Part-Time Friend

A PTF is a person who desperately wishes to conduct a "Friendship Session" and will, unrelentingly, pester you until you do accept some terms. Then, after the session, they simply fade back into obscurity for weeks or months until they become bored again.

"Damnit, he's calling again!"
"What? That's the fifth time this hour!"
"Fuck it, i'll set up the damned Session so that I don't have to deal with this Part-Time Friend anymore."
"It doesn't last forever, you know. He'll bug you again in a week."
"*Sigh* I know..."

Seasonal Friend

A friend who seems to always want to do something during one season (summer, for example), then seems to drop off the face of the earth once the other season rolls around for one reason or another (perhaps school).

One way to mitigate this type of friend is to share in common interests during more than just the months where they seem to have the most time.

"Man, Tanner hasn't wanted to do anything in ages."
"yeah, I know that feel."
"Darn Seasonal Friends."
