It seems as if being single in your mid to late twenties is the worst thing in the world for some people. Your friends seem to make it a personal goal to find you someone special by a certain timeframe. I mean I know there are some perks to having a boyfriend or girlfriend. However, the single life is not the worst thing in the world either. There are worse things in the world.
1. Being dead.
I know it is THE obvious answer of all time but hey, some people have a rather shaky grasp of the obvious.
2. Never finishing high school.
Finding a job is hard enough without the "right" college degree, so I can only imagine it being even more difficult for someone who does not have a high school diploma.
3. Not having a college degree
To college or to be forever alone?

I am fortunate to have obtained both an associate's degree and a bachelor's degree.
4. Being unemployed.
Because being in your late 20s AND completely financially dependent on your parents is no fun.
5. Being homeless.
If I had to choose between having a significant other or having a roof over my head, I am obviously going to choose having a roof over my head.
6. Abnormal pap smears.
I am fortunate to not have had this happen to me, but I can only image how terrifying it must be to experience this.
7. Friendship breakups.
Friendship breakups can even be more painful than relationship breakups.
8. Being sick.
Being sicks blows, plain and simple.
9. Not having a work/school/life balance
Nothing will throw you off like having no balance in your professional AND personal life.
10. Buffering videos.
Can they just play my show, please?!

Easily one of the most irritating things in the world is trying to watch a video on Netflix, Hulu, etc. and it buffers, and buffers..
11. Not knowing someone's wi-fi password.
Unlimited data is only unlimited for so long, so being able to use wi-fi whenever I can helps me greatly.
12. Spending all day with someone you cannot stand.
Life is too short to spend all day with someone you really cannot stand being around.
13. War.
War is no fun for anybody.
14. Famine
Nobody should be forced to go hungry, ever.
15. Bad dates.
Hopefully you were not the one who had to pay for it.
16. Your food order getting messed up.
Not only did your order get messed up, now you have to wait even longer for the right order to be prepared.
17. Clocks moving an hour ahead.
Hey! Give my hour back! I NEED it!

Who wants to lose an hour of sleep?
18. Losing a loved one.
Knowing you will never see or hear someone you love again (at least in this life) is one of the worst feelings in the world.
19. Your car getting totaled.
This just happened to me a few months ago. While I like the car that I have now more than my old one, my old car could (and should) have lasted several more years.
