People who try and initiate whole conversations via text when a simple phone call would do
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Worse still, people who insist on phoning when the conversation could have been dealt with over text.

na the former is definitely worse. Texting is for ongoing discussions and group chats.
If you need to talk to someone direct, quick phone call, say what you have to say and then move.

One talks with his mouth full of food, that annoys me

There’s someone I work with who when he’s got a cold/runny nose just spends the day sniffing instead of getting some tissue and blowing his nose occasionally
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s not a cold that’s cocaine.

Not if you suffer from Allergic Rhinitis like I do.
I was diagnosed with this some years ago and the only long term solution is to have Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Sadly, this is no longer offered by the NHS and costs £3K to go private.

Thanks Tories

Texting is better so the missus doesnt hear your plans.

All chat no substance, hate that with mates. "Lets book this trip", "lets go abroad to see this game" etc. Then when push comes to shove "ah a cant for xy&z".

Had that very recently. Mates suggested do something different this year for xmas night out. Maybe go somewhere as yoy end up spending a fortune anyway on 1 night in town. I suggested atletico madrid v barca on 8th jan, return flights cheap as chips, all in flights accom tickets, 300. Everyone said aye sounds good.

Came to booking and the excuses came out. Im going on my todd now, fack it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This x100. Pick a weekend and stick to it.

I have a mate as well who can never commit to anything. This lad is single and really doesn't do much yet if you try to agree a group outing a few months in advance all you get is " I'll see closer to the time, that's ages away" It does my head in because he usually ends up going.

I've got a mate who is the opposite. Agrees to everything - meaning he agrees to about 5 things happening at the same time in very different places.

Your mate is worse DJ I'd say. At least TP's mate doesn't commit and it's kind of tough if there's no room for him when it takes place. He's not cost anyone money or taken anyone's place.

I've also a mate who it will be his idea to do something only to pull out cos he's missus is working and he has no one to mind the kid.

You know you're missus works irregular hours when you come up with these ideas, surely you can have something in place for a few hours while she's at work!

Very true Diafol.

I suppose what annoys me is that he won't commit when you know there's a 95% chance he'll say a week beforehand that he's going. I'd understand if he lead a busy unpredictable life but he really doesn't.

I also don't get how lads allow their missus to control them such as not been let go for a few pints while there is no apparent good reason for it.

I always text and not phone.
Have a mate who responds to texts with a phonecall that I never answer.
Communication between mates on the phone should be the following text exchange:
"pub?"
"yeah"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I always wonder if it was easier in my dads day where you just showed up to the pub and see who’s there. A mentality he still keeps to this day despite being now well up with technology.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I didn’t have a mobile at uni. Was telling a younger person at work this and they were just dumbfounded at how a social life could operate without a mobile.

It was dead easy. You just turned up at a pub. If there weren’t many people there we tried another. Maybe another - hey presto, impromptu pub crawl. And if you wanted to see someone, you went to their house.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Haven’t thought about it before but I suppose the art of “knocking on” is dead now?!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Na, in the old days you could phone a mate from a phone box and you could relay a quick message before the beeeps asking for the money to be inserted - 'pub at 8!' beep, beep, beep

Of course assuming his maw wasn't on the blower for hours to her sister

Yes, I would understand if they were out every weekend drunk and misbehaving but I never understand women who hate their partner going out without just cause.

Fair enough. I can see how that gets annoying.

On your other point I go out when I like but don't take the proverbial like every night/weekend! As I've got older I actually prefer waiting a month or two and having a good meet up with friends when we all make an effort rather than half-hearted attempts every week.

Yes I agree with that. I used to be an every weekend man but as I've gotten older and settled down I've less of an interest in that.

I still like a pint at the weekend but the days of staying out until all hours are gone.

Won't talk to me about Titanic when I demand he does so.

I honestly didn't know about ringing mates to see if they are coming to the pub. I just went to the pub and there was always someone I knew, or got to know.
Funny, no 'pubs' here but a couple of years ago I went to O'Connels fake pub to watch United, all French of course, except I got a drink sat down, another bloke sat next to me, English, what are the odds.
Only trouble, I drank more, naturally.

When you are in the pub, you and everyone else wants to leave to go to the next pub instead of 1 tool who refuses.

It's never that important but just an example, he Whatsapped me a question last night, I've responded with a follow up question and he still hasn't opened it yet. This is a regular occurence.

Responding to a question with a question is also super annoying by the way
