Ugh! He is driving us insane! *PunkStarChik*   Author:  53909  Category:(General Advice) Created:(7/24/2003 4:48:00 PM) This post has been Viewed (406 times) I am talking with my bf's best friend online right now. He never listens to us! We always try to help him out but he just never listens or takes our advice. Let me tell you a little about him.... He is 21 years old and still living with his mom and younger brother. He has no friends execpt for us. All his life basically depends on is videos games, the internet and Role playing. That's its! Seriously! And he has a BIG temper problem. Now, he's been trying to get a job for the longest time. He said that he's been fired at least 6 times. Right now, he is doing volunterry (sp?) work at a retirement home. He said, if he stays there for a year, his job record will be cleaned and he could get ANY job that he wanted. He also said that since he's not doing a paying job, he can't get fired.......WRONG!! I believe that Oregon Law states that anyone get get fired at any time and for no reason. Is that correct? When I told him that, he asks me why is he still there there. I told him, "because you are doing a good job" He keeps whining that he doens't have any money. And there has been SOOOO many times that we told him to keep trying to get a real job. In my opinion, working at a no pay job for over a year isn't worth it if he's complaining about wanting money. He told us that he has tried everywhere. I told him that he has to keep looking and keep calling back at the jobs. He is jealous because my brother gets free rentals from his job and wishes that he could get free movies and especially video games instead of watching boring tv. I told him that my brother works to get those free rentals and sometimes he lets us rent movies off of his account because he trusts us and not Josh. I told Josh that we work our butts off to pay for what we have while he doesn't. Josh also whines that he wants money to have fun with. I told him that we want to have money to have fun also, but it's impossiable to have too much fun while having bills to pay and other stuff that we have to pay for. He doesn't understand what it's like to be in our shoes. He thinks that all we do is have fun. He also thinks that if we ever couldn't pay for our rent, we could just move back to our parents. WRONG!!!! My dad and I don't get along and there isn't any room for us to move in to my parents house. My bf couldn't live with his Dad because of how him and his dad's gf don't get along. Long stories but you can get the point that it wouldn't work out. Josh thinks that life is like a video game. Because he would rather restart in his own world then go through the levels. (if that makes any sense) He would want to use cheats to get through life easier. But Life isn't a video game! You can't really cheat out of living and life. We were all suppose to go to the casino together. At first, we weren't going to go. And Josh goes "Oh, I didn't really want to gamble anyways. Couldn't Rich's (my bf) dad give us money to rent video games?" I COULDN"T BELIEVE THAT HE SAID THAT! My bf's dad was giving us money to go to the casino, not to rent video games. We ended up going to the casino but we didn't bring Josh because we knew that he wouldn't be in the mood and he would be in a bad mood. We're just tired of him acting this way. He needs to grow up. He acts like a 12 year old and he never listens to us or wants to take our advice. Don't get me wrong, we love him dearly and he is our friend and we're doing what we can to help him. But he just won't listen. Sometimes we just want to smack him around to get some sense knocked into him but he would take it the wrong way. I don't know what to do. We want to help him but he just never listens and it makes us so mad that he thinks we have it easy when he's the one that does. Thanks for listening. Sorry for this post being so long. I'm just upset that he never listens to us and stuff. What do you think that we should do? He's been like this for years and years. He hasn't done anything to change.
