15 Reasons to Remain Single
July 3, 2007 by LiteraryPrincess
Published in Dating
Single is in! I’ll give you one good reason why you should remain single and if you don’t like that reason, I’ll give you four-teen more reasons why being single isn’t so bad.
- Personal Belongings: Everything stays exactly where you put it and that’s where you’ll find it when you go back for it (unless your house is haunted).
- Noise Level: Don’t feel like listening to loud music or a blaring television? Great news! You don’t have too!
- The Bathroom: You’ll never have to fight over whether the toilet tissue is to be pulled “over or under”. You’re not on a schedule, there isn’t anyone getting in the shower before or after you. There’s no rush so, take a few extra minutes to brush your teeth (don’t forget your tongue). And WOW, you can even “use the bathroom” without closing the door (please, only try this trick at home).
- Conversation: You can talk to yourself and answer (if you choose to) and no will ever ask who you’re talking to or question your sanity.
- Closet Space: All of the closets belong to YOU (that’s a major plus ladies)!
- Leftovers: That lasagna that you cooked last night and have been anxious to get home to all day will still be in the refrigerator when you get home.
- Thermostat: You have complete and total control over the temperature in your home. Chances are, if you weren’t single you’d have to tolerate temperatures that aren’t found on a normal thermostat like, 1° Cooler than Hell or 3° below Frost Bite .
- Undressing: Kick your shoes off wherever you want! Who’s going to complain? This rule even applies to undies.
- Leaving/Returning Home: When you open your front door to walk in or walk out, you’re NEVER asked questions that are sometimes rather annoying such as, “Where have you been?” or “Where are you going?” Isn’t it obvious that you’re going out, when you open the door from the inside anyway?
- Telephone Calls: You never have to stress your vocal cords by screaming, “Pick up the phone it’s for you!”
- Uninvited/Unwanted Guests: You never have to entertain in-laws. Enough said?
- Fighting Neighbors: You can sigh with relief when you hear the couple next door fighting and be thankful that you don’t have to go through that.
- Decorating: You can make the decision to paint your walls red, white and blue with green clovers, yellow moons and orange oranges and never have to stop and ask, “What do you think?”
- Bedtime:Jump in! The bed is ALL yours, either side. Sleep at the top, sleep at the bottom, you can even try sideways. You won’t have to worry about losing sleep due to someone snoring and that dried up drool on the pillowcase, it’s just yours!
- Unbroken: Unbroken, a word found in the dictionary under the word single . Single means, unbroken. Unbroken means, not broken. And we all know how the saying goes, “If it’s not broken, don’t try to fix it.”

Dustin it is so rude to peddle your articles on someone else’s page. and telling someone that your article was better than theirs is even more rude.why not do like everyone else and write something that is going to be read because it is good enough to make them want to read it. people leave comments when they feel they want to not because you tell them to.

I am married with 2 kids, I have a sister who is single, and we both envy each other’s lives. She gets to travel, and now she is back in school getting her masters, I have a great husband and kids, and it is likely that she will never have that. There are definitely advantages and disadvantages to both.
