10 Reasons Being an Arab Third Wheel Is Literally the Worst
We’ve all been one at some point in our lives. By one I mean the third wheel for our closest friends. We disregard our feelings of wanting to jump off of a cliff, we do it anyway because we love our friends and we’d do anything to see them happy. Right? RIGHT??? Bas ya3ny zay ma basta7melko esta7meloony balash tef2a3ooly mararty please! The struggles of being a third wheel are endless wallahi bas let me narrow it down to the ones that never fail to get on every single nerve in my body.
1) Girls Night Out?
How dare you even think about having a girls night out? You know your best friend’s boyfriend has to be in every single outing whether you like it or not, and you just have to act all cool about it!
2) Non existent
You always feel like an outcast when you’re the only person out with them, you’ll literally die of being ignored, wishing you can hide under a rock or something, or you can just desperately call out “hey guys, love me, I exist.”
3) Give them the finger, and wave phone calls bye-bye
You’ll never get to have a decent phone call with your best friend because they’re always on the phone, trying to break the record for the number of hours any normal human being can actually talk and still function. And your call will either end up being ignored or they’ll call you back 12 hours later when you’ve probably forgotten about that thing you needed to tell them about or you just don’t feel like talking anymore.
4) Watching them eat together is a pain
This happens to be the thing that bugs me the most, food! Why on Earth would you have to order the same thing, eat in the same plate, every single time. What’s so sweet about sharing food aslan. Ana shakshyan bat3asab lama had yakhod men el fries bta3ty feeling like Joey Tribbiani most of the time.
5) Wave sleepovers bye-bye bardo
You’re having a sleepover and your best friend will probably spend the night checking on her boyfriend. Weselt? Akalt? Nemt? Mot? Kefaya ba2a!
6) Car rides!
We all love to have car rides every now and then with the crew and sing our hearts out to our favorite songs, bas ezay, she’ll have to drive with her boyfriend 3ashan you know bykhaf 3aleha men el hawa el tayer.
7) Akhessa2y egtima3y
And when things go wrong, you’ll phone will probably cry out in pain from the overwhelming number of calls and texts you’ll get from both parties. And it’d be the perfect chance for you to act all doctor Phil and start flaunting your long hidden opinions and perspectives about life and relationships.
8) They’re back? Ba2o samna 3ala 3asal khalas?
Forget what I just said, you still don’t exist.
9) You’re a strong independent woman
They’ll think of you as an alien when you say that building a career or having future goals are more important to you than finding Mr(s) Right. They’ll even try to change your mind about that, they’ll tell you that love is the air we breathe and they’ll build you castles with flying unicorns. Don’t believe them. It’s a trap! Always know that a big bowl of ice cream can be more pampering and soothing to you than anyone else in this whole world.
10) Hear no evil. See no evil
Sometimes all you gotta do is act like you never saw or heard anything and you’ll master it in no time, don’t worry.
WE SAID THIS: Although being a third wheel may lots of times sound like a bad thing, but honestly speaking, being the third person to a couple will make your bond grow into an unbreakable one and they’ll slowly be the ones you can’t live without. You can always be yourself and act all goofy around them, because – trust me – they’ll love you anyway.
