When people wish they were single again

goo Ranking recently looked at the moments when people wish they were single again, for both women and men. 1,064 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire conducted on 5th and 6th of October 2012, about "What moments make you wish you were single again?".


Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.
