Inventions We Are Waiting For

Friendzone metre

Men, the eternal optimists, misread a greeting, a wink and a pat as a cue to get on the romance ship. On a daily basis ladies have to make a choice between being civil or being downright rude to ward off advances from men merely because they said ‘hi’ or ‘hey’. Note that ‘hey’ is now actually an accepted form of greeting in social circles and social media.  Men usually suffer elephantitis of the ego and mistake that wink for being smitten.  Some of these men have moral claims to being hunks as Idi Amin had to being the king of Scotland.
