17 Cringe-Worthy Third Wheel Moments

For the majority of my semi-grown up life I have been the single friend, and I have made my peace with that. In all honesty, it really isn't that bad most of the time, especially when you're friends with both of them! 

But there are moments that are a little less than savory, moments when I really have felt like the third wheel. Did they do it on purpose? I doubt it, but that doesn't make the struggle any less real. 

That was until I saw these 16 pictures and realized that maybe I never had it that bad.

For the people below, being the third wheel is not just an occasional incident but a lifestyle they have mastered. 

1. High school memories.

2. This is an awkward third wheel moment in the making. 

3. Guess third wheels even happen between friends...sucks for that guy.

5. Sometimes there is no foreseeable end to being a third wheel.

6. What an intimate moment between friends.
