Being Single For Valentine's Day As Told By 'The Office'

Ahh, Valentine's Day, the day where companies sell you millions of cards, chocolates, and flowers to show the person you love that you love them.

There are two types of people: those who love this holiday (usually in a happy and loving relationship) and those who hate it (sad, lonely, bitter people like myself). I don't hate it strictly because I'm single, I just think that every day should be the perfect time to tell, or show, that person how much you love them. If any of you single folk out there are upset about being single for Valentine's Day, think of how much money you're saving. Use that money and go buy yourself something nice. Love yourself instead. Or use this day to sit inside and watch Romantic Comedies and cry (me). I can't think of a group of more bitter people than the characters from 'The Office', so without further ado, here's what being single for Valentine's Day feels like as told by them.

When you hear couples talking about their holiday plans

When you realize you're going to be alone, again...

Seeing cheesy gifts/decorations in every store

Realizing that being single means you don't have to spend money because you're broke af

Seeing couples show affection in public

Watching Romantic Comedies and crying because you want to find a love like theirs

Realizing that food's better than human contact anyways

Realizing that candy will be on sale after Valentine's Day is over

Trying to be happy for your friend that has a date even though you don't have one

Thinking about all of the cute things you'd do with your partner if you were in a relationship on V-Day


Realizing that Valentine's Day is a silly holiday and you shouldn't care about whether or not you're single because being in a relationship doesn't define who you are because you're awesome

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
