Things that annoy you about your friends

[Jedamethis]

One's a dickhead when he's bored. That's about it.

 

[Ultress]

Of my group of five, four of us can drive yet I always end up doing the driving unless I beg for one other guy to drive.I don't mind driving but a big part of my (actual)job is driving and I'd like to not do it when I'm not on a job occasionally.



My best friend has this unintentional habit of sounding like he's better than you and sometimes being outright snobby.He says things in the most obtuse way/makes a stilted joke and gets annoyed when no one gets what he means. Exampleeople in Japanese horror movies have different names means that Japanese horror movies follow different tropes. Love the guy to death but sometimes he just gets on my tits as I'm sure I do to him on occasion.

A particular gripe about my friends when playing online is that if I'm online I MUST BE IN A PARTY WITH THEM. They don't seem to understand that when I play a single player game I want to actually listen to the game and take it in, not constantly have people talking in my ear.

One of them truly thinks he's dark and mysterious when he's anything but, and it kind of annoys me as I'm the editor of his endless fanfics.

It's more of a situational thing really. I have a pair of friends that I'm closer with than my family. Recently our group is getting screwed over due to a set of catastrophic situations that keep on making life a bigger pain in the ass. One's been getting kicked out of his homes almost regularly, and the other is in a situation where hanging out is simply impossible due to shit hours given by work. Luckily there's still a bit of rebellious spirit in all of us, so we're saying "fuck that shit" and assuming direct control of our situations.

I've a friend who literally cannot listen to a song the whole way through. Whenever we have a "social gathering" of people at his, all we do is drink and talk shit while he flicks through music channels[footnote] When will he learn? There IS no good music on those channels![/footnote]. It's made worse with his music taste. I like none of it. It's not even easy-listening-we-can-talk-through-this music, it's the thrash-metal-voice-like-a-fucking-car-backfiring shit.

Same guy also gets at me for liking Final Fantasy. Never gave me a reason.

EDIT: Oh hold on! I got more about this guy! He went out of his way to delete his Facebook account[footnote]which my friends and I have established a pub group in. It's far easier than sending round a dozen texts[/footnote] then complains that he doesn't get invited out[footnote]believe me, I've asked him plenty of times but his response is ALWAYS "not tonight."[/footnote]. He also cheats on the women he's with, treats them like sex-slaves, generally looks like a douchebag, is obsessed with weightlifting and becomes a complete asshat when drunk, which is a lot.

Why do I still talk to this guy!?

 

[Alandoril]

Asking a mate if he wants to hang out, but always says "I think I might stay in with the GF." And I ask myself: but, dude you live with her...isn't that like every night?

Hate it when as soon as a woman enters the picture every other person in their lives gets relegated. But who will be expected to be on call at a moments notice when the relationship goes sour? Yup, good old muggins here.

One of my best friends from high school recently came out as a lesbian, and my friends and I want to be supportive. Unfortunately, they're the overly PDA couple in a big way. We'll just be sitting around in a circle chatting or playing a bored game or something, and they start making out, sliding their hands down each other's pants, etc. We all just kind of awkwardly sit there and let it pass. When we all go out to eat, they spend the whole time texting each other and only kind-of sort-of pay attention to the rest of the group. No one wants to complain about it though, because she gets all emotional about how we're only pretending to be accepting. Ugh, it's annoying.

Just tell your lesbian friend that it is fine to like girls but it is not okay to start making out when in a public situation, it's actually incredibly rude as you're clearly ignoring everyone else. Basically, get offended.

My friends don't really bug me that much. I kind of have two types of friends. One type is really boring and too up for sitting around not doing anything and the other type is far too up for going out and getting shitfaced for me to even keep up. I'd like to say I keep a healthy balance between the two but really I just lurch violently from one side of the spectrum to the other, somewhat alienating both sets of friends leaving me in the bloody deserted wilderness between the two with only passing contact with each.

More specifically, I have one friend who in the 8 years I've known him has called me up to organise something about 5 times. Every other time I have had to initiate it. It just gets on my tits is all...

That none of them are reliable enough to make decent house mates or for me to get them to do something back-breakingly important.

Then there's also the bunch of guys/girls I hang out with who are really nice blokes, but are ultra-PC. I.e. saying 'Nazi' around them will get them annoyed, EVEN IF YOU ARE DISCUSSING WORLD WAR II AND THUS NAZI'S ARE RELEVANT TO THE CONVERSATION.

They're nice guys, but you can't get offended by the discussing of Nazi's when NONE OF YOUR FAMILIES WERE INVOLVED IN WORLD WAR II. FUCK.

Bloody anti-nazi nazis...

 

[Nannernade]

I guess I'll talk about my friend from elementary school he was really fun to hang out with until he went off to college. Now whenever him and I have a conversation I could say something like what's going on man? I thought you were a little bored and we could have a conversation or something, and he will take that as some kind of great philosophical question that needs to be analyzed down to the smallest degree of correctness. What do you mean a conversation he would say, uhm... when two people talk about random things to each other...? Random things you say? What kind of random things? Urgh... I thought we were going to be talking not playing a game of twenty million questions.

 

[Goofguy]

They can be unreliable at times (not all but a select few). The one who lives closest tells me we should hang out sometime soon so I drop him a text on a Tuesday to see if he's available over the weekend, he responds by saying he'll check with the gf that night and then he never gets back to me. An other one of my friends will say he's looking at coming down from out of town in two weeks for a weekend. Two weeks later, I have to reach out to him to see if he's still coming and it's like he forgot: "Oh uh yeah dude, I'm not coming down, I don't feel like it anymore". Well fuck, you could have told me sooner instead of having me sit around my place waiting.

I still like all of my friends but damn, they annoy me sometimes.

 

[Dogstile]

I've noticed that my friends believe they are better than everyone else and therefore get annoyed when people don't listen to them (I think I do that too, so I don't think I can judge) or are just annoying because "hurr durr random humour iz funny". No it isn't, fuck off.

Aside from that, i'm sure we all have that one friend who will try to get with every single girl that get's introduced to everyone.

 

[Artina89]

How a "meet me at 1:00" becomes an "I'll show up at 1:30 despite telling you I'd be there at 1:00."

That's really the only annoying one that isn't really excusable to me (if it happens every time, which, for one friend, it does).

I have a friend who is like that. I like to be punctual and it annoys me when people don't show up on time and they don't have a good reason for doing so. To me, "I slept in" does not excuse someone for being late. They knew the date, they knew the time, and usually these are arranged in accordance to her schedule, and yet she thinks its a viable excuse. It is an argument we have had many a time. Wow, I kinda went on a little rant there didn't I? But still, it irks me no end.

 

[Musette]

One of my friends likes to pretend that nothing surprises her. I ask her if she's seen some funny obscure video on the Internet, and she tends to say "yes" or "I've heard of it, but let's watch it anyway" when she has no clue what it is. Then when she watches it, she always has a sort of first-time reaction. She does this concerning concerning almost every topic I bring up to her, and it starts to grate after a while.

Also, a former close friend of mine threw away our friendship over a dispute with my twin sister and has taken to extreme levels of passive aggression whenever she interacts with me or my circle of friends. It's sad really.

Other than that, I only get riled up when some of my friends are consistently late or decide that their dating life is more important than their friendships.

 

[ImBigBob]

As an introvert, I tend to make friends with a lot of other introverts. As a result, it's extremely difficult to get friends together to actually go out and do something because they'd rather stay at home studying or something. So my choice becomes whether to hang out with people who I have little in common with, or don't hang out at all.

 

[Brutal Peanut]

I don't really have anyone (besides my husband) that I would label as a 'friend', to be honest. So,.....

 

[deathzero021]

i'll tell you what annoys me about friends >:\

... i has none

oh well, F$#% em! who needs em? not me, i'm bad @$$!... hey, so you wanna be friends anyone? >_>


-------
all joking aside, i can't really comment much here since i dont have any friends. past experiences? not sure if anything specifically was annoying about friendship, i'm pretty sure that's something that comes down to the individual. the only common annoyance may have been fighting about what to do as a group. we would have to get democratic to make any decisions xD

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

My friends are imaginary, so there's that, get's quite annoying after a while. I just make new ones to counter it though.

 

[Flamezdudes]

How a "meet me at 1:00" becomes an "I'll show up at 1:30 despite telling you I'd be there at 1:00."

That's really the only annoying one that isn't really excusable to me (if it happens every time, which, for one friend, it does).

This. I'm always on time for almost everything and will try to get places early so it's annoying when others don't show up on time.

Another thing is that one of my friends has these... mood changes where he'll just be a complete ass for a week and inconsiderate to everything. Another one of the friends in my group of friends hardly makes any attempts to contact and spend time with any of us so we have to go the extra mile to even speak to him.

My overall best friend can also appear to me to be a bit arrogant sometimes with what he's confident with and sometimes may just shrug off your points.

 

[cerealnmuffin]

The few friends that I have are all online ones, and still only a few at that. Sure I have seen a couple in person (just once) and been friends for a long time, I really miss seeing someone in person. Any acquaintances I have don't share my interest for games or books. =( I'd love to just have a day of going to museums, arcade, and then play some really hard game on nes or something with someone who'd not consider all of that to be boring. *cuddles up with her books and cries* Time to go play depressing music on piano.

 

[Something Amyss]

Friends on Facebook who constantly post things above how they love their beautiful/gorgeous sweeties.

The fact that everyone I know buys up the new COD every year like clockwork, then after about 3 days starts bitching about how horrible/stupid/unfair it is and how everyone cheats/spawncamps/is a racist. This is nothing against CoD and not a complaint about shooters so much as continuously having to listen to people ***** about game they can't wait to rebuy every year despite hating it.

Friends who talk over me continuously.

One of my best friends from high school recently came out as a lesbian, and my friends and I want to be supportive. Unfortunately, they're the overly PDA couple in a big way. We'll just be sitting around in a circle chatting or playing a bored game or something, and they start making out, sliding their hands down each other's pants, etc. We all just kind of awkwardly sit there and let it pass.

Live by example. Find a dude to constantly make out with and grope and show them how annoying it is.

...This may not work for everyone.
