It's not a fair call, no one knows who you are, no one knows who she is - it can't be 'personal' given that.
People just have differing opinions, rather than debate something useless it's easy to say f it, I get your point and it's a fair call if that's the way they feel. Personally I don't have an issue with posting anything but understood his/her point and don't see a need to debate a boring subject. All good.

Had Maccas for the first time in a while today because I wanted that free drink and fries (chippies) with the big mac. Was shocked when I saw the meat patty. What on earth has happened. They use to be a good feed

My tennis club is about a 5 minute walk Max from my house so I always walk there but when I'm coming from somewhere else I drive there but when I do this I always forget I've driven and walk home only to realise I had to go back and get my car

Some of my mates and their lack of commitment to anything. At footy training at the start of the week and mid-week we tend to discuss what we'll do on the weekend. Literally every week one of my good mates will say "maybe", "I might come but I won't go anywhere afterwards" or some other garbage response. Now he's a good bloke and ripper fun when he comes anywhere with us, but for some reason he just seems to be so carefree about whether or not he does anything each weekend. I have no issues with someone wanting to stay home every once in a while, or for a couple of weeks if they're down on cash, feeling a bit down or whatever, but this has been going on since we finished school. He didn't rock up to his life long friends 18th celebrations because "he was busy studying uni preferences" which was a pathetic excuse seeing as he still had ages to worry about them. His parents are known to be real strict and won't let him go overseas till he's 21 (that's when his sister was allowed) so maybe that's a factor, but gee it's hard to put up with this crap weekly.

I'm already imagining how distant he'll be once he finds a girlfriend.

Adding to that, another mate (the mate who got dogged on his 18th above) has recently gotten full-time work Monday through Friday and has completely disappeared on weekends. His girlfriend got a part-time job a while back and would always send messages to her mates saying she was too tired from work (4 hour shifts, maybe three times a week at max) or wouldn't respond at all, and would give similar reasons to her boyfriend if he was coming out with us. Now he seems to be doing the same thing. In the times I was working 5 days a week full-time I found getting out of the house, or doing something with my friends on the weekend great fun and a great way to blow off steam from the working week.

Might sound like I'm being whiny or whatever, but it gets pretty infuriating, especially when I don't see one of them at all (as he lives in the city now meaning he's at least a 25 minute drive away) The majority of my mates are baffled at their behaviour as am I. Are we being unreasonable or are our mates just being a bunch of selfish campaigners at the moment too lazy to catch up with people?

I have the view that you're only going to be a uni student/part-time worker for a short period of life and it's best to make the most of the free time.

**** I love "Maccas", haven't eaten it in ages though, apparently it makes you fat.

Not everyone is into getting smashed and munching pills every weekend.

Maybe they have social anxiety or going through personal problems.

If you're as insufferable around them as you are in this post I don't blame them for doing everything to avoid you.

Person 1 to me sounds like he isn't really into going out.
Person 2 sounds like a person typical of a person in a relationship who prefers to cave it up with his gf rather than party with the boys. Either way they aren't much into the going out thing. I wouldn't take it personally. End of.
