Things Couple Do That Irritate Single People
Before I start, I will like to say that whatever I’m
going to write may sound a little like bad-
belleism but hey, you will also agree with me that
these couple behaviours are very very irritating:

Getting all mushy in public: nobody is trying
to tell you to not look into each other’s eyes or
hold hands or kiss in public but please, keep it
down, people are watching. You don’t need to
swallow each other’s tongues and smooch in
public, save all that for your private rendezvous;
we don’t need to be a spectator to something
that should be between you guys alone.

Callin each other pet names in public: this
is just as irritating as the excessive public display
of affection. We can deal with the regular “baby”,
“sweetheart”, “darling” and even “bae” but don’t
go overboard with private pet names that gets us
wondering what the meaning is and how the
name came about

Laughing at Private jokes: what are you
trying to do? Make me feel bad that there’s
nobody in my life to share secret jokes with?
Don’t tell private jokes in public and laugh at it all
by yourself, it makes us look clueless or dumb
for not grasping the joke.

Playing matchmaker: I’m single, I know but
must you rub it in by making me feel like I can’t
get a man on my own? Stop it, mbok. Don’t hook
me up with all your friends. I may not be happy
single but I’m not hopeless, I can get a man on
my own; maybe just later than you hoped.

Faking being happy: your real life
relationship is so sad and you’re not happy with
your man yet your facebook wall and instagram
page is telling another story of a happy girl who
is head over heels in love. Who are you kidding?
Lol. We all know the #YingToMyYang
#LifePartner #Best Friends hashtags are as fake
as your relationship, so drop the act already

No more hangouts: it is really annoying
when you can’t hang out with your friend as you
used to just because they found someone and
when you get to hang out, they are buried deep
in their phones “keeping the boo” posted on
things happening around. Can’t we just have a
regular outing where we don’t have to feel like
the boo is hiding somewhere ready to pop out
any minute? Come on, it is very uncomfortable
for us to deal with.

Playing relalationship expert: it is
annoying when your friend suddenly starts
dishing out unsolicited relationship advice
especially on how to get and keep a man as if
there’s something you are doing wrong that’s
keeping you single. Come on, you used to be like
me, remember. Cut me slack and stop with the
advice. It is as irritating as getting nonstop calls
from a marketer advertising romantic getaway
for two, I don’t need it.
– When The Buddy Turns To A Stranger: I know
it is cool to want to please your man and be the
best woman for him but do you totally have to
give up your own self just to be accepted by him.
It is totally annoying when your friend stops
doing something she really loves just to please
her man. Come on, be a better you but not a
stranger to your own self.
– When I/My Becomes We/Our: I know you’re
in a relationship and you’re excited too, we don’t
need the constant reminder by replacing every I
statement with we “We love french fries” “Our
favourite author”. It is really annoying. We are
happy you found the love of your life but we
don’t want you to rub you happiness in our faces,
so keep the “we statements” to the barest
minimum.
You can also stop trying to finish each other
statements or gushing about your partner every
chance you get; which is basically all the time.
Stop posting all your cheesy pictures online; he
is romantic, awww very sweet, but some things
are best kept private. I know you may think these
things are cute and sweet, yes, they actually are
but when you do it all the time, it becomes
annoyingly unbearable.
You've got to admit; Especially from dem gals
You are free to bash me, commend me, condemn me
Or add urs. . Have a good day

couples make it seem like marriage is so rosy! All na wash. Another annoying part is how they feel single ones are irresponsible

summarise dude

Most unmarried couples do these.

SagePerv:

Pet names like: sweety pie, honey, jelly bean, banana and so on. Not cool.
