It happens all the time; so surely you or someone you know can relate to poor Rachael Ryan’s plight?

The 23-year old from Portlaoise is apparently not alright with the decision of her best friend Katy to settle down with her boyfriend.

Taking matters into her own hands, Rachael took to Facebook in an effort to find a replacement.

The electrician decided that after Katy and her boyfriend Daniel made things official this week, she was going to need someone to fill the Katy-shaped void in her life.

She is careful to stress that she is very happy for the pair and wishes them the best of luck in the future.

However, she is not going to let her talk fall on deaf ears: “Sadly, I have lost the person that is always there 24/7, to listen to me talk sh*te,” she wrote, “since Katy does not have the hours to keep up with me, a ‘new best friend’ position has opened up.”

Speaking to the Irish Mirror Rachael says that she wrote the post “for the craic” after seeing news of the new couple’s status all over social media. She added that the reaction to her own post was something she never expected.

She explained that both Katy and Daniel have taken the joke well (good to know) and that she knows Katy isn’t disappearing forever:

“Even though Katy has a boyfriend, she’ll always be my best friend.”
