Did you ever just have some of those weird times alone at home that you never would have thought of? What are some of your single strange perks? I'm almost afraid to ask!

Single perks...hmm...tonight was ghetto music night in my place- I listened to all the stupid, mindless music I have on my hard drive as I was studying and bobbing my head in rhythm. Good times...
I don't have to ask permission before I change the channel on the TV either. I left my dinner dishes in the kitchen sink because I didn't feel like taking 5 extra seconds to put them in the dishwasher. I'm only halfway into my PJs right now because I keep getting these brilliant thoughts that I have to record before I lose them... How's that for perks, eh?

Anyway, wierd perks of being single... I've gotten to blare my heavy metal with out getting yelled at to either turn it down or turn it off. The actual perk though was when the moose came to my window and jammed out with me.  Good times |

Now that is a properly weird perk - getting to enjoy spitting water on your cat while reading CF! I'm glad it brought a smile. Originally Posted by Snowhite I can eat crackers in bed too
(Note: Raanan has some percieving of truth. God does good work. :^) )
BTW - I think the moth got company and made it a toasty party. On the other hand, that doesn't even vaguely compare to the moose coming and hanging out - that's pretty cool. Hmmm - I wonder if I could rent a moose to see what it's like....

When I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night (turning on the light) moths come ramming in to the window screen. |

Strange single perks-I can drink oj straight from the carton and nobody cares, I can leave my bed unmade if I so desire, I can have dinner at 5:30 or 10:00 and it can be a piece of cheesecake if that is what I want, I can watch all the chick flicks I want and not be harassed about it, my tv remote now skips over all those sports channels it once had to stop on and I always get the first shower!

Hehehe...ok, here's one. Anyone else hate cleaning out the refrigerator? Show of hands?
Anyway, I love rotel dip, but I can never eat all of it (see cooking for single people thread), so there's always some left over that sits in the tupperware, growing stuff. I don't think much about it, I just know not to eat it. The other day my ex-boyfriend came over starving to death (as usual!), and said "Hey, you want to eat some of this rotel dip with me?" I had to rush into the kitchen and grab the bowl away from him before he ate any of it. lol Anyway, I like being single because I don't have to keep people out of the health hazard that is my refrigerator (most of the time!).

Reps: 1,238,324 (power: 1,259) | | | I also like to fall asleep watching TV. Until recently, I only had 1 TV, so I would fall asleep on the couch and then wake up in the middle of the night and go to bed. I'm pretty sure that wouldn't work out so well in a married relationship.
Now I've got an extra TV, so I just set the sleep timer on my bedroom tv. maybe a little less quirky, maybe not!

Plus, no dishes. Single dudes can just eat over the sink.
