I have another i forgot to post. (this is the MOST annoying)
When you all come back home for the holidays, and you get that really annoying person who never stops talking about Uni.
You waste a good amount of your time pretending to listen to stories about people and places you dont know.
And its the same type of story, "yeah i got drunk last night blah blah"
Then they tell you how much they've changed and how independent they've become.
Although all they used to do back at home was get drunk all the time too.
Except now they're just doing it in a different postcode.
And there mum still sends down food money because they spent all there loan on alcohol.
Yeah your so independent and different these days.

Then you punch them in the face.
(Well wish you could)

You've just described my brother.

And I completely agree.

Mines a friend of mine. I know so much about his Uni friends, and how amazing Uni is and how great his Uni girlfriend is, I could probably write a book for him
About it and get every aspect right. It's so annoying. I'm at Uni (well was up until recently) myself. I really don't care about his Uni. People really need to learn to just keep it at. "it's really good, I'm enjoying myself" before the whole population dies of boredom.

Same.

It's the same whenever rings me to see how I'm doing ask for a "favour". He just talks about how amazing his life is and how independent he is yet I've had to lend him several hundred pounds because he can't manage his money.

Exactly.

I started going places on my own when I was about 12 or so. If I wanted to see something at the cinema, I'd go. Then on Monday morning, cue the usual shock from classmates:
Them: "So how was your weekend?"
Me: "It was good thanks, I went to the cinema and saw _____."
Them: "Cool, who did you go with?"
Me: "No one... I went by myself."
Them: "What? Couldn't you find anyone else to go with you?! Are you some kind of loner?"
No, I just never needed someone to hold my hand in order to SIT AND WATCH A FILM. Or do anything else for that matter.

In 6th Form, I despaired of the girls who would beg people "Come toilet with me/ someone walk me to my lesson, I don't want to look like a loner."
The toilets were 10 feet away, and the lesson just down the corridor. Apparently, being able to walk to a lesson on your own without your posse blocking the corridor, must mean you don't have any friends AT ALL.

I've just never understood it.
Sure, I socialise with friends, go out, take part in group activities etc... but I don't need to be with someone EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY. I can be seen in public alone, I enjoy my own company, and I really don't care what people think about that. I don't need the presence of someone else to validate my existence whenever I'm out in public.

I know exactly what this is like! But then when other people are around you can sense them calling you antisocial just because you want to do something yourself. Don't enjoy shopping with other people these days, because I usually need things in town but I want to check out more than one shop and then go back to the one with the cheapest/best option, then they'll be like "Well, we can't go back up there." Why? Is there a rule against visiting the same shop twice in a day? And it's funny isn't it, how we have to go to the cinema with our friends even though we won't actually talk to them? I usually go with my friends because when I mention a film I want to watch, they express an interest, so why shouldn't they tag along? But watching films isn't something you have to do with other people.

That's the worst. People who need you to come to get lunch or a drink or go to their locker or something. Why? It's about 10 seconds away, everyone is standing talking here, you can go and nip back, no big deal. That's not to say that I hate people, just that I don't have a breakdown if I have to go to the bathroom by myself.

When rugby boys walk past your flat at 3am yelling "uuuuunnnaaaaaaayyy!"

Or, even worse, when after the winter ball a bunch of guys who DON'T EVEN LIVE IN YOUR BUILDING congregate on your landing at 5am singing a variety of songs for half an hour - Robbie Williams Angels, the whole Grease soundtrack and Dansa Kuduro. They were decent singers, I'll give them that, but I didn't really appreciate it at 5am -_-

I'm exactly the same when shopping. Usually, I'll love the first thing I see/try on... but I want to look around to see if there's something even better. So I go around town, then end up buying what I liked in the first place. I shop alone too, for the same reason. Besides, I've had times when I've bought the first thing I've seen, then wished I'd waited because I saw something else later. I just think my way is better for me.

Cinema wise... I'm not completely opposed to going with people. If we both/all want to see the same thing, there's nothing wrong with that. It's just that if there's something I want to see that my friends don't, then why should I miss out on something I like, just because it's not to their taste? Same with other things, tbh.

I also don't like it when people act like it's a heinous crime to not want to go out, or to simply have some time to yourself, for any reason.
Just because I don't attend every party/night out/event, doesn't mean I don't have friends, or socialise. It's just that sometimes I enjoy being by myself, for whatever reason. I don't have to be working on an essay to turn down an invitation. I just know that I don't have the energy/inclination to be involved with EVERYTHING, so I make decisions and choose what I prioritise. It doesn't mean I don't like you, or that I don't think it sounds fun. Yet somehow, there are people who take great personal offense at the fact that I just don't feel like going out tonight, or think that I can't possibly be enjoying life simply because I don't party at every opportunity.

Same here. One of my friends is pretty bossy and likes to have the whole thing planned out her way, while another is hopelessly childish and will honestly go round the shop saying "Can we leave now." "Well, you can." I love them both, but I can't shop with them. I'm really indecisive, and to be fair, I would get annoyed shopping with myself, because I'll pick something up, try it on, hate it, put it back, buy everything else then pick that thing up, try it on again and buy it.

Neither am I, but if nobody else wants to see it then there's nothing to stop us going by ourselves, is there? It's a cinema, you're not there to talk anyway. You can always meet your friends after if you want to hang out.

Yes! This x 100. Sometimes I just want to watch a film by myself and not go out, but then someone gets really offended when I'd honestly rather watch Pride and Prejudice or something than go out that night. No, wanting to be by myself does not mean I'm angry with them/suffering from depression. Luckily I already have a reputation as a nerd so I just claim to have studying/homework to do. Of course, school's finished now and exams will be over soon, I'll need a new excuse for this summer. Although I'll be bored out of my mind so I probably will go out.

People who use computers in the library, stay logged in/put their stuff on the desk to make sure nobody else will use it, and then **** off for hours.

Also, generally having to do group work makes me angry in a way that nothing else can

when people ask to see my assignment so they can compare our answers. NO, i will NOT help you cheat. i find it lazy, disrespectful and just not nice that someone would ask me to jeopardize my academic career just so they can SEE if they MIGHT have mistakes. how do they know that my work isnt all wrong?
