I need to vent. So, yesterday, I had like the worst third-wheel experience ever. So my friend got herself a boyfriend pretty recently. Which is nice, I’m very happy for her. But they are both still in that stupid “lovey-dovey” phase, and oh my God is it annoying.

My friend invited me over to her house to hang out with her and watch a movie. Unfortunately, when I got there, her ****ing boyfriend was there. And I was strangling my friend's throat in my mind, because she didn't ****ing tell me beforehand. I tried to play it off, thinking to myself it wouldn't be so bad. But ooh, boy was I wrong. Unfortunately for me, my worst fears were confirmed. I was just sitting there awkwardly, trying to watch the movie and hating my life in the process, while they were too busy on her bed eating each other’s faces off. I wanted to tear all my hair out, and strangle them with it. It was so unbelievably uncomfortable just having to sit there. Pretty soon, I just couldn't take it anymore, and I walked out. I stormed home pissed off and very irritated; I’m pretty sure steam was coming out of my ****ing ears. When I bring someone else along with my girlfriend, I make sure not to make them feel like a third-wheel, because I know how ****ing uncomfortable being in that position is. Plus, I don’t really like doing that stuff in front of other people. She later apologized to me over text, and I reluctantly accepted it after giving her a piece of my mind. But I’m still pretty irritated at her. I get it; you wanna make out with your boyfriend. That’s great. But don’t ****ing involve me. And don’t ****ing invite me over if all you’re gonna do is neglect my presence.

Argh. Now that I got that all off my chest, what are some of you guys’ worst third-wheel experiences?
 
Yeah, that's pretty bad when she invites you over and they just make out. In such a situation I highly recommend that, while they are otherwise occupied, you eat all the good stuff in her refrigerator (make yourself a doggie bag if you cant get it all down) and raid her liquor cabinet a little.

Maybe she was trying to get y’all into a threesome :shrug:
 
You're right, it's an uncomfortable position to be in. The best thing is to avoid it completely by asking who else is going to be there. If the new squeeze is coming but no one else, decline. But, if others are invited as well, you might have a better time.

And let your friend know, kindly, that you're not really interested in being the third wheel. That way, when the two of you plan something, she won't invite her boyfriend.

She wasn't very gracious to do that to you. Fortunately, you can usually bow out of those situations pretty quickly, by jokingly telling them to "get a room" or mention that if you wanted to watch soft porn, you'd pull it up on your laptop.
 
My worst third wheel experience involves my ex, a guy named Jody, and myself. Stories ends with me saltier than Lot's wife and Jody having to see a dentist the next day.

Yeah, I should have asked first. I thought it was gonna be just me and her. If I had known boy-toy was gonna be there, I'd have made up an excuse not to go.

And don't worry: I let her know how much I didn't appreciate that ****. I think she got the point.

In a threesome or just, like, you know, being in the wrong place at the wrong time?

Hey, I'm sure some people have felt like the third-wheel even in threesomes. :lol:

The other day I was watching a YouTube Forensic Files episode. There was this three-way live together deal that went South. In short, two of the three decided to freeze the third person out. He ended up being forced to sleep on the couch while the other two shared the bedroom. I'd call that the worst third wheel experience ever.

Oh, he ended up murdering one of the other two guys. Hence why it was on YouTube to begin with.

I sometimes listen to creepypastas (internet horror stories) before I go to sleep, so I know how you feel.

Oh, I know what its like to be 3rd wheel....for a long time....

The good part? When my gf and I go out with friends, we are both pretty cognizant about how much being the 3rd wheel sucks, so we minimize the suckage.

I'm going to have to agree with her on that assessment.

Also, Governess: next time this happens, don't sit and fume about it until you can't put up with it any longer; excuse yourself from the event. Simply tell your friend that you'd live to hang out sometime she isn't busy, but you don't want to be a third wheel.

I probably should've done that. But I let my anger get to me.
