Batchelorisation

I was recently introduced with the concept of batchelorisation, which happens
when your prtner leaves you to go away for a few days. There doesn't seem to be a formal definition of this word, so this is my attempt

Steps to batchelorisation

  1. Dishes, cups and cutlery must be allowed to accumulate in the sink
  2. The remains of the takeaway (preferably curry) should be left on the kitchen table
  3. Clothes, when removed, should be left where they were taken off, magazines, papers etc strewn around the place
  4. Shoes should be kept on after muddy walks and wiped on ALL available carpet space
  5. Don't shave for entire period
  6. You may clean your teeth, but on no account should you rinse out the sink after doing so.
  7. When partner returns, greet said partner with a grunt and continue watching TV. ON NO ACCOUNT should you give any indication that you missed partner being around.
  8. After partner has settled in, cleared sink, cleaned bathroom, carpets and picked up clothes, you should ask what present they bought you from wherever they've been.
  9. Look hurt and surprised when partner throws plates/cutlery/sink/dog at you and walks out
  10. start again at 1.
