Sometimes the best way to deal with an irritating question, is a hilarious response.

There are a handful of questions that generally make people feel crappy. Did you just start dating someone? Immediately people want to know if you're moving in together/getting married?

Just get married? When are you having kids?

Junior in high school? Where are you going to college?

You get the picture. One of the most irritating questions that a single person gets asked is, "why are you still single?"

What in the world is the correct answer to that? I guess the legit response is, "because I don't have a boyfriend..." but turns out there are 27 other amazing answers for this specific irritating question.

I almost want to call my grandma so she can ask me why I'm single just to respond with "I only date people named Fergus and I haven’t found a person named Fergus yet." She would be intensely confused.

These are my faves:

2. My favorite band is Flo Rida.

4. I only date people named Fergus and I haven’t found a person named Fergus yet.

6. I’m a pansexual. But in this sense I mean that I’m only attracted to Peter Pan.

9. I get more excited about the idea of watching Netflix while wearing elastic waistband sweatpants than I do about the idea of connecting emotionally with another human being.

12. I used to buy those key chains from Claire’s that said stuff like “Sorry I Don’t Speak Idiot” so I think it’s all pretty self-explanatory from there.

14. I accidentally laughed at this person who fell on the treadmill when I was at the gym, so I don’t think I don’t deserve another person’s love right now.

15. I voted for Sanjaya when he was on American Idol.

21. I didn’t cry when I watched the Budweiser horse commercial during the Super Bowl.

22. I have trouble making commitments unless it’s to Birchbox.

26. My favorite movie is Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch.
