My friend is being an intolerable incosniderate asshole

[Rio Fantastic]

Hello,

So I've had this friend for about a year and a half, but recently his behaviour has grown increasingly infuriating, and in the past week he's acted like such a dick that I'm shocked I was ever his friend in the first place. Now bear in mind that he's recently broken up with his long term girlfriend so that may explain but does NOT excuse his actions. When he's at my house, I let him have xanax and beer, since when I'm at his house he'll always offer me a beer or two and it seems only fair since he is (was? i dont know yet) my friend, but he seems to think that gives him free reign to do whatever the hell he likes!!! Now usually when he's round I offer him a snack, but the last time he was at my house, he waltzed over to the kitchen like it was his, and throughout the day helped himself to as much fruit out of my fruit bowl as he pleased without even asking!!! He ate THREE bananas and a peach and was only here for just under three hours!!! I mean what the fuck!!!?

I tried to subtly let him know that it was totally unacceptable by saying, "Wow, that sure is a lot of bananas!" in a slightly menacing voice, but he didn't even seem to notice and just kept talking about his ex. Needless to say I was seething in rage for the rest of the day, and am still really angry about it. How should I confront him about this? I wanted to avoid a confrontation and possible fight since he's just broken up with his girlfriend but I'm not gonna be treated like a doormat.

I would try to avoid him for a few weeks and see if his behavior changes. If not, perhaps say something like "I understand you broke up with your girlfriend recently and that might be why you're being an asshole, nevertheless, it isn't fair to take it out on me". It's possible he doesn't even realize he is acting rude.

Say, "bitch quit eating all my goddamn bananas". Pretty easy.

you are overreacting. or this is well written satire. sorry to hear it messed up your day. you should nicely tell your friend, "bitch quit eating all my goddamn bananas."

I figured op would have tried harder if his intent was to be funny.

Next time he visits, leave out only the rotten bananas. Hide everthing else.
