Anyone have a friend who will call you up when they're bored with nothing really to say and unless you cut in and go "Ok, man... gotta get going" they will just keep you on the phone for like 2 straight hours with nothing important said? Like "So do you think I should buy that shirt I was thinking about getting? Really, how come? Man, having a tough time deciding... you really don't like it though? What about the red one, did you like that one? What's the next movie you're gonna watch?"

I choose not to have friends at this stage of my life (this is starting to turn around though) but even when I did, I never had the kind of friendships where we'd just call each other out of the blue for no reason. I never saw the value in that. If we talked, it was because we had a reason to. Plans to make, something specific to discuss, etc.

I’ve definitely known people like what you're describing, though. The ones who will keep you on the phone for hours just rambling about random stuff, like they’re thinking out loud and using you as background noise. I never understood that. If I’m on the phone, I want the conversation to actually go somewhere, not just be a stream of pointless back and forth. I don’t get how some people can do that for hours.

Same. I don't see the time in it, that's what texting is for and honestly, even then it's a little trite for texting. I have multiple friends like this. Some who will call me every single time they're on the road. Even if it's multiple times per day. And if I answer it will always go like this "What's up?" "Nothing much, what about you?" "Nothing" then dead air for about 5 seconds. "So uh... playing any new games?" And I'm just like finger gun to temple.

For some reason, I can't access my desktop pc over the network from my laptop.

I can, however, access it the other way around.

I really need to figure out how to fix that so I can pull stuff to my laptop.

Everytime they call just say you're in the shower.
I did that with my friend's brother who was a real leech and after 4 or 5 calls he got the picture 😁

I have one friend who eventually got so out of control with calls, he'd call everyday like 2-3 times per day and to be nice I'd answer but I can't talk on the phone and do other things so it was costing me time doing things I wanted to do. So for like a week I just stopped answering and I think eventually he got the message and he didn't call for months. Then after a couple months he called and I answered and then it was right back to calling 2-3 times per day again.

The worst is when I answer and he's like "What's up?" and I'm like "Watching a movie" and he's like "Oh... so I was thinking about getting this new computer monitor" and to myself I'm like ugh c'mon, telling someone you're watching a movie should be a cue that you respond by going "Ok man, get back to your movie, I'll catch up with you later"

The only real solution I see is to tell them. It might not be easy (unless you're Dutch like me and a few others here 😁) but honesty is the best approach

I work between 06:00 and 15:00..

The last hour on a Friday is magical. Clean the desk, throw out old drawings, shut down the computer and you start walking towards the exit.. those steps are priceless.

I may drive around tomorrow and see if it hit anything. There is a shopping area nearby. Hopefully, it did not hit it.

I think I would have heard roaring if it was that close.

It is all calm now.
