i think there's only so much you can put up with, no matter how good of "friends" people can be. there are probably many ways to go about handling this, but you really can't change a person's character or personality. that is just who they are. you can try to wait on this person to see if they change, but that probably won't happen. you could confront the person on the issues that bother you, but they may take it the wrong way...then become upset, because they don't know that what they are doing is bothering you or even think anything is wrong in the first place, and wonder why would they have to change. or you could just ignore the person, but in the long run you'll have to probably explain yourself anyways, so i guess it may be better to just talk about it with the "friend" and maybe there may be a way for the parties involved to remain friends, and if not, then oh well, at least you did something about it.
