How do you deal with an idiot friend.
I was at a restaurant with my two friends, one is an incouragable pig. He kept leering at the waitresses until I finally said "Would you knock it off, you're fucking embarrasing us?" My other friend agreed and then the guy goes off on a tangent "Don't tell me what to do...blah blah blah."

I was so fucking pissed, this fuck has no class and it's completely embarrasing to me. I almost left the table.
Later on I asked him how this girl was doing cause I hadn't seen her in a long time, she's the sister of a dead friend. All he has to say is "Oh man, she's gotten so hot recently!"
SO I said "Whatever, how she doing, like her job and stuff?"
Again he says "No, jer I'm serious she's just smokin'"
Drives me fucking nuts.

13. Hey, Bush is 58...
... and he still hasn't grown out of being an asshole.

Age doesn't have anything to do with maturity. Life and experience do.

Cheers. BTW, cute pic in the sig line.

2. You could do what I have done in similar circumstances
*stop hanging around people like that* - I now refuse to go do anything with anyone who is rude or at all weird to the waitstaff in restaurants. x(

5. It's all the time
It's completely stupid, you'll be talking to someone, some girl will walk by, he'll nudge who you're talking to and talk over you "wow look at her"

It's fucking irritating.

But I can't just not hangout with him because he's in my circle.

10. What does the rest of the circle think of him?
Surely you can't be the only one who feels this way.

When I was in high school we had a "friend" who drove everyone nuts. But each of us thought that she was someone else's friend. Finally, one day, we all realized that no one could stand her. She was rude, embarrassing, crass in public, you name it. Anyway, you might be surprised - I doubt you're the only one who feels this way.

11. Everyone thinks he's a dope
But he's one of those dumb guys and know one has the heart to tell him so.

12. Keep him at a distance
He's probably a sad and lonely person inside.

8. Find a higher class of friends ?
Does he have any good qualities ? Is he teachable ? If not, I'd move on, life is too short to hang with imbeciles.

9. Not friends - friend
My other friends are fine - my buddy was just as annoyed as I was at teh table.
But, it's hard to just ditch someone you've known since grade 8

15. I hear ya
He may grow out of it, also you could help nudge him out of it. Maybe you and your friend can mention it to him? If he's receptive, then you have something to work with. There's nothing wrong with admiring a fine looking woman, but rudness is uncalled for. Also, no man has EVER convinced a woman to sleep with him by belittling her. Maybe you can point out these things. A good sign of maturity is recognizing one's shortcomings,(whether pointed out by a friend,or self introspection) and trying to correct them. One more thing: it's NEVER a good idea to harrass wait staff BEFORE they bring the food !!!! We WILL spit in your eggs !
