At the moment most of my close friends are in relationships and some of them are just having one nightstands. But, I am one of the few singletons in our group for friends. So I often 'third wheel'. However, my friend Bry is in a relationship, my friend Elizabeth at the time was in a relationship as well as my friend Annie was in a relationship as well. So I, the single pringle, sat there with my friends and their boyfriends eating lunch and talking. This is when I started to wonder 'Does this really count as third-wheeling? It is more like seven-wheeling. My friend group at that moment in time had more wheels to it than a Double Decker Bus.
So when I use the phrase 'third-wheeling' it is never literally for that number. Or in fact literally at otherwise you would end up with a car like the Robin Reliant from The Only Fools and Horses.
I've heard that in some American Dinner's they actually have 3 seating booths which is quite good until it gets to eating. Especially if they do the whole 'Lady and the Tramp' meatballs escapade and the fact is that a string of spaghetti has only two ends not three.
