Where we rant about our friends anonymously because it's the internet. This guy I'll call B is such an idiot, yet he acts like he's the smartest damn guy in our group. He thinks that cos he was in marketing in Drexel(which he FAILED) he can make up any idea and act like it's genius. He and some other friends of mine tried to sell jello-shots. This would be all-right if not for the fact that they thought they were going to monopolize the market! You know what the recipe is for jello-shots? Any jello + any booze. BAM! And whenever I challenge him he acts like I'm going against his dream. This is not a dream. This is a 21st century version of an episode from the HONEY-MOONERS!And what's worse is that he's CONSTANTLY asking me for rides. This is the guy that acts like he's a money-making genius, yet seems to NEVER be able to pay me back for rides. My one friend, he owes like 100 bucks! And the sad part is, none of my friends will ever say to his face what a dick he is. It's like he's some sort of psychic vampire leaching off of our happiness that we can't get rid of. Also he get's blitzed BEFORE going to a party, which I find just rude.

You know, I lied. Your new name is V, or Alucard, or whatever that guy's name was.

I had a friend like that. One day I looked at him and thought, "If you weren't an old friend and I was meeting you today for the first time, not only would I not like you but I'd probably hate you." So I stopped hanging around with him.

You have no idea how many times I have praticed this line. It's just he usually argues with his cyclical logic and then makes me think that I was wrong. Than an hour later I realize how I could have easily won that argument.

As long as you don't ask me to alliterate, or replace my anarchist views with your own political agenda were good.

This rich kid I knew in college rang up a huge tab at the bar one night, buying all of our friends drinks. Then when it came time to pay at last call he tried to pawn the tab off on me... To make it even he tried to get me to cash his third-party, out of state, check. Yeah sure, I can spring $820.54 at 2 a.m. when my only form of support is a 3 hour a day delivery job...

Then I had to give him a ride home too, while he was hitting on the girl I just picked up...

This applies to all my friends in general, whenever the come in asking for food. I'm just in the other room watching something and this jag-off is making cereal. WITHOUT ASKING! Common courtesy man, it's all I ask for.

Also, lemme ask yall something. Is it a good idea to ask to go home from work for the day because your job is too aggrivating? No? Well my dum-ass friend did this and got fired. Man you should have heard him " Whatever man, it's not like I was learning any-thing. All it was was a pay-check." I just wanted to beat the shit out of him because I was(and still am) without a job. Complaining about your job to an out-of-work person is the equivalent of Mr.Moneybags flaunting his riches to a hobo.

Grass is always greener, my friend. Working a 9-5 looks at the person who sits at home all day & does nothing & says, "Man, that would be nice!" Unemployed person says, "Man, I wish I had a job!" Human nature.

Although people who should be looking for a job and aren't are pissing me off.

The best part about having no friends is having no stupid friends.

I want to say that's funny, but it's also kinda sad.

You're a good dude, Wahad. I have no idea why you would have no friends. GasBandit I could see because he's a right bastard, but not you.

I know the feeling. After years of thinking we were friends, I realized my future sister in law is a person I never would have sought out on my own.

You know what's worse than stupid friends? YOURE BROTHERS stupid friends. You don't want to hang out with them, but you have to because their your brothers friends. When worlds collide my right?

She wants to rip apart the poor grammar and spelling in your post, but instead of doing so is walking away. Then she posted a picture of a part in Glee when the guy walked away sad.

You can choose your friends, you know.

What sort of situation are you in where you HAVE to hang out with your brother's friends?

Also, how old are you?

Seriously, this. My brother has a million friends, I do not hang out with any of them. Ever. I cannot imagine having felt like I "had to" hang out with anyone since I finished elementary school.

21. And the situation of pretending to like your brothers friends to seem cool to your little brother. This was really my fault, but my bro never really respected me growing up and I just wanted to at least be cool with his friends. Ended up hangin with a bunch of morons and burn-outs during his high-school years.

baha what is going on

Chippy, let me join you in confusion, delight and anticipation.

Huh.

Well this topic has gone off all-ready. And were still on the first page!

This is not something you have to do. This is something you are choosing to do.

Our threads rarely stay on topic for long. It's part of the joy that is us.

Well, I have plenty of acquaintances - study mates, people I talk to online, etc. But I don't do enough with them for them to consider me a friend, or vice versa. Used to have friends in highschool, but lost contact with them after a year or so in college. None of the aforementioned people live nearby, either, so that doesn't help. But now that I am forced to get a job so that I can get a home for myself, this will probably change as I will be out and about more, and live in a more centralized area.

I kinda know how you feel. I had a bunch of friends in High school too, but I hardly ever see them any more. At most, I have two regular friends that I hang out with. Anyone else is usually a friend of a friend.

I'm fairly certain I am currently banned from one restaurant because of the actions of my acquaintances.

It's been a tradition for a few years now that when the Medieval Market is just behind the corner, some of us actors go out for a night of dining and drinking. And since that tradition kinda sprung from me and two friends heading out for Italian and some other friends tagging along, it's been my duty to organize the table for our party - now usually between 15-20 people.

Last year some of the older members (i.e. people in their 40s) of our party got a little tipsy in the restaurant, with one of them accidentally cutting himself with broken glass, another accidentally setting the bill on fire when he brought it near the candle flame to see it better. In the end some of them got so loud and raucous we were asked to leave the restaurant. I'm pretty sure they won't let me in the next time, since the table reservation was under my name.

The food was good, though.

I will say this about friends: the one big thing about moving out to a new part of the country is lacking that massive friend base. At home I can, with enough nagging, fill up a bar full of my friends, friend's bands, etc. etc, and make a life-long partnership with the owner next time I need something. Out here in DC I mostly slum it with the few people I know, or I've met, or have dated, or who I work with.

I mean, it's not miserable. But it does really make me appreciate the stupid idiots I end up slumming with back home. Except for Greg, because fuck that guy.

I had the same feeling when I was doing my exchange year in Ireland. I'm not the most sociable of guys, and I ended up being one of the three internationals who lived in one student village while everyone else lived in another. Made it pretty hard to get to know folks outside school since everyone pretty much made friends with their roommates first and then branched out.

I wouldn't call this person a friend perse, more or less a friend of my friend. This guy I knew from another guy was giving out five dollar tatoos at my friends place and I was hoping to get one, me never getting one before. Well while I was waiting, this street-punk girl named Margaret who was a friend of the guy who lived there comes barging and asks for a tatoo. The tatoo guy agrees. I didn't object, as I thought it wouldn't take long. It did. Every five minutes she'd get up and talk about something and sit back down. What's worse is that the tatoo was really complicated, it was all arty and a reference to something that I don't think SHE even got. By the time he was finished, the tatoo artist had to go home. So the moral of this story, is that annoying street-punks will ruin your day and they will get away with it because they are friends with your friends. Friends of friends suck sometimes.

So .... I have to ask. I have been biting my tongue about it. Do you have a professional diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome, or is this a self-diagnosis? I ask because I know it was really popular for people with social interaction problems to self-identify as Asperger for a while there. I also have seen diagnosed Asperger sufferers, and I have to say, and they are nothing like socially awkward people. I realize autism is a spectrum, but the Asperger's patients I've come into contact with (through work)--I mean there's obviously something wrong. They're not just uncomfortable in social situations, their daily functioning is hindered.

I don't mean to question you or anything. You just seem very high-functioning.

There is already a jello shot selling site www.gelshot.com

Yeah, I worked with a kid with real, diagnosed Aspergers. When he could actually be bothered to go to work he was barely functional. He needed a lot of help that his family basically refused to give him (his dad all but kicked him out). I felt really bad for the guy.

Straight up, professional diagnosis. My first doctor said I had ADD the quack, then my parents learned later I had Aspergers syndrome which explained alot. The twitching, the anti-socialness, the obsessive compulsive habit of counting my teeth(that's not a joke by the way) I had it all.

how many

Having someone to call a friend, crazy or not, can't be beat. Having few friends suck. And it's hard to make new friends as an adult. Very awkward. I liken it to dating, only worse. So awkward...

Want to go see a movie sometime (sounds like I'm asking her on a date)
want to go grab lunch? (date)
want to come over, play some cards and have a cocktail? (date).

Want to go shopping? (genuine girl time, but not for the poor)

Lame....give me friends, silly universe. I demand...(

was that a poem?
