I have a friend who is kind of like that, but not because he thinks he's edgy or anything, he just tries too hard. He never stops talking when others tell him to, and he makes some of the most awkward jokes in the world. He's still likeable, and we hung out alot before I moved away, but it's still worth saying.

I have a friend that thinks he's so politically savvy, when he has NO CLUE what the fuck he's talking about. He also pretends to be better than everyone because he's in the drumline for marching band, and he blames FUCKING EVERYTHING that happens on the hornline (which I'm in). In fact, ANYTHING that happens gets the blame passed on to someone else. Not only that, but he rarely shows a shred of humanity. I've seen it once, and I was absolutely shocked to see him feel a human emotion other than rage and selfishness.

Even worse is that he tries to peer pressure me into going to everything. He tried to get me to go to Friendly's at 10 pm and I was TIRED(I was running on 4 hours of sleep after 7.5 hours of school and 5.5 hours of marching band). I tell him I'm tired and he says "OH, IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT, YOU CAN'T WASTE FRIDAY NIGHT!" and follows me trying to force me into going and being an overall *****. I finally just tell him to go fuck off and I discover he has the sense to back off. This was especially annoying since the one thing I hate more than ANYTHING is people trying to pressure me into doing things I don't want to. It drives me INSANE.

Also, he hangs with the nerds, and tries to be as cool as possible. It's hilarious. Everyone else in our group enjoys playing games to some degree, as does the dumbass (as he will be referred to from now on). However, dumbass plays it down way too much. He's not playing Modern Warfare 2 either, he's playing shit like Kingdom Hearts, and he tries to convince us he's not a nerd. Oh, did I mention he's in at least 4 AP classes in junior year? Yeah, not a nerd my ass. Sure, he gets girlfriends when the rest of us don't, but they all generally hate his guts by the end of the relationship.

I'm kinda blowing off steam here, so excuse me. He can actually be cool, on very rare occasions. Usually he's a douchebag. The only reason we hang with him is because one of my friends is extremely conservative, and dumbass is the only other real conservative in the group.

While I sure as hell do not do most of the things you've listed above, I often feel as if I am said dickhead friend in my circle of friends.

Not that I've ever been called out on it, but my self awareness makes me sad sometimes.

In high school bunch of people used to think I was that friend, because the person that WAS that friend, went around convincing everyone I was a total douche, then one day we all sat around and actually talked, and everyone was like yo, Jimson your actually really smart X said you were an idiot, and a total douche bag, and all other kinds of mean shit, trust me, I went off on him when i found him, we pretty much excluded him from our group of friends, and he even went around trying to spread lies that I was Gay (Theres nothing wrong with being gay and all that shiz, my parents are very conservative and if they ever found out I was really gay they would disown me)

Ugh, talk about Wall Of Text (I read it, though)

Anyway, yeah, those kinda friends can be annoying. I've had few of them myself. But to be honest, I've been similar person sometimes too. And sometimes you don't even see it yourself.

Thank God my friends then talked to me about it. So that's what you should try too. Talk to him.

When the zombies come, chain him up in the shed and play PlayStation with him. And mind the farts.

"being one of those annoying atheists who can't just not believe in religion"

That was unnecessary, also a little hypocritical.

Tell me about it.

This friend of mine, is always harrassing everyone. Just to have a laugh out of it, for example he know goes into classrooms at lunch time and just lays face down on the floor for kicks. He think's he is so tough but when one of the very popular kids gets on his ass, he shits himself.

And for fuck sake, i get most of the shit from this guy. He can be funny, but most of the time he's just taking the piss out of me.

Perhaps we should set up both of our asshole friends and they can stay together. Imagine the stupidity they would get up with together.

And, oh yeah i read the whole paragraph. :D

tl;dr.

But I have a friend like that, thinks he's Christ on a cracker. Especially in WoW, he acts like he knows everything there is to know, and while he's not bad at it, he's a dick the entire time.

I'm proud of myself. Read through the wall of text and all of the replies (except for the ones that were just repeating what the OP said).

I actually found some of those characteristics in myself, but mostly in a milder form. I do laugh at some religious people, but I don't think that the majority of religious people believe in shit like (I actually found this in a comment section of a newspaper): dinosours existed before adam and eve but where killed by god because humans back then fucked animals. My jokes are often a bit inappropriate, but I (think I) know when to stop. I don't really rant on politics too much, unless I actually bother reading about it first. On the other hand, most of the people like the person in the OP think this way, so maybe I am a bit of a dick myself.

And on friends who annoy me: I have a friend, who just makes fun of everything I do, doesn't seem to have any respect for me and makes absolutely retarded claims like "scifi and games cannot be art because they are being used by nerds. I'm a victim of society". When I mention about this, she just gets really angry. I talk about this to my sister, she immediately tells my friend and she gets even more angry. I wonder why I even bother to hang out with people like this.

Okay, assuming you don't want to man up and have a conversation with this guy about his annoying habits or whatever, here's what you gotta do:

Start a fight with him. Not a physical fight or anything, just wait for him to say something stupid/inflammatory, then pick a fight with him. Escalate it. Make it about every fight you've ever had and a few you made up. Get angry. Foam at the mouth. Wait for him to call you hitler (it's inevitable, you could be taking about the Care Bears and it would come to that) and then say, "I've fucking had it with you, man", and then walk out. Block his texts, remove him from facebook, never speak to him again. You're free!

Beware the effect this could have on your circle of friends, though. If they all don't hate him as much as you do, the fact you're being kind of an asshole could lead to a mass exodus to His side, which would be counter productive.

But well, anyway. I guess this is why we shouldn't spend so much time being polite to people we don't like . . .

If it wasn't clear, I meant someone who instead of just being quietly non-religious (like the majority of atheist people) feels the need to make comments they think are snide and clever whereby, in reality, they are just dickheaded, annoying, stupid and the most of the time, completely wrong (as in the example where he thought Christians didn't believe in gravity. He genuinely thought he was being funny.)

I bear many of these qualities myself, heheh.
Though, to be fair, I know someone like that. Some of the things, god....

You mentioned the aggressive aetheist? Try aggresive agnostic. He does not tell everyone there is no god, you are all wrong, he instead with his big smug smile, tell everyone that neither has been proven, all of you are arguing out of emotion and likely wrong. I am sure he feels soooo superior.

On the note of lame jokes, he is constantly the one to spring to 'your mothers' or whatever other uninspired mindnumbind dreck he is fixiated with. Worse, it seems to infect others, those who are normally more interesting than that when they feel like trying to be clever, but around him....it spreads. He also insists on swearing like a sailor, and whenever pressed about it, guess what, he swears back. I tell him that it bothers me, but unfortunately, that is just fuel to the fire.

He is the first to tell everyone else how he feels, and never lets anyone do the same about him. He blames everyone else, tells them about it, tells them to leave the group, etc. The problem is...another companion of mind was just with a few associates of his. But this dick friend is antisocial and contact with anyone is jaded and awkward. He does not put up with anything, shouts at people to leave, apparently the idea has not hit him that he is not the figurehead of our group and others may want to see us....

In his insecurities he is worried that he might sound a little high pitched, and thus deems it necessary to keep his voice at a constant 'gravel tone'. I tell him what he says comes across as a monotone blur that grates on my ears, but nooo.....apparently it is more important that he never show any emotion in speech.

He loves to rain on everyone's parade. He has had a heated arguement with someone about how hapiness dulls the mind, and emotions of any kind are a mental illness. I get heated when I argue about things, and often find my voice raising. He then puts on his gravel and asks what I am getting so worked up about....

He does not take criticism or opposition, anytime I point out his flaws he likes to, as mentioned above, swear back. Or turn it around to make me the bad guy. Every time I ask for him to just put an effort and stop being so affronting to everyone.....on that note, another friend of mind has been dubbed by the dick as 'moralfag'. He once told the dick that he should probably do his chemistry work, and that he should not tell horrible stories about the cruel things he has done. He was then told to shut the f up, moralfag.

He cannot maintain a commited relationship with anyone, and thus feels it necessary to make horrid jests mostly aimed at me, as I am the only one in a relationship with a woman. The trouble is, for many complicated reasons that I do not want to speak about here, I do not spend much time with her at school, so he is constantly on about that. Or he can just switch 'mother' in his horrid jests to 'Chelsea'.

That is just the beginning of it.....though of course I have skimmed over the positives. Either way....

Do what I do:

He talks over chat? Ignore him!
He joins a game and pesters you to join it with him? Ignore him!
He makes inane comments on facebook? Stop using facebook, it's crap anyway!
He sends you a text? Pretend you don't have credit on your phone!

I used to know a really annoying guy at college, I never him any details that would allow him to annoy me out of college hours but a couple of my friends did and they regretted it.

Do him a favour and tell him. He probably doesn't even know he's like that.
If he's anything like the guy I used to know you could say right to his face that he is the most annoying person you have ever met and he would genuinely take it as a compliment.

That's not a choice. This friend seems to always be around. You can't get rid of them. I have this friend. My God, it hurts...
They must not be so bad then, since if they were, you would definitely find a way to get rid of them.
