Bum Friend

[FUNKNUGGET]

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 he makes a huge deal out of it and usually conveniently has no extra money or anything... and he also conveniently forgets things at my place and leaves shit in my car so that I have to drive and give back to him...

This time he's really done it. I took him to the dmv for his 2nd driving test the other day (which he failed), and I dropped him off at his house afterwards and went home... later he calls me and tells me that he accidentally took my registration and insurance papers along with the dmv forms and says i should come pick them up. I told him he should get a ride to my place and drop them off because he's the one who took them and I don't wanna risk getting fined if i get pulled over... he says "they're your papers you come get them," i respond, "Why should I waste my time, money, and gas to get something u took after i did you a favor?" his response: "if you're gonna be irrational I'm gonna hang up," all i get out it "ohhhhh I'm fucking irrational...." before he hangs up.


What do I do about this kid? I'm a nice dude and I really don't like to be a jerk but I can't stand this guy... I've known him for years but I have really grown sick of him... I've saved his ass in so many situations and stuck up for him when people talk shit about him... But i'm done being a good friend to someone like this. He has one of those personalities that is really outgoing and nice at first, but turns into a selfish prick when u get to know him really well... and the worst part is that in his head he thinks everything he does is justified

What the fuck should I do?

Get all your shit back and never answer a call from him again

[StickyfingahZ]

Go get your papers from him.......I wouldnt want some dead beat holding onto valuable stuff like that.
Get your papers and just leave....No Drama or argueing.....next time he calls,and asks for a favor,just tell um your busy and you gotta go(hang up the phone)Im sure after awhile he will either find someone else to carry his ass....or he will wise up and be a man.

The kid seems like an asshole, I say you stop doing shit with him.

[Purple Banana]

Drop him like it's hot. But he's not. So just drop him, anyway.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

It's give and take. Not take and take some more.
Sounds like a right dicknose. Remember, YOU chose YOUR OWN company. Makes sense to say if you don't like him... just don't hang out with him... shocking ey.

yeah I wouldnt talk to him anymore either, you should probly forget about him and move on. Why get used for rides all the time if someones broke ass dosnt pitch in just so you can hang with them. What makes them so great? I used to hang with a lot of stoners that did the same shit, Id waste mad gas and theyd smoke like a couple bowls of swag. Cheap asses.

He sounds like he needs to grow up, pull his finger out of his arse hole and realise he has to sort his life out. What he NEEDS is a slap.

Get your papers - thats the important part - and then just ignore the tit.

Yeah i agree.

I'm having an similar problem with a friend he is all over you like a bad rash when the booze and mull is flowing and your shouting but when its not you will not see him.The thing is he is a nice guy and i consider him a friend from when we where at school.

I think he is user but this thing is he wasnt always like that we used to hang out and be good friends.

I'm rather confused maybe i havent made the effort to hang out with him or something.

I'm not sure.

[slipknotpsycho]

not to sound like an ass face or anything, (it's not intended to be) but if you can't figure out what you should do, perhaps you deserve his company?

i hate being an ass and i really hate telling people to fuck off (infact idon't really do it... i just stop talking to them all together, no explination) but when i'm being used, and i finally realize it/get fed up with it, that's it... change or we're not hanging out no more... (if i even offer the chance for them to change, usually i just say fuck it all together)

what you do is up to you, there is no right or wrong answer.. but there is a smart and stupid decision... the smart one is to get your shit and sever the ties... i'm sure you can figure out what the stupid one is...
