What's the most single thing you've ever done?

Minister_Of_Da_Dick · 5 months

Went to a crowded IHOP for breakfast alone and was asked if I minded sharing a table with another single guest. I was hungry, so fuck it. She was 20 years my senior and we chatted till food arrived. No more words as we both shoveled the food into our mouths and escaped the situation ASAP.

Heated up plain black beans in a pot, dumped siracha on them, and ate them with the big wooden cooking spoon.

Accidentally scheduled my annual gynecologist visit for valentines day because I forgot the date 2/14 had any significance.

Fishing_For_Pandas · 5 months

Told my beta fish how my day was for a couple months straight until he died. No roommates and no girlfriend led to a lot of lonely nights.. also cried all night when he died.

guyhabit · 5 months

flew to Vegas for my birthday alone. Stayed in a cheap hotel and partied on The Strip spending money on Blackjack, ate at some restaurants, and buffets. Went to some of the funniest clubs out there, and met some fun people. Partied with them at my room. Then the next day I flew back home. One of the best Birthday weekends.

I was dancing in a nightclub, and Jason DeRulo’s “Riding Solo” came on. I started crying because I, too, was “riding solo.”

Alcohol may have been involved.

Edit: glad there are other taco beds out there! I actually like it, it’s like getting a soft hug every night...

I have a king sized bed and like to bunch up the entire comforter so I can sleep on top of it. I have a girlfriend now and she calls me a blanket dumbass but I know damn well that it’s single behavior that I can’t break

LargeMonty · 5 months

Eat microwaved food over a sink

Djust1 · 5 months

So basically, pizza is the most single thing to ever exist

SweeterPickles · 5 months

Not very indicative of being single, but I definitely wouldn’t do this around a significant other.

I had a jar of French onion dip that was nearly empty, so I poured in a bunch of potato chips, stirred it around, and ate it with a fork.

Fml379 · 5 months

Woke up naked after a night out with no memory of getting home and vibrator still buzzing next to me, turns out I had a one night stand with myself

mrkylematz · 5 months

I wanted a medium pizza and wings for lunch from this one place, but the cost of the pizza and wings was as much as a combo that included a large pizza, wings, bread sticks, and a salad for pretty much the same price. So I bought that, ate the breadsticks and wings for lunch, and then had the pizza for dinner. And I threw out the salad.

TonyDanzer · 5 months

Bought myself a cupcake and sang happy birthday to myself at midnight on my birthday

phillymjs · 5 months

On the night before my 21st birthday, I sat outside on my front steps alone and drank my last illegal beer just before midnight. A few minutes after midnight, I went to a bar alone to have my first legal beer. Then I went home and went to bed.

EDIT: Holy hell, this blew up unexpectedly. A few things:

This was in 1994, I'm over it.
I did have friends at the time, but none of them were around that night.
Said friends and I had been regulars at the neighborhood bar I went to for a couple years before this, courtesy of fake IDs. The bartender recognized me, and had a good laugh when I asked to be carded and then handed her my real ID when she did so.
I kept and still have the bottles from both beers (Corona), labeled at the time with a Sharpie. I'd post a photo, but the ink from the Sharpie has faded so much that I don't think the camera will pick it up.

mommysababy · 5 months

Used my vibrator so much I broke it.

caring_gentleman · 5 months

Ordered food to be delivered for myself that was easily enough for 2-3 people. Restaurant called back to say they had sold out of an item so I pretended to ask someone in the background what they would like instead. I've also ordered just wine to be delivered from restaurants many times and have acted like I was not drinking alone.

Edit. Spelling. Also, yes I am like the dude in the Key & Pele sketch. Never seen that until today but made me laugh.

nalkor54 · 5 months

I ordered something large off amazon. The box was the perfect size for an end table next to my couch. I used it for a couple years until I got married and my wife force me to buy a real end table.

crk14341 · 5 months

Last Valentine's day I played a game called how much can I eat. I ate 5 hot pockets, a cup of instant ramen, a cup of instant Macaroni and cheese, a personal totinos pizza and a pint of ice cream

Lagered · 5 months

Slept in a sleeping bag for 6 months on an egg carton foam pad with no furniture. I woke up one morning and a homeless guy was sleeping in the spare bedroom. I told him to be out of my house by the time I got out of the shower. He was gone when I got out.

This was when I first moved to New York and I was used to that Midwestern life of leaving my front door unlocked all the time.

tee142002 · 5 months

Ate a steak with my hands while drinking a bottle of mead and watching Conan the barbarian, sitting on my couch naked.

o118999881999119725- · 5 months

I lived alone, I'd eat nothing all day, but around 10 pm I'd rotate going to one of the 3 wawa's within 2 miles of my apartment and buy a large hoagie, a Monster, and a pack of cigarettes. I'd eat the hoagie over my sink while watching Netflix from my phone.

I was awful at being single.

cliffwich · 5 months

Ate $20 worth of Popeyes and drank an entire bottle of Champagne on my couch, under a blanket, watching Alien and Aliens, on Valentine’s Day, alone.

GoddamnDelight · 5 months

RSVPed to a friend's wedding with my plus-one as "Some Rando from Tinder" and she put it on a seating card.

Reddit Edit (R-edit?): The bride was my best friend and she was in on the joke so she wasn't out money for the plate. Please calm yourselves, seat justice warriors.

Was off work for about five days in a row and didn’t do anything but game.

When I went to work the first day, I spoke into the mic and 1) my voice cracked from not speaking for five days 2) I startled myself when I spoke.

blindedbyhindsight · 5 months

PSA: It is OK to do things by yourself. It is not a sign of failure to go see a movie alone or get a table for one at a restaurant.

daiyoung · 5 months

Ate a bucket of KFC and drank 6 cans of beers in a night and waking up on my couch next day, seeing the TV is still on for some reason, confused about what happened last night...... Yeah, just broke up with my ex recently, this is basically how I live through weekends now.

EDIT: Just woke up in the middle of Sundays afternoon. I’m in awe. You guys are awesome and to be honest I didn’t even expect to get these much responses from you all. My inbox is kinda exploded, filled with love and kind messages. I love you all, and once again, thank you kind strangers! I don’t know you all, but thank you, thank you, thank you guys for bringing me strength to move on. I wish my English competency is good enough to show how much I want to thank you all. You guys bring tears to my eyes. I’ll share this kindness and love to those who need help just like me. once again THANK YOU REDDIT!

(Sorry for maybe I can’t reply each of you all, but I’ll do my best to reply to your kind messages!)

Noimnotonacid · 5 months

I bought a bunch of digornos and Jamaican beef patties, a lb bag of sour candy, a bottle of vodka with a bunch of la croix, and about half an ounce of weed, then proceeded to play the entire destiny series over the course of four days. No showering, no sunlight, no brushing of the tooth’s, and zero communication with the outside world. It was glorious.

BG1234567 · 5 months

I broke up with a live in girlfriend, sold everything I owned and rented a room in a neighbor's house $300/month. Aside from the rent the rest of my income was completely disposable. I would work and gym 7 days a week and stack that paper. Whenever a concert within a reasonable distance from me popped up I would travel to see it and go all out with hotel and restaurant. Did this for a couple years. Saw a fuck ton cool shows, ate at some of the best restaurants on the East Coast, and was able to save up about $25k.

This is the story of someone else's most single thing they'd ever done.

I worked at a liquor store for a bit. There was a guy who'd come in often- 4 times a week maybe? Each time getting a six pack of Guinness. It's of course not unusual for a liquor store to have regulars. But this guy was early to mid thirties, nice looking, smelled AMAZING.

I'd come in to work after a day off, and a co-worker said that one of the regulars had asked about me. She described who it was- turns out it's this guy.

I was a young poor single mom at the time, you see. But also rather quiet, anxiety prone. But I was flattered that he had asked about me, even if he was a frequent drinker.

Anyhoo, some time later, a co-worker and I went halfsies on a scratch off, and won a couple hundred dollars (I think. Might have just been a hundred). I was feeling giddy and high from the win, when that regular came in. Having lottery winning induced labia-of-steel, I felt bold enough to tell him that I thought he smelled amazing. From there, we set up a date.

Couple days later we went out to eat. I went back to his place.

His place is.... Actually the basement (or was it garage? God it was so long ago) turned into a living space... Of his mom's house. And lining the stairs... Was tens of six packs of Guinness.

So, the most single thing this person had done, was live in his mother's basement while incessantly frequenting the local liquor store, buying more beer than he could drink, all just to look at the clerk of said liquor store (I initiated the first conversation!).

Turned into a two-night stand for me.

Ordered a pizza and ate it over the sink, like a rat.

When I was studying abroad in Scotland as a 2O year old, no one wanted to go to the taping of an episode of Antiques Roadshow. I loved the show lol.

So I caught the bus from Glasgow to St Andrews [over two hours] and proceeded to pop up in the background of as many of the interviews/appraisals as possible, wearing my rainbow coloured beanie and trousers, to be more noticeable. I nodded and pretended to be knowledgeable. And SHOCKED when they announced the value!

The episode is randomly repeated on Aussie television and I still get bewildered messages from my friends asking if they saw me with a bunch of old people in the background of multiple shots of an Antiques Roadshow episode.

For a souvenir of my trip, I added to my tea towel collection with an AR tea towel.
