Things that annoy you about your friends

[Jolly Co-operator]

I honestly can't think of anything. I have plenty of friendly acquaintances who have habits that annoy me a bit, but in my closest circle of four best friends, I really can't think of anything they do that annoys me. Maybe I just like them so much that the effects of things they do that would normally annoy me are lessened, or maybe there really isn't anything they do that bothers me. I'm not sure. Either way, I can' think of a damn thing. Realizing this has actually cheered me up quite a bit

That was one of the best posts I've ever read on these forums.

I'm not sure if tabletop games that exist as you described really exist or if you're just completely making it all up, but man, you should be a salesman for Wizards of the Coast or something.

well, when described, it always sounds a bit different, but everything i mentioned did happen in the game in our first campaign, and it has only gotten more grimdark from there.

anyway, im glad you found my rant entertaining, though i get the feeling ranting as a sales pitch won't go over well for trying to advertise a game that is so absolutely open to interpretation, where literally anything you want can happen.

A lot of my friends take ages to text back, which is really frustrating :/ I've generally already made other plans by the time they respond to my texts.

this is one of my favorite things about regular ol' telephone calls. if/when they pick up, you get things laid out right then and there like they are in the same room. Very efficient.

nothing against texting, i just dont like how it seems to have phased out regular phone calls. Not just from an efficiency standpoint, but from the fact that it's nice to hear someone's voice, and because texting is so mainstream nowadays, it seems nobody ever answers the phone anymore.

except for my group of buddies. they always pick up when the phone is near. its great. but there have been a good few times where i would call someone, and then they would send me a text in response. no, i dont want to text, i want to talk. is that too much to ask in 99% of situations? (because if they are in a place where it is too loud to hear, or in class or something, i can understand not wanting to use a telephone)

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.

Thinks they're dark and mysterious? Like the other 5000000 of his kind? I know the type. Write's fanfics?

Kill Them...

 

[Xaio30]

Some of them thinks it perfectly reasonable for me to silently listen to them talking about any little thing that happened to them.

God damn it people, I DON'T CARE.

Not to say anything, but as far as I am concerned:
Until he stops writing fanfiction and starts writing strictly original material, he can say goodbye to being dark and mysterious.

The guy who doesn't realize his so-called "sardonic sense of humor" often manifests itself in smug and mean-spirited ways that aren't amusing anyone other than him.

(And he wonders- at length- why he can't keep a girlfriend for more than a couple of months...!)

 

[Alssadar]

My best bud is rather depressed, and often gives up on games because he thinks he "sucks at them." This sometimes happens when we're playing together, and it stinks because he no longer has any fun with it.
He also says that marching band is a waste of time, although he has regrets about not joining it. I believe that's where the problem lies.

I also have some friends who are entirely obsessed with Magic the Gathering after before-mentioned depressed friend introduced it to them. Like, buying $100 worth of Ravnica fat packs, building a couple decks, proxy-ing, spending hours working deck strategies and such. They're also fiercely competitive, and take the fun out of Magic, as there's no back-and-forth power struggle-just I PUT DOWN 8 6/6 CENTAUR TOKENS EACH TURN! D:

I have friends who are forty five minutes late to their own birthday party. That takes TALENT.

Beyond that, we generally don't annoy each other.

I feel your pain, being the fanfic editor is so much more satisfying when the friend in question doesn't try to be dark and mysterious. I've done it for two friends, one dark and one goofy. The dark one put out depressing crap about Aeris dying and Inception all being a dream of a dying man, the goofy one made me edit his (clean) Regina Spektor/Charles Mingus slash fiction he read to me with Microsoft Sam.

Guess which was more fun!

I have a friend who's only topics of conversation are rape, sodomy and the nazi's. Yeah, its exactly how it sounds

Sounds like a lot of fun....

 

[Cheery Lunatic]

I have a friend who invites himself over to my room all the time
Like, he doesn't even think about it, he just texts "hey I'm coming over in like 30 minutes"
Or he phrases the question like I'd be a super bad person if I say no
He just ASSUMES that I spend every single waking moment wanting to hang out with him
And it pisses me the fuck off.

He's also pretty needy. He often texts "omg I haven't seen you in so long"
And I'm like... "we hung out two days ago"
"BUT THAT'S SO LONGGGG"

Don't get me wrong, we've been friends for years and I love him despite his faults but man he just really gets on my nerves sometimes

Yeah. and then I've got another friend who used to be a satanist, is a bassist in a heavy metal band, knows a guy who has 3 drug dealers living on his street (one of whom deals watered down Anthrax), has an ice-cream man who also sells weed and knows a guy who apparently got caught fondling his dogs testicles..... this is one guy, everyone

I'll raise you a friend who has several dealers, is a militant anarchist, regularly breaks down crying for no reason whatsoever and has a video of one of her friends doing it doggy style.
With his dog.

Let's just say that I terminated the friendship soon after she told some very bad lies about me to people I care about....

 

[Saviordd1]

Oh god, I've been needing to do this for a long time.

I'll use made up nicknames for them for safety. (These are all actual nicknames and terms of endearment in a weird way believe it or not, I have one too)

Shiny
1: He's completely pussywhiped and as a rule I can't respect anyone who allows themselves to be walked over.
2: He has an annoying tendency to say something that makes no sense, get mad when we don't understand it, and piss us all off when he says "nevermind."
3: He asks for help, then gets offended when we tell him harsh truths.

Blindy
1: A small complaint but HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO FUCKING INSTANT MESSAGE. He can't write sentences and it grates on me for some reason. Example: hell writ a setnace like this and not profread it.
2: I like to keep to myself, and some days I don't want to talk about me at all. He decides these are the perfect times to ask exactly whats going on in my life and gets mad when I tell him I don't want to talk about it.
3: His breath stinks to the point of utter ridiculousness.

Distractable
1: She's overly passive aggressive and prefers to get mad through small ways. I'd rather be told to knock something off then to get passive aggressive "whatever" comments for the entirety of the day.

Thinwoman
1: To many motherfucking mind games, being her friend is in someways like a bad relationship, we can't figure shit out and get into arguments every other week.

Diabetes
1: His lack of any form of aspirations annoys the shit out of me, he has no dreams, no drive and lives off his mom.

Pastey
1: It's partially due to his minor form of aspergers but he will never admit when he's right and his arguments always devolve into "Your stupid".
2: He's fucking lazy as all hell.

Titty Smoker
1: She twists moods far to easily and her bad moods are just the biggest pain in the ass.
2: She has no self respect.

Short Cummins
1: She likes to be a bit of a drama queen.
2: She likes to complain too much.

Berserker
1: He's kinda awkward to talk to, it unnerves me.
2: He's childish, getting all mopey when things don't go his way.


That's it, my complaints about the people I deal with on a normal basis.

While it's all negative on this page I actually love these guys/gals to death (Not that I would ever say that mind you).

 

[Saviordd1]

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

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

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

Well, the fact that I don;t have any friends is probably the most annoying thing...<.<

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

My least favorite thing about one of my friends is that we'll have this day of hanging out and gaming planned a week in advance. Then he won't be home when I'm coming over and I find out later that he completely forgot and went to hang out with another friend. It probably is never intentional but it still stings...
