.

6. When you have to wait to get an item number or to talk to a manager.
