Sounds good, I hate making plans, this seems chill af.
Reservations are stressful, worse than being at work and having a meeting at a particular time
Fuuuck that. I want a time, and I want an address, and I want to know what else we're doing.
I love my SOs dad, but he gives directions like: "Oh its 2 blocks south then turn at the Dairy Queen and it's right in the lot where the best buy is"
Like motherfucker I don't live in this area. I don't want to anxiously watch for a dairy queen tucked between two hair salons in a strip mall like I'm watching for a sign from god, give me the fucking address >.>
I feel bad because he was trying to direct me to a church for a luncheon thing after his dad's funeral, and I had to go cry in the car because I couldn't decipher his bullshit pirate treasure map directions.
Edit: rereading this I feel like I maybe ranted a little bit too much about directions, I just suck at directions ;-;

no no...it's totally valid, i agree wholeheartedly
Nope, your rant is valid. I suck at processing verbal directions entirely. Good text directions are acceptable if there's enough time beforehand to check them against Street View and handle any followup needed or the occasion is casual enough that being late doesn't matter.
motherfucker I don’t live in this area.
oh. i have a solution!
you can get back on the highway and head back the way you came. </crotchey old man impression>
Yep. I also hate when people say things like "I'll be there in a afternoon" "at lunchtime" "in the morning". What TIME? Afternoon? 1-5? Morning 7-12? Lunchtime? 11-2? Give me a one hour timeframe ffs.
And if you invite me to a group thing, please tell me who is going! And if we're meeting somewhere where exactly are we meeting? The shopping center is big! Which cafe or restaurant? Do I go in or wait outside? Ahhhh! 😅
Oh, hell no, fuck vibe based shit and fuck surprises.
Im not coming. I'm bigger and stronger, though i could be even bigger and even stronger. You don't have any leverage to force me to come.
"Thank you for the offer, but no"
This one of those things i will not be quiet about, i will outright just refuse. Calmly and reasonably at first, but if it's not accepted. Will flip that person off.
IMO this is only a problem when hanging out with low quality friend groups. With a real homie this is extremely superior
Do you want arguments about activities day-of? Because that's how you get arguments about activities day-of.
Too many bad things have happened when I've been a part of "going with the flow." :(
I'm too paranoid now, but also stress out about making plans.
Who hangs out like that? This must be what it’s like to be friends with a comcast repair tech
