I'm sure everyone knows someone like this. The type of person who you don't really care for but they'll act like you guys are buddies and won't leave you alone.

There was a seinfeld episode about this but they never really solved the problem. So how would you guys get rid of an unwanted "friend" without causing any real trouble?

I think I know where this is going.

Got $500?

Don't talk to him. I recently dealt with this. I had a friend that I wanted to kill whenever he was around, so when he called, I didn't answer but later texted him and said I couldn't talk. After a couple of weeks of this, he stopped calling and I haven't seen him much and I am much happier.

Don't be a passive-aggressive wimp. Just say "no" if he asks and you don't feel like hanging with him. Don't make excuses or play little games. Don't be all chummy with him to his face and then say: "I hate that guy" when he isn't around. That reflects poorly on your own character - and your other "real" friends will take note. Just be direct. You don't have to be rude nor offensive. Just follow the golden rule. He'll drift away.

...and tell him you carry a concealed weapon.

... predicting big things for this thread.

showstopper had a friend that annoyed him.


ok.

I tried the rude approach before and it didn't work. Lately I've been practicing avoidance like you said, not answering calls or IM's. Cept I havent even been returning them with a text or phonecall. For about 3 weeks now and he still hasn't gotten the picture.

That is exactly the opposite of what I am saying. That is passive and just avoiding the situation. Be an adult and treat him like an adult. Don't avoid a situation just because it is uncomfortable.

Don't avoid giving him the feedback or answer he doesn't want to hear just because it makes you uncomfortable.

Without out trouble or without a fight?


Kill 'em.

QFT, Don't be a little wuss and avoid him. I know it might be hard but just tell him how you feel. Don't leave him hanging by avoiding him. It just digs you into a bigger hole.

True. I'll be moving at the end of august so avoidance won't be that difficult.

I tried being upfront before and eventually ran into him and some other people at a mutual friends house one time and randomly started hanging out with them again. The problem isn't the group of friends just one person. So I tried being up front one time and it didn't really work out as I would of hoped.

Tell him youre gay and have started developing feelings for him.

He wont bother you again. Unless...

Just let it build up a little bit more inside of you then get drunk and tell him off. Thats how I solve all my problems.

I'm with ya here...

Tell him you have AIDS. No one wants to hang out with the kid with AIDS.

I say we get Cobalt to blaze him for you. He must be pretty experienced at that by now.

Nicely disguised brag post about having a friend.

I raise...

What is wrong with the guy? Does he have a missing tooth or an annoying facial scar, or just has an attitude problem?

This has to be one of those instances where he is the villain in this hand.

*Ex_Matt has requested time*



Just a bunch of minor things that may not seem like a big deal but after awhile they've become quite annoying.

-He always thinks his ideas are the best and always tries to persuade people into doing the things he wants to do.
-If he doesn't get his way he'll try to make others feel bad about it.
-If he's losing at something he'll always have an excuse as to why he lost.
-He just doesn't listen to people when they speak.

and some other things have happened where I just do the hellmuth with my hands in the air.

ouch, that sounds like me

How old is he? Youve just described my 8 year old son.

A link to this thread would probably do it. Unless of course he rationalized that you couldn't possibly be talking about him.

You + His Mom + His bed + making sure he walks in = End of problem

loooool I said i wanted to avoid further problems.

Hes 22. . .


Btw: twas not a brag post.

His mom is in a coma asshole.














sw, I think.

win win!



also, dawson wins the thread.

Ask him for a blumpkin.

Tell him your job is transferring you to Yemen.






Then kill him.

How funny, I almost made a similar thread a few weeks ago but the problem solved itself.

Think about this problem, then think about what you do with this problem when Villain is a 6'5" 275 lbs. black-dude-wanna-be-gangsta-p.o.s. that you meet one day and all of a sudden he wants to start hanging out with you and all your friends like every day. Then 2 minutes after you pull in your drive way after a long ass day at work, he's knocking on your front door and just wants to "chill". Practically every day for a month. You catch him in lies all the time. You find out from your roommates that he ate (or stole) your half full 36 pack of Twix (there was an empty box left behind, no wrappers). He just sits on the front porch of his apartments across the street from your house like all day every day so you can't really hide. He's always there.

Hero....?

loan the guy $20... guaranteed he will ignore and avoid you...

Been in this boat a few times

Usually, the problem corrects itself. These types of people are only stupid up to a point. Their problem is a lack of social awareness; they don't realize when they're unwanted, so it will take a "few times" for it to sink in whereas everyone else gets it after the first blow off.

After the 10th or 15th time of your saying "Sorry man, I got other stuff to do today..." or "hey, how ya doin? Look, I was just on my way out the door", they'll eventually leave you alone.

You've just basically described hell.
You can't get too brusque as you run the risk of starting up retard drooler drama, but you can't dodge him since he lives right there. You will never know peace until this person either goes away or drops dead.

I had this problem with a drunkard neighbor who wandered over every day after work to "have beers".
He eventually got it and found another porch-sitter to hang around with and drink (and talk about how much of an ******* I am) but yeah, it sucked for that period of time before he "got it".

I generally hate all people; as such, I've mastered the art of subtly extinguishing all possibilities for a social relationship from the very first encounter.

i still like lollis idea

Take him fishing for sharks but don't tell him he is the bait until it is too late.

did the voices in your head tell you to say that?

Yes.

I guess I should have shown him my shotgun sooner, huh?

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooool

My daughters future boyfriend will see the guns.... And be asked if he has a platinum card for the date, she has expensive tastes, high end sushi (uni, sea snails, all the exotic stuff), crab, lobster, steak.. And shes only 5.

not too difficult. just adjust your wardrobe.

Just do whatever the Challenge thread guys did to get you to stop posting there

i was pretty positive the answer to this was jail,or shot..since u said "took care of itself"..cost me 50 bucks by the way ( yes me and my buddy are so degen we often bet the results of threads...usually over unders lol)

that said,im even on this thread by setting a great line for the over under on when scram would post (thanks for waiting for whatever reason btw)

Well actually, we found out that he stole something else from my garage. It's one those unattached garages in back of the house and we don't always lock it. He came by the next day after it happened and acted like nothing was wrong. So I told him something was stolen yesterday. Right away, he goes "Well don't accuse me"....

I don't want to say what he stole, but it was pretty obvious it was him. He hasn't come around since. And now he doesn't even hang out in front of the apartments anymore.
