be in the house every friday and saturday night if they have a CAR and live in the CITY? I know a person who is 24, has no kids, has her own CAR, and never goes out on the weekend. Does anyone besides me think that is STRANGE?

Maybe she likes staying home.

No I don't think it's strange. Maybe she just doesn't feel like going out. She may be trying to save money. I stay home most weekends too, not only to save money but also because I don't drink or like to hang out in bars and that's mostly what 20 something people like to do on weekends. I'll sometimes go see a movie on friday or saturday but that's about it and it's not very often.

I don't see anything wrong with it. I mean, maybe she doesn't want a relationship right now...don't knock her.

Maybe theyre like me and are anti-social.

not if thats how they want to live

So do you think that person should cAll her friends who don't drive and say she is bored on a Friday night?

Only you would start a topic like this, Solomon :lol: anyway I don't find it odd at all. Every weekend my mother offers to drive me somewhere, give me cash, basically drop me off/pay for whatever I want to do... do I ever? nope. I just like to lay-low on the weekends

I guess i kind of get irritated by a friend of mine who will call me on a Friday night in July and say she is bored. So my response will start to be GO OUT AF DRIVE SOME WHERE!! Now if he OCCUPIED HERSELF like I do, then it's nothing wrong with her being home. But I just don't like to hear she is bored when she can get in her car and do something. I have gotten to the point where i don't even answer her calls on the weekend anymore.

No, that's not strange. Hell, I don't do jack*****. I never really leave the house. We all live our lives in whatever way we want to. Some people are social butterflies while others are anti-social. Nothing weird about it.

I think I asked the question wrong. I should have said is it weird for a person who is 24 and have A car with no kids ans always says she is bored? So answer that question.

Okay. Well, even licensed drivers can be bored. Maybe she doesn't have cash and in this world, you need cash to do stuff.

Yeah the cash part is true.

That's normal, actually. My brother's 23, not married and doesn't have any children, and he stays home when he's not working.

I'm not a social butterfly either, I stay home a lot. And I like it just fine. My town is a huge meth lab just waiting to be busted..

What difference does it make if someone has a car of not? I have a brand new car and yes I stay home on weekends. Like we stated before, it costs money to go out. Gas is not cheap these days and with the economy the way it is I think more people are apt to stay home and try and put extra money aside. Sometimes it's hard for people, myself in particular to find people who enjoy the same things we do so that makes it harder to go out too. Everyone doesn't want to go out at night by themselves. especially a single woman.
If your friend keeps bugging you about being bored, why not go and keep her company or you guys copuld go and do something together so she won't be bored. If she doesn't want to do that then tell her to leave you alone.

Maybe she's shy. Maybe she finds it hard to strike up a conversation with strangers. I know that's true for me.

I don't drive. I don't have a car; never have had one. So... I stay home. I rarely get out on my own. I live in the city.

But even if I did drive, I would have no desire to go to bars or date hang-outs. That's not in the least bit appealing to me; never has been, not even when I was 24.

You can only go to the movies so many times. You can only go to the mall so many times. You can only go for "a drive" so many times. Once you've done all of those things over and over and over, funny... but all of that becomes boring too.

On top of that, going out by oneself is really kind of depressing. If I'm going to be alone, I may as well be alone in the comfort of my own home.

Oh, and maybe she calls you because she does feel comfortable talking to you. Perhaps you should make some kind of suggestion for something the two of you could be doing... to get her out of the house and out doing something. Hmm... and why are you home to receive her calls, anyway?

;)

I'm home bcause i don't drive-LOL I'm further away from my friends since I moved into my own apt. And it's nothng wrong with being in, i'm just saying if someone is driving, they shouldn't be BORED ALL THE TIME

Yes! I just don't feel like going anywhere. I don't drink, hate parties, and all my friends are busy or live out of state.

She can drive, and has a car. That's part of your argument. So between the two of you there is transportation. What's wrong with the two of you going to a movie or a drive with her at the wheel? It doesn't have to be a "date," but simply two friends fighting boredom together.

:wave:

that's easy! she HAD a love, but he died or left her. and she's all depressed, and doesn't bother trying to find another from fear of rejection again.

No she doesn't have a computer-i think that is part of the problem.

I won't say that it's weird that she never goes out on weekends, but I will say that she could use her imagination and some suggestions and find reasons to go out on weekends. You all talk like getting drunk in bars and going to parties that you don't want to go to is the only thing for a 24 year old man or woman to do on weekends. She might have interests, or she could find new interests, that could result in reasons for getting herself out there on weekends.

I think that some of you get defensive when Solo--sitcom asks a legit question. It's a very reasonable question that he asked. Maybe someone has an idea for the woman. If she is bored then she must be looking for ideas. Why tell her that it's okiedokie to be bored, so get used to it? That's not going to cheer her up. :idea: :lightb: :banana:

A 24 year old woman should be able to occupy herself. And if she feels like she is getting bored-then she has to find something to do. Especially when she drives. When i feel myself getting bored i quickly find something to do. That what kids say-I"M BORED I"M BORED- adults should never say they are bored.

Why don't you ask her this instead of us? I'm not trying to be rude, but it's really no one else's business. If she wants to stay home sometimes, fine. It's not a big deal.

I won't ask her because she will get upset-LOL And I'm not saying staying home is a BIG DEAL because that's where i'm at now, i'm saying that if she has a car, she can just go out and ride around instead of saying I"M BORED!!!!!!!!!!!!

But don't you see? Just driving around aimlessly, or going to movie after movie, or going shopping, or... or... or...

This ALL becomes boring if you do it often enough. Do you know for a fact that she hasn't taken this approach in the past, and is indeed bored with doing that kind of thing?

It's all a matter of perspective and relativity. You and I enjoy coming here to Sitcoms Online; someone else might very well be bored with the whole experience.

Hey, I'm bored quite often, as I am sure is the case for most intelligent people. When your brain is starved for stimulation, you say "I'm bored."

Her mistake, it seems, is not the fact that she is bored but rather the fact that she called you on a Friday evening and made the statement "I'm bored."

I think she was turning to you as a friend who might perhaps want to join her in doing something together, even if that "something" was simply having a conversation. That was her attempt at doing something to fight her boredom.

Yeah but i can do without her moaning and whinning about being BORED. And I don't mean EVERY weekend she has to go out but i'm saying since she is driving, she shouldn't be in every Friday with nothing to do.
