Put the items in your preferred order.

Performative Politeness to Waiters
They flash a smile your way but bark at the poor soul bringing the tapas. A Wetherspoons character test they've quietly failed.

The Wishy-Washy Texter
Three-day reply gaps followed by 'haha sorry just saw this'. The emotional equivalent of a delayed Northern Rail service.

Splitting the Bill to the Penny
Calculator out, itemising the garlic bread. There's frugal, and then there's making your date feel like an HMRC audit.

The Constant Ex Mentioner
Funny how every pub, song and weekend trip somehow loops back to them. You're not a partner, you're a therapist on minimum wage.

Running for the Bus
Shallow? Absolutely. But watching them sprint for the 73 with arms windmilling has genuinely ended situationships across the nation.
