There was this friend who would always show up late whenever we had plans. For example, we planned to go to a movie together. I arrived on time and waited for him for nearly half an hour. When he finally showed up, he didn't even apologize sincerely. And he did this all the time, whether it was for a casual get - together or an important event.
Sure. One of my annoying friend stories is that I had a friend who would always borrow my things without asking. One time, I was looking everywhere for my favorite book and finally found it in his bag. He just took it without even telling me.
Well, I once had a friend who constantly interrupted me when I was talking. No matter what I was saying, he would cut in and start talking about his own stuff. It was really frustrating because it made it seem like he didn't care about what I had to say at all. He would do this during conversations with other people too, and it often made the whole conversation go off - track.
Sure. Once, I was on a long flight. There was a kid behind me who kept kicking my seat non - stop for hours. His parents just ignored it no matter how many times I politely asked them to make him stop.
There was this one incident at a library. A kid was making all kinds of noise, banging books on the table and talking loudly. Libraries are supposed to be quiet places, and it was so frustrating for those of us who were there to study or read.
Sure. One time, my teacher would always pick on me for the smallest things. I once sneezed in class and she gave me a long lecture about classroom etiquette. It was so annoying as it was just a natural reflex.
Well, my annoying little brother always used to interrupt me when I was doing my homework. He'd make noise, jump around, and ask me silly questions so that I couldn't concentrate at all. It was really frustrating.
One common type is being overly needy. They might constantly call or text you, expecting you to drop everything and be there for them. Another is being a back - stabber, like talking behind your back. Also, the ones who are always competitive in an annoying way, trying to outdo you in everything.
One time, there was a little kid on a plane. He kept kicking the back of my seat non - stop during the whole flight. I asked him politely to stop but he just giggled and continued. It was really annoying.
Well, there's a story of two friends, Alex and Ben. Alex was going through a really tough time with family issues. Ben, who was usually very supportive, was dealing with his own stress at work. He didn't have the energy to be there for Alex as much as he should have. Alex felt abandoned and their friendship became strained. It was sad because they both needed each other but circumstances got in the way.
Here's another. I had a plan to travel alone. But my friend Jack thought it was too dangerous. He tried hard to persuade me not to go. When I was stubborn and still decided to go, he didn't just leave me. Instead, he joined me and made sure I was safe during the whole journey. A true friend will always be there for you, even when you are being difficult.
Sure. There was a story where a person was living in pover. His friend, who had a bit more resources, offered him a place to stay when he was about to be evicted from his shabby apartment. This simple act of kindness changed his friend's life as it gave him stability to look for a better job.
Well, I knew a situation where an entitled friend thought she could just barge into her friend's house unannounced at any time. She didn't respect her friend's privacy or personal space. Once, her friend was having a really important work - related call at home, and she just showed up and started chatting loudly as if it was her own place. This kind of behavior really strained their friendship.
