What do you hate the most about your group of friends?

[PorkChop]

My friends, as grateful as I am for having them, still manage to annoy the shit out of me sometimes. The thing that annoys me most is that they're always late - if we agree to meet at the pub at 7:30pm, I'll get there bang on time, but they'll filter in around 8pm or even later. This has led to me standing around in the pub on my own on several occasions, looking like a lonely alcoholic. Even when I try to show up later, I still manage to get there before them.

There's a few others but the lateness has always got on my nerves, mainly as it only ever seems to screw me over and no one else

I hate how lame they've become since they got into committed relationships. Nobody ever wants to go out any more, it's stupid. Bring your girlfriend with you, I don't care, I just get sick of sitting around at home. We don't have to go out to a crazy party or anything like that, I'd just like to go out to a chill bar, have a few microbrews and chat, maybe play some cards. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK!?!?

[Hanley!]

They're damn hard to organize when trying to get a big night out going. And for some reason, I always seem to be the one who has to do it.

[War Daddy]

They dont even lift

[Twister]

That most of them are online nowadays HA i'm so lame. Don't laugh.

[SlightlyJames]

Lateness is probably the one for me as well. I'm all too familiar with being the one guy there waiting for everyone else to show.

Haha you sound like my friends complaining about me. So I'll deliver the flipside of that coin:

I'm almost 29, most of my friends are 30. I am one of the few married fathers of my group. They still want to hangout every couple of weeks, rent video games, buy pizza, get drunk, and sleep over (no drunk driving). They don't seem to understand that I don't want to do that anymore unless I'm in a fight with the wife. I work fulltime, deal with 50+ people a day for 20min-60min each (varies). At the end of the day, my wife and kid are all the company I can stomach. I don't bust my ass and pay a mortgage so I can go some place else. I -want- to be home and left alone. My friends really need to go get married, the clingy bastards are too lonely.

I can relate to both of these.

Since my friends have gotten girlfriends and had kids. I understand they can't do as much as they used to, but like you said Tim, we don't have to have crazy nights out like we used to do, but as long as we got together once in a while, maybe even once a month, just to hang out. They could bring their girlfriends as well. I don't mind all hanging out together. I too get sick of sitting around at home. Whenever I do try to arrange something, it's so difficult. They are either too busy or just don't want to do anything. We didn't even do anything for my birthday this year, even though the months leading up to it they all promised me we would go out and do something.

One other thing that bothers me about them is that they weren't really open to getting to know new people or make new friends. When I went on holiday last year, I went on my own. I was able to relax, be myself and slightly reinvent myself a bit and I got to make a load of new friends with people who just a couple of days ago were strangers. I couldn't imagine them doing that. I remember trying to arrange stuff with them and some people I used to work with to try and widened our range of friends but they just wanted to do the same stuff every week.

Married with kid at 29/30 is way different than girlfriend and no kid at 25.

I feel ya bro,
Almost 32, married for 8 years with a 5 year old son. All my friends have all but deserted me for the same reasons. I have to much to take care of to want (or need) to go out and drink every weekend. Its nice to be able to sit at MY home (not an apartment or a rental but MINE) and just relax

[The Milkman]

I sort of have two groups of friends. The older ones that I went to school with I can't think of a single complaint. Other than they moved away for bigger and better things so i don't see them often. My newer friends are sometimes flaky and very disorganised. I am always the one booking things like concert tickets, hotels, that kind of thing. And even though they always pay me back, it's not as soon as I would like. Still love em all to bits though!

I was married at 22 and by 23 felt what I feel now. Just sayin'.

My group of friends in high school were a little too immature at times and they would get on my nerves.
