Bum Friend

[UCI-James]

See, I had a friend similar to that a couple months ago. He and I were best friends since 7th grade, but the summer break after our senior year in high school, he just absolutely went to shit.

Now, I don't ever talk to him or see him any more (partly because he goes to college so far away, and partly because I can't stand the fucker).

My advice would be, if you can bear it, to just drop his ass. I admit, it was hard for me at first because we had been such good friends for so long and I didn't want to throw it all away but after sitting on it for a while and coming to terms with it, I'm glad I did. Because now I don't have to put up with his superioristic, know-it-all attitude.

UCI-James Reviewed by UCI-James on 12-14-2007. Bum Friend hey everyone I have this friend who, in simple words, is a bum... everything he does annoys the shit out of me. I'm 19 and so is he, I've held jobs before and I've had my driver's license since I was 16, he's never held a job for a month and still has no license... He lives about 20 min away from me and never offers to throw in on gas when i go pick his ass up, he doesn't have a weed connect (so I get it for him and he never offers me something for the trouble). When I do ask for reimbursement Rating: 5

Child, drop him. The relationship isn't good for either of you. You are enabling him to continue in his "bummish" ways. He is basically a "vampire", or if you want to be kind, a greedy child, always taking without giving. You're being taken advantage of and he isn't growing. Get your papers and end it!-Granny:hippy:

drop that fucker, straight up.
I had a friend who did the exact same thing. When you're in the situation you don't realize what a HORRIBLE Friend that person is being. Then after you drop his ass, give it a little bit when you distance yourself form him, you'll realize you can find better and more responsible mature friends than that stupid friend-using butt face.

Get rid of him. You will not only be doing what is right for you, it will teach him a lesson.

all of this seems so simple but it's not. I cant just ignore the fucker... I moved out of my parents place to a city a few hours away about a month ago... what do u know he moves into his grandma's house in the same city... so now neither of us really know anybody around besides each other... and how do I "break up" with a friend?

ya man, know what u mean.. i had a friend who used to live with our family who kind of fits that description, it seemed like me and my bro were always smoking him up and buying him timms and evrything elce.. he just seemed lazy and wouldnt work or even try to get a job, he just seemed like a bum. i was GOOD friends with him for years but that shit he pulled and all the lazy days where he would just sleap and not have any respect for much anything but himself. seemed like a hustler if u ask me.:jointsmile:

Simple answer is to socialise with people who don't fuck you around and leach off you all the time.
Just keep telling him you are too busy with your new mates who aren't lazy fucks and numbnuts. He'll get the message sooner or later.

it sounds like you are being a good fren to him and his starting to take the piss out of you... his used to you doing things for him... so thats why his expecting you to come and pick up your papers, as you normally the one that does everything///

to me it sounds like this so called fren is really taking the piss out of you...

if i was you i would ignor him for a while... then he gonna know what type of a fren you was to him..... you dont know what you got till its gone... heard that b4... thats what he gonna be thinking

[thcbongman]

He's only taking advantage of you because you let him.

I don't see any reason to stop being friends with him, just stop giving him free lunches. You'll see what kind of person he really is, if he wants to hang out with you or for your possessions. You'll see him fade away if it's for the latter.

Doesn't require any drama whatsoever.
