Adorable Third Wheel T-Shirts

The Third Wheel T-Shirt Cushions the Blow of Being Single

If you've ever suffered the fate of being the "single friend" in a sea of couples, you'll definitely relate to the third wheel t-shirt by Burger and Friends. Fortunately, the t-shirt cushions the blow of your perpetual singledom by including a picture of -- count 'em -- three fluffy kittens.

Although this t-shirt heightens the risk you face of being referred to as a "crazy cat lady," no one can deny that cats make everything better! And if your couple friends are making you feel awkward (blow out fight? steamy make out session?), you can always ignore them by staring down at your adorable kitty friends.

They say that two's company and three's a crowd, but this fun t-shirt seems to disagree; in fact, some of the best things in life are said to come in threes! Own your third wheel status proudly with this super cute tee.
