5 Things My Friends Do That Piss Me Off

July 13, 2011 7:00 pm     Posted in College  Julianne-Carnegie Mellon University g+ page

No matter how amazing your besties are, there are bound to be a few things they do that irk you a bit. Whether its always texting or being freakishly late to everything, even best friends roll through life a little bit differently. I think we are all entitled to some pet peeves, don’t you? It’s nothing that a little talking followed by The Bachelorette and cookies can’t fix.

1. Getting Upset When I Don’t Read Every Line of Every Article and Watch Every Single Youtube Video They Send: And they send a whole lot. I have a life people… Gotta make time to watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians. And I know you find little animals hilarious, but I don’t need to watch anymore lemur videos.

2. Forgetting to Return Borrowed Clothing: It’s a wild goose chase at the end of every semester and I now fully understand that cliché. I really like it when you borrow things (it justifies an expensive purchase or two) but just return them ok? Preferably without evidence of your blackout.

3. Fighting with Significant Others Over Facebook: The whole world doesn’t need to see my bffls’ drama from Saturday night. Ultimately, I am going to hear about it in a few seconds anyway, so my news feed should remain unscathed. It’ll save room for more important things, like stalking the cute guy from my dorm freshman year.

4. Not refilling the Brita: My home is your home. But it comes with one rule, if you drink some of my delicious water you better refill that water filter. There’s nothing worse then being parched and finding an empty Brita in the middle of the night. Yeah, I wouldn’t wish that on you either.

5. Cock Blocking: You finally meet a hottie among the creeps at the bar at the exact moment your friends want to call it quits for the night, even though it’s a good 45 minutes before final call. Please, suck it up for your single friend! I promise, it won’t kill you to stay another few songs.

    Haha wow as trivial as it is, the Brita filter thing is my number one pet peeve when it comes to friends/roommates! Glad I'm not the only one that gets annoyed by that!

    using my stuff without offering to let me use their stuff, interrupting, and interfering with the training of my new puppy are at the top of my list right now!

    I have a friend who is always late but now it's kind of a running joke that we can always count on her to be at least 15 minutes late.

    I hated when my friend/roommate would use my name brand products then buy a crappy off brand when she used up all of my stuff. I didn't care if she use it but she could have at least replace it with the same brand. I bought that brand for a reason.

    My one roommate always takes ridiculously long to get ready to go out. Thing is, its not like she’s high maintenance. Its because she doesn’t think she looks good in ANYTHING. She changes her outfit at least 7 times every night when getting ready and we’ve gotten to the bar as late as 11:30 when it closes at 1. We all have bad days when we think we look fat or nothing seems to look good, but if it gets to the point when you know we’re meeting people at 10:30 and your roommate has been waiting over an hour for you, then throw on a black dress and deal with it.

    Not answering my calls or calling me back then getting pissed off when I happen to not answer my phone or call back right away.

    When I goto my bff's house her brita pitcher is always empty and I'm usually the one to fill it and refill because I drink more water than she does.
