What to do about ass hole friends who don't know how to shut their mouths.
Yay, as the title said, an ass hole friend problem.
Okay, so, here be the problem:
My best friend, who I am okay with like 99% of the time completely turns into someone else when we play Halo, a ****ing video game. He is one of those people who wants to have a claim at being good with all the sponsored pro bs.
I'm not really good at Halo, and I understand it's just for fun, but he doesn't.
Once he starts getting more kills on me, I am pretty much alright, goin' with the flow, but he starts being a cocky bastard, to the point where he's even callin' me names for sucking total ass, which is when I start to fly off the chain a little, start yelling in his face to stop, and even insulting him back. After that, something happens, which I would like to call, "The ***** Wars".
I'm not going into detail about that, but he's telling me to stop getting in his face, acting like he hasn't done a god damn thing. He usually leaves the game and goes home, leaving with some comment under his breath.
Today he took it a little too far. I told him he should stop using all his skills against people he's trying to teach (my friend and I), but he refused. I told him after that he spends way too much time on Halo, Call of Duty, etc, and then insults me for being a Pokemon fan. I hit his arm with some force, just a "shut up please" punch, and then he grabs the back of my neck, and tells me to stop. After which, he *****es out, and then my other friend, who normally stays quiet around him cause he doesn't have a damn voice leaves.
So, here I am, at my house, typing up this bs hoping someone has some tips to calm me down so I'm not left being as pissed off as a bag of flaming horse ****.
Oh, I did think ahead a little. Not hanging out with him isn't really an option, since it's just one thing that is a bad character trait on him, and not playing Halo isn't a choice either. Since it's Halo involved, he says "Don't be a little girl" to pressure me into playing, blah blah blah all bs after that, so don't bother saying no play halo/no hang out.
Dammit, how do video games manage to ruin a guys night?
