hello ladies and gents. welcome to the thread.

i assume you have all heard of the famous "dealbreaker" discussed by Tiny Fey on her hit television program 30 Rock (from the sun lol).

if not, let me inform you: a "dealbreaker" is something that makes a romantic relationship absolutely impossible! doesn't wx the hair on her upper lip? dealbreaker! murdered his mom when he was 14? dealbreaker! roots for the yankees? lmao i need not even say

well, this thread AINT for those. this is for FRIENDSHIP dealbreakers. a little "intimate," as it were, but no less devastating perhaps! this is for stuff that just prevents you from being or remaining friends with a person, no matter how long the relationship has been going for, how perfect it seems... when this little bit of finromation finally comes out, or as you slowly realize it's a repeat pattern... it's time to SEVER. i'm talking stuff like "doesn't get nachos as a food" "prefers star wars/trek over star trek/wars" "doesn't think cheating is a big deal" "voted for a pink floyd song for best classic rock track on th erecent WXBI countdown weekend."

here are a few for me:

i used to know this guy tucker. TUCKER was the kind of man who would get unbelievably angry whenever someone dog eared the page of a book or made a crease in the binding. we used to talk about books and as a book fan and esp a sci fi fan it's great to have someone to talk to about this kinda stuff, but i borrowed a book from this guy ONE TIME, and that was it. i guess actually the "dealbreaker" was on his end (bc i accietally creased the spine) but man let me say it was MUTUAL!

another guyu chris. really good guy went to school with him, smart dude, fun to hang out with, makes a banging G&T. anyways. what's the catch? there's gotta be a catch. you're ddarn right. chris had this terrible habit, that whenever st. pattie's day came up, even the littlest bit, he would AWLAYS ALWAYS bring up how there isn't just green in the irish flag! there's orange too!!! how one is for the catholis and the other is for the protestants! but it just annoys him sooooo much that nobody in america ever knows about the orange irish! and he would wear orange every st. patrick's day and then get into arguments with whoever tried to challenge him for not wearing green. i kid you not. lemme tell you, chris, what is annoying... honeslty dude, nobody cares about this but you, and i assume several grieving families. anyways, i just got tired of it and stopped hanging otu with him.

what are you some for you? let's dish.

Quick question, how do you make a bad gin and tonic?

I had a friend growing up who really liked sports. As we got older the only think he ever talked about was sports. I don't really care for them, and he couldn't hold up a conversation about anything else, so we drifted apart.

My other friend is a picky eater, but in a way where he will only eat the really expensive brands. I offered him a cup of coffee once, which he accepted until he saw that it was Folgers. He grimaced and walked down to the coffeeshop by himself to get "quality" coffee. I like the guy, but come on dude!

Basically if you share anything on facebook that is racist/sexist/homophobic, etc. I know that we won't actually be friends. I will usually pretend to be friends with these people if they aren't too over the top and I feel I can benefit from our "friendship" in some way, but that's it.

You make a bad gin and tonic by using grocery store brand gin, diet tonic water and no limes or lime juice and serving it in a plastic tumbler

I just can't be friends with people who cut people out of their lives for banal and stupid reasons that any normal person would just ignore so they could enjoy a good healthy friendship. Especially if the "problem" they have with the person literally only comes up once per year.

So.......goony nerds. Yeah, I can't be friends with goony nerds, they really annoy me.
