Living Alone Will Drive You Insane

Want to live alone? You’ll be paying for it in more ways than one.

In one of the more entertaining New York Times trend pieces we’ve read, the author sheds light on all the ways going solo can turn you crazy.

One in four Americans now live alone (one in two if you are talking about New York City), so that means one in four Americans have the freedom to do one or all of these things:

• Eat peanut butter naked in the kitchen at 2 a.m.
• Run in place during TV commercials
• Speak conversational French to yourself while making breakfast
• Sing Journey songs in the shower (well, we do that anyway)
• Remove only the clothes you need from the dryer, thus turning it into a makeshift dresser
• Wear white flax pantaloons around the apartment
• Never, ever close the bathroom door
• Put a Post-It note up reminding yourself to close the door when people come over
• Ask your cat’s opinion on your writing
• Eat six or seven times an hour, mainly cereal
• Drink champagne in the shower at 8 a.m.
• Play Madden for 10 hours straight
• Forget to put a skirt on and leave the house that way
