    do any of you have a good friend who only uses you when it suits them? I have one i worked with for years , we went out at weekends for loads of beer etc, but in the last year or so he's got involved in football and is going around licking their arse's tring to be mr big,rang him last christmas to arrange a night out but he never got back in touch, but i know as soon as he needs something he'll knock my door. I just find it a bit ignorant really.:mad:

    That's most of them to be honest. I tend to stop inviting them to things and wait until the ask why, then tell them that I hadn't heard from them in so long, I thought I was annoying them.

    Works every time.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    No I wouldn't have the patience for that. I had a woman friend once upon a time though and she was tough work. I mean she nearly killed me. I'm trying to think if I was friend zoned or whipped or something. Lol.

    What you describe is not a friend. A friend is like family. Someone you can trust unconditionally on every occasion.

    A friend is a junkie. Who matter how many crispy bills you leave lying around won’t even take one to smoke his next fix

    Op. Just as regards your friend licking footballers' arses, had you noticed this type of behaviour before ?

    Who started calling him " mr big " first. Was it you, or the footballers' whose arses he was licking.

    I am asking for a friend btw.

    Thats what a friend is just someone you use to pass time with really.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭Tammy!


    I'd say you both just drifted apart op which is common especially if you are not working together anymore. He might not want to go out drinking because he's focussed on his football. He probably should have replied to you though when you tried to arrange to meet up.

    You should just kick him to touch.

    There's a big difference between friends and people who are really just drinking buddies, but in Ireland especially due to our drink and sports culture, the latter are often seen as the former
