Friends come in all shapes and characters. While the former quality isn’t an issue, the latter is indeed food for thought. If you’ve got buddies in the following categories, it’s time they took a hike!
Moochers
What begins as a simple ‘Akta bite dibi,’ can soon turn into ‘Dost, treat dey na,’ in no time. Friends like these will give leeches a run for their money. They are usually the first to order at a restaurant and also the first to up and leave when the waiter arrives with the bill. Better watch your back; or in this case, your wallet!
Advisors
Who needs Dr. Phil and Oprah when you’ve got friends dishing out an advice or two? Even if you don’t want them in on your business, they will invite themselves into your lives, just to tell you how much they care. If you must seek expert advice, it has to be from them only!
The bank statement
Leave it to these guys to give an accountability of pretty much everything they’ve done for you. So the next time you ask for a ride home, a 100 taka note or even a shoulder to cry on, you might want to think twice. Needless to say, these peeps have a bright future in the finance dept.
Sir talks-a-lot
Be it the crease on your shirt or the way you chew, your yappy friend will find a conversation in some of the most pointless things. These motor-mouths are usually oblivious to subtle hints, so if you plan on keeping them at arm’s length, say what you need to say!
Relationship gurus
A treasure trove of relationship advice, these single and lovelorn friends will dole out a myriad of wise words on romance. So in case, you’re in a steady relationship, they’ll find a way to rain on your parade by telling you how your S.O isn’t ‘the right one’.
Uppity
The word ‘narcissism’ falls short when it comes to these folks. To them their glories up to their noses and you won’t really have to ask them about it; they’ll spill the beans anyway. These self-proclaimed celebs’ kryptonite is negligence. So go on, ignore them. That oughta shrink their inflated egos!
