I’m sure we can all think of a couple, like the awkward one sitting in front of you during lecture or the one that’s glued to the hip down State Street, that just get under your skin. Annoying, right? Ohh my gawd, I literally can’t take any more of it! Like seriously, I kid you not, I recently witnessed a girl feed her boy an entire cup of froyo(an ENTIRE cup!) while he stroked her leg, like what? For real, stop while you’re ahead.
Now I’m not opposed to people in relationships at all; I myself even have a boyfriend. But by no means do we manhandle each other for all to see or call each other nicknames with baby voices…not my style, nor will it ever be.
With that all said, I have come up with several helpful ways to avoid being that annoying, make me want to go vom couple we all can’t stand to look at. Enjoy!
- DON’T Finish Each Other’s Sentence
It’s cool and all that you can predict what your boy is going to say, but there is no need to finish his sentence for him. One, it’s hard as the listener to understand since more than one person is speaking and two, he can talk on his own.
- DON’T have mushy-gushy nicknames for each other
I’m all for a nickname here and there, but avoid using those nicknames like, “boo-bear” and “cuddle bear” at all costs. You were given a first name for a reason, use it.
- DON’T participate in P.D.A. 24/7
A kiss here and there or holding hands while strolling downtown is perfectly acceptable. It only becomes a problem when you become that super awkward couple who grope one another in public causing those, like me, to stare in disdain.
- DON’T Text All. The. Time.
Having a conversation via cellphone is understandable, we all do it. The issue I have with couples, however, are those who think it’s normal they text their loved one all the time. One of my friends is constantly texting her boyfriend while the rest of us are trying to enjoy a girl’s night. I find it rude because it’s as if texting someone is more important than enjoying a night of fun with best friends.
- DON’T Tweet at each other ALL. THE. TIME.
OH. MY. GAWD. I think this may be what annoys me most about annoying couples. If you got something to say, say it to them, not for the entire Twitter world to see. There are so many times where I see on my newsfeed a couple tweeting back and forth about “how great of a night they had together” or “how sweet the gifts he gave”. Honestly, no one is minutely interested in hearing how much you love each other…keep it to a minimal ladies.
Wow, after re-reading this post, I may have come off a bit strongly…sorry for the jabs, but if you do have a boyfriend, please please please work on avoiding being that annoying couple in public. You can do it and the rest of us would appreciate it!
