Hi, I am in this situation sometimes. I have been in this situation 2 times. First time me and two friends hang out a lot then one day they decidied I was "bad" and they shruged me off. But anyway, a third wheel is when you are in a three way friendship and the 2 other friends just decide the other one isn't needed or they don't like him/her.

It means that you are unnecessary, like a third wheel on a bicycle would be. You might hear this phrase when two people want to be alone; a friend could say "I guess I'm the third wheel here."

I think you actually mean A FIFTH WHEEL -- the term "third wheel" isn't one I've ever heard. It means just what the above says, but it's fifth as in most automobiles have four wheels.

The expression is: like a fifth wheel (on a car) and it means useless and rather in the way. Said of an unpaired person whose presence is awkward at a gathering.
