Foo - The annoying things my friends do.

I have a friend who puts on a sock and a shoe and a sock and a shoe. Not a sock and a sock and a shoe and a shoe. I don't know why but it kills me everytime. And then he wears white socks pulled up to the knees with black shoes and different colored shorts. Why does this annoy me? OMG! :eek: I sound like mer--- Oh well. :rolleyes:

What are the annoying things YOUR friends do?

along the sock category: I have a friend that will wear one sock inside out and the other one right side out. she a) doesn't notice when she is getting dressed in the morning, then b) will deny it when I point it out to her. augh!

Cussing. My friend Melissa cusses like there is no tomorrow. I mean...she looks like a toughie and acts like a toughie but she really shouldn't cuss in front of her kids like that. And it's not very lady like to boot!

Indecisive Friend: just tell me you don't want to do/go/see...whatever....don't try to be polite and come up with silly reasons that you can't...yikes!

Really. Be straight up. :rolleyes:

My friend spends way too much time playing world of warcraft. Granted he just does it to sell profiles he builds up to idiots around the world who will pay him for them, but its still annoying.

My friends can't except that I don't want to go to church functions. They both call me multiple times before the function, and can't except the word no. If I say no, they decide they are going to come and get me. If I say "yes" or "I suppose", and don't go they call me a liar and are frustrated and pissed at me. So today I worked hard from like 12-5. I just wanted to relax. They both call me before hand, annoying the shlt outta me. Then one friend comes over to get me, f'ing emabarases the crap outta me. A whole lot of awkard conversion and 10 minutes later and I'm royally pissed. ACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK:eek:

You're right, this is normally what I'd do. Cuz friends don't like hearing no for some reason. So we have to bullshlt and act like we can't decide. FECK.

it's accept... not except...damn!

You never TOLD me this was annoying to you. I could have tried to do it another way. Would shoes first and then the socks be better? <note to self> Need bigger socks. </note to self>

What about the above sentence which is void of proper punctuation, or any at all?

my friend always talks alot of bull**** and goes on about random things, which aggravates me to the point where i tell him some thing about his idea which bust's his chumps. Or the fact that he calls me 24/7

i never use proper punctuation. why would i need to?

It's like shooting fish in a barrel!!!!!

I'm not that kind of person, thats not nice.

didn't i double post somewhere in here????O_o????

I have a friend at work who is a little bit loose with the truth. I told him about something that happened to me once. The next week I walked into a room and overheard him telling a group the same story except that it had happened to him.

I can just imagine what my "friends" say about me:

'Like, I know this guy who rides his bike ALL THE TIME! He even gets up at 4 oclock to goto Palm Springs or Solvang to ride 100 miles! How f*^$&d up is that? He even put fenders on his bike so that he could ride in the rain. The dude has some serious problems."

Try inviting them to hang out with you at a local bar. They'd possibly find that an unfamiliar place to be in the same way that you find church functions unfamiliar and uncomfortable.

I invite friends to church stuff now and then but I can take no for an answer. I understand that people aren't necessarily rejecting me or my beliefs just because they don't like hanging out at the same places that I do.

2 things:

I am mormon as well as they are, but I've been fairly inactive. I just don't want to go to much of anything.

Also, I'm 19 so I can't go to bars :D

I'm not that kind of person, thats not nice.i know it's not nice, but when you tell a person no in a nice way, and you keep saying no in a nice way, but that person keeps on insisting you do w/e being nice isnt an option. Because that person doesnt get it that when some one says no, they mean NO

My friend would invite me over, then she would start calling people and not even talk to me for a second! Then she would leave the room without telling me anything.

And then she would disrespect my bikes! Shes just jealous of my realitionship with them :lol:

How old do you have to be to go to bars? 21? The age here in Australia is 18.

While that strategy may not work, I'm sure you get the idea. There are a lot of people who are so wrapped up in church culture that they don't understand anything else. They think that not wanting to go to church meetings is the same as rejecting any form of spirituality.

If your friends are more intersted in you personally than just trying to get you to church, they'll hang out with you where you feel comfortable. If their faith doesn't work outside the four walls of the church it's not worth much.

Talk in languages I do not understand. They automatically assume everyone has a mortgage and seem upset that I live in a paid-off home.

Annoying things that people do? Brag about having payed off their mortgages. :)

I used to get really annoyed at the way that my roommates chopped vegetables when we were cooking pasta. The vegetables, I said, should be diced. My roommates disagreed, suggesting the vegetables, particularly green peppers, should be cut in long strips in order to "flow with the noodles".

I think I'm a bit more relaxed now... While I continue to dice my vegetables, I do not stand in the way of those who prefer their strips.

My wife, otherwise perfect, cannot cut a straight slice of bread ('square' to the loaf) to save her life. I, on the other hand, am so obsessive that I feel I have to fix the loaf everytime I cut, making my first slice a bizarre wedge shape.

one of my friend always makes plan and gets really excited and always end up cancelling!!

ahhh....been there, done that! they are afraid that if you don't go with them you'll go to the dark side!! When I lived in Hi-de-ho, I got a lot of pressure to go to all these functions.

You mean that you aren't gearing up for your MISSION TRIP?! sheesh! no wonder they are on your tail to go to church functions!!! ;)

My precious wife takes at least fifteen minutes to decide what she wants to order at a restaurant. You would think it's her last supper.

If you'd take her out more than once a year... :lol:

My wife, also otherwise perfect, telling me how to drive. How does she think I get anywhere when she's not with me?

I haven't lived through that, but it seems like an inevitably awkward situation. They're trying to do what they think is the right thing, and you're trying to sort things out. Eventually, they'll learn that not everything is black and white. Maybe you can express yourself better to them in writing?

OK.. Ill say this about my hubby, he is wonderful but.. it's just that the way he eats ice cream drives me banana to a point where I have to get up and leave the room, he just...he just rolls it in his mouth, you see the ice cream make a complete turn on his tongue, dive in behing his throat and magically reappears on his tongue to make another flip, I swear when I first married him I was hypnotised by this technique and my mouth was on the ground with repulsion, now these days.. I have to get up and walk away.. it is the most insane thing I have ever seen!

I understand it, they are leaving for college and one on a mission. They want to get me to church before they all leave, or I'll be lost forever!!

Life imitates art, or something like that, and people imitate other people except for the rare few that seek their own way. Those, which are courageous enough to flaunt conventionality and proclaim to the world that they are original, that they can follow their own path. Those are the ones you should keep an eye on, and hunt them down and kill them.

OK.. Ill say this about my hubby, he is wonderful but..

Wait a minute!!! You're married? I can hear hearts breaking all over BF Land.

nah.. Im cranky in the morning, very selfish of my work out time, have a take no prisonner attitude when it comes to trying to get in my dinner plate and once again,Im clumbsy and I have the habbit of purchasing anything I see ( shhhhhh) I will tell ya that my feet do smell!:D

one of my friend always makes plan and gets really excited and always end up cancelling!!
My wife does that and that pisses me off. I tell her to get out and hit the town, go shopping or something but she is always too tired...

Not so much annoying but weird. My friend Bill loves hamburgers and loves cheese but hates cheeseburgers, but loves cheesesteaks (for all you Philly folks). He also loves tuna and loves mayonnaise, but don't make him tuna salad...he hates it.

Cheers,

Brian

The best antagonistic twosome ever on TV...and Meathead...best nickname ever!!!! Sorry for the thread hijack.

you got it. it will take some time for them to realize that you have to find your own way. Not following the church doctrine to the letter worries some folks that have strong faith in it. They love you and want the best for you. Let's hope that they can also, in time, understand you and accept what you need/want.

My friend will never change the oil in her car. She just waits for the light to go on and then add a quart. I want soooo badly to change the oil and filter for her but she says it's easier this way to just keep adding......:rolleyes:

I have this thing where I HAVE to change it before it hits the 3,000 mark. AND it has to be synthetic oil.

I change mine every 2,500 with regular old 10-30. Works fine for me, haven't lost any real compression in the 15,000 miles I've had my car. Whats so great about synthetic?

Doesn't lose viscosity as easily and it sticks to parts better.

wah. used to be the same way. but the car hit 250k miles and i went to conventional lube again. now, when i was buying $500 worth of tyres every 12k miles, that was painful. but synthetic oil just isn't that expensive.

o/c, i've never used synthetic in the Jag, just the Honda. but the Honda has an itty-bitty 3.8 qt sump - the Jag wants 9! quarts every change.
