Annoying Friends and their Obsessions (or vice versa)

Evelond Formos · Post by **Evelond Formos** » Tue Nov 01, 2005 7:56 pm

Ok, I feel I had to post this. Have you ever had a friend that had an obsession so bad they never stopped talking about it?

Example: My friend is obsessed with Harry Potter and never stops talking about it. When I start talking to him about something other than HP, he sits up straight and, quickly putting on a grin, says "Harry Potter!"

So, list'em here.

Once worked with someone who would bring her lunch to work.. which wasn't a problem, lots of us do that.. but she'd repeatedly bring sourkraut.. *shudders* It stunk so bad.. that every day I'd ask "Stinky stuff again?" and it became almost a tradition as a way to ask what she had for lunch.

Sad, but true.

Someone else I knew brought in tuna--some stuff just should be eaten at home. Don't bring it in where you know others are going to have such a problem with it that it might make them hurl.. I mean, my cat eats tuna.. I personally can't stand the smell of it very long. Just long enough to put it on the paper plate and put it on the floor before the cat gnaws off my leg.

Well, I won't lie, I'm a bit of an obsessive Pittsburgh Steeler fan, and I tend to make that clear no matter where I go. If I see people out in public wearing Steeler garb I make sure to acknowledge that, shoot the small talk and spark conversation with complete strangers over it, I can't help it. The tradition in my family is so strong for 'em that come football season it takes precedence over most anything, even food...and I love food

.

Roser will vouch for this, so I thought I'd save him the trouble of telling it, trust me....him being a Brownie in Steel Country (My apartment

) he gets the brunt of my shite talking and non-stop Pittsburgh jargon. What can I say, I love my Steelers..

Yea, bloody Jimmy and Oose.

Also, Jimmy never shuts up about Wing Chun either, and he knows it...

I actually always was the annoying friend who couldn't shut her yap.

Together with a friend of mine, we were always standing around baffling other people with AB, AC, BAB, INT, DEX, SKILLS, REF, WILL, those things.

Guilty as charged of this crime. I try to keep the references to Trolls and Goblins to a mumble though. Saves on the strange looks

Eh, Dasaria's put me in a few strange positions...especially when I tell my friends about the events that took place.

"Yeah, so turns out Holly died...really sucked man."
"Hey-I did not die!"
"Oh, I mean my other friend Holly."
"Ah, okay."
"You should join her though."
"WHAAT!?"

*Insert shoe meeting face sounds*

And I believe Mitch bugged Lone to get NWN...

Haxley's player pestered me for a good two or three months about Dasaria.. stopped, then continued again. I got so interested I actually did buy the game, then played the single player.. and refused to log in until I knew what I was doing (and he kept pestering me until I did actually log in, by the by). I was so terrified the first time I logged in, and I knew he was laughing at me for it.

First thing I saw? Hakiseth getting into trouble. *grins* What else? Met Tilirinn the same night I think, and I swear, was scared of Cheese almost for a long time simply because Tilirinn was played so damn well. I thought 'what am I getting into with these people?'...

So, I can totally comprehend those folks that annoyingly pester about Dasaria.. who'd think that would happen anyway?

Heh.

I am so glad this thread is not a dud. Most of the time my threads are duds. I honestly thought this would be a failure, too.

Anyway, back on topic.

My cousin's obsession isn't that bad, I mean its not annoying, but I guess I could post it. Ever heard of Lilo and Stitch? That's basically what her room is. Guess what one of her hobbies are? Repeatedly watching Lilo and Stitch 2 and pointing out that there are way too many errors in the movie.

Well, this isn't really annoying, because I like to take place in those conversations about the errors with her. Actually, the obsession isn't annoying at all. Just thought I'd post it.

Erm, wasn't that what I was supposed to say?

EDITED

I expect more from someone like you Depheant, degrading others for self-amusement will not be tolerated. Find a better way to get your point across, and when I mean better I mean acceptable. Nothing else needs to be said about that matter.

I was never really pestered to join Dasaria myself. I remember one night trying to watch Falson play then got bored and got really annoyed that the event took so long. I guess I got fed up and decided if I couldn't beat it... join it.

And I remember shooting padril second day I was on... and meeting heaven... and stuff like that.

So I wasn't really pestered to join in on the obsession, i joined of pure curiousity and then got rather obsessed...

makes me want to kill things after a rough commute on I-66 (washington dc rush hour traffic)...
