R: "So how long till you can make your own hours?"
A: "I can already make my own hours."
Me: "Then why don't you take some days off? So you can have some free time."
A: "Why, so I can stay at home and do nothing all day like you?"


------------------------

Me: "So? What's wrong with that? How am I any less of a person than you because I don't work? Are you honestly placing all your self value on how much you work? Maybe I don't need money. Maybe I already have ~26K saved up. Maybe I don't see the point of working a shitty near minimum wage job if it's only gonna let me save MORE money I don't need. Maybe I only consider a job worthwhile if it's paying for me to move out, a feasible possibility when I get a lease on my own business next year. Maybe I already have enough saved to open said business. Maybe my parents already pay for all my s**t anyway. Maybe I like being able to take walks when I feel like it. Maybe I like being able to hang out with friends. Maybe I like not having anything to complain about. Maybe I like being able to travel whenever I want. Maybe I like waking up whenever I want. Maybe I like having funny stories and adventures (that may I remind you, don't seem to include you nearly as often as they used to)."

or

Me: "You're right. I do stay at home all day. But here's the difference between you and me. I can wake up tomorrow and go apply for a shitty job. But when you wake up tomorrow, you'll still be fat, ugly and alone."

or perhaps the worst insult of all,

Me: "..."

When you care so little about what a "friend" thinks about you that you simply don't feel the need to say anything at all.
