People are sharing the signs that ‘scream someone is single’ and the answers will have you sobbing into your microwave meal for one

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single person is very easy to spot in the wild, even if they’re trying hard to hide their (lack of) relationship status.

Over on r/AskReddit, user Riff_lick601 asked the simple question:

‘What screams “I’m single”?’

And the unpartnered folk among us got their answers in quicker than you can say ‘Bridget Jones’.

‘When I was in college, single, and broke, I went to the grocery store and they had these really…adequate frozen spicy chicken sandwiches on sale for like 25 cents a pop. I grabbed all of them.

‘I went to ring up, the cashier said ‘Wow, that’s…a lot. These must be really good.’ I responded with ‘Eh, they fill the hole.’

‘Dude scanned a couple more in silence and asked ‘So, you’re like, really single, aren’t you?’.’
