My mate's mate. The reasons might seem frivolous but they're my reasons nonetheless
He's exceedingly pretentious. Like tonight, for example, my mate mentioned that we went to see Contraband. My mate started to say "The best part of that movie was..." and he cut him off and said "...the credits?". I then said, I thought it was pretty good. He looked at me as if I said I enjoyed watching Siamese midgets riding goats, he then asked me what my favourite movies are. I replied first with Shawshank Redemption (which is one of my favourites but said it to end the conversation, as i knew it would) and he replied "That's alright then".
He won't go see films my mate wants to because, essentially, they seem below him. Basically that type of person
My other reason is more annoying, to me. He's an Inter fan...that should probably be in inverted commas. I'm not all knowledgeable of Inter, nor would I ever claim to be. However, this guy doesn't seem to know who plays for Inter half the time. He's come out with gold such as...
We were talking about the Italian national team and I mentioned Thiago Motta, who had just left Inter and he said something along the lines of "Who did Motta play for before PSG again?"
Tonight he referred to Diego Milito as Gabriel Milito and didn't correct himself until I looked at him with the most bemused face I could muster and even then I had to tell him that it was Diego
There are more examples that I can't remember where I've just sat there looking at him and thought "WTF are you on"
I know they might sound frivolous but when you're actually conversing with him, it's incredibly annoying
