Funny things only SINGLE ladies will understand.

1. That moment when you’re having dinner alone and your phone dies, and you don’t have a book or a magazine. You just have to eat your food and look like a loner.

2. Having to ask a busy male friend — or worse, some guy you went out with once or twice — to help you carry something heavy or assemble an Ikea product. In the end you drive your poor Dad crazy fixing things.

3. Terrible first dates, over and over, like a horrifying version of The Omen. There’s a reason why these guys are single!!

4. Hearing that we need to be "less picky" from our loved ones repeatedly. What are you saying, Mam?

5. The steep learning curve of how to fix broken shit around the house. WHY ISN’T THIS TOILET PLUNGING WORKING. MY ARM HURTS. I’M GOING TO DIE THIS WAY.

6. Not being able to open a jar. This is easy if you just hit up a neighbor. Unfortunately, my Sister also can not open jars, cue us both spending an hour trying to break our hands... 'Try a wet towel to grip it'!

7. Rolling up to dinner parties solo. Then spend all night humming songs in your head while they discuss weddings, babies and ALL things boring.

8. Those guys who have girlfriends who flirt with you anyway. Sure, let me waste my whole night spitting game just to tell me at the end of the night that you have a girlfriend. Of five years. Who you live with. Why didn’t you say something? “Because I didn’t want to.” Oh. Okay. You’re a terrible boyfriend, and you guys should probably break up.

9. The awkward conversations you have with friends’ boyfriends. “It’s raining.” “Haha, yeah, Brian, it is.” “Rain is mad wet.” “Yes it is.”

10. People in relationships being unable to understand that quiet nights alone are often way more fulfilling than being with someone else. Just because you hate being alone doesn't mean I hate it.

11. People in relationships assuming you’re waiting for your “Mr. Big,” or whatever. Look, I’m not some starry-eyed Carrie Bradshaw wannabe with impossible standards for boyfriends. I’m just looking for someone smart, funny, and interesting that I’m attracted to. You’d be surprised how hard it is to find.

12. Zipping the back of a dress. That one spot in the middle of your back. Goddammit.

13. Guys who don't text you after you hook up act all guilty and patronizing, as if they crushed your heart in pieces, even when you didn't give a shit. Yeah, um, I don't care that you don't want anything serious right now — I just wanted to hook up. Stop apologizing. I promise you, I was not planning our wedding the morning after you left my house with a hangover. You're just too arrogant to take my word for it.

14. Everyone telling you you'll eventually end up with your best guy friend. Just because it happens in movies doesn't mean it works for everyone in real life. There's probably a reason you're just friends.

15. Women in relationships assuming you're jealous of them. Nope. Sorry.
