8 Reasons To Stay Away During Football Season

Football season is a time of high tensions and fiery vocabulary. For those people who are less interested in the game, it can be hard to hang around on Sundays. Here are some reasons to just stay away from football fans from September until January.


1. We curse like sailors.

All filters are off on Sundays, so if you want to keep your day as PG as possible, just avoid the general area around the TV.

2. There's a lot of yelling.

How could there not be? Plus, we're certain the players and coaches in the screen can hear us talking to them.

3. We tend to attract significant attention to ourselves in restaurants...

...from all the aforementioned yelling.

4. We throw things.

Remotes, food, empty beer bottles, couch pillows, you name it. If it's nearby, it's fair game to be tossed at the television.

5. We have a one-track mind.

It's nearly impossible to get our attention away from the television. We're really don't mean to ignore you, we promise.

6. We eat all the food.

You better believe it. Stress eating chips and guac is a syndrome of being waaaay too into a game. Don't be surprised if we eat five hot dogs in the first half.

7. Our mood is directly impacted by the outcome of the game.

If we lose, count us out of all other activities for the evening. You wouldn't want us around anyway.

8. We'll turn on our best friend if they're rooting for the other team.

Friendship means nothing when it comes to football.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
