They Were Best Friends for Over a Decade—Then One Shocking Moment Changed Everything
Anyways, the friendship had mostly ended by the next year, just because as it turns out she was a pretty s****y friend all around and we were fighting about something. But I guess I was still sorta holding out hope for it in some way or another. A mutual friend, R, asked me if I could talk to C because she’d borrowed a favourite belt and some money and R wanted it back (and my locker was right beside C’s). I told R that it was probably gone but I’d ask anyways.
Asked about R’s money and belt. I still remember C’s response.
“I only repay friends.”
Any thought I’d ever had that this might be a redeemable friendship went out the window. Told R what was said, offered to pay them back myself, but I was never speaking to C again. And never did. Four years of “friendship” over in that sentence, because it meant that she had never once considered me a friend, just a source of money.
I had a friend at work, he and I were good friends. He even pet-sit for my girlfriend and I while we were out of town. The whole shebang.
Then he straight up told us that he had stolen from the company and didn’t regret it. An expensive item too, it was a tablet computer that he was supposed to raffle at a public event. Just kept it.
One of the fastest clean cuts I’ve ever made.
Had a good friend just suddenly get obsessed with “chemtrails”. To the point where he would disappear while we were working on something and I’d find him outside taking pictures of contrails in the sky. He tried to convince me and I was just like, “I don’t really believe in that. Not my thing.” He would not let it go. He would send me all these YouTube videos that were supposed to be evidence but they were just people explaining the chemtrail conspiracy. There was no evidence. He wouldn’t stop so I just told him bluntly I was done being his friend and blocked him from everything.
I live in a small town. One of my employees is transgender and is self-conscious about small town folks staring at her and saying s**t. A friend of mine saw me at lunch with her and I introduced them. A few weeks later I saw my friend at another community function where he brought up my trans employee and said a bunch of disparaging things about her. I didn’t make a big deal of it, but I have stopped asking my ex-friend to hang out and always turn down invitations to hang out. When I was a kid I was “different” and I want nothing to do with people who disparage people just for being different.
I once told a lifelong friend that I wasn’t voting for the same candidate he did in the 2016 election, and he told me I was committing a crime against the United States of America, unfriended me on social media, and has never spoken to me again.
And I can pretty much promise you, the person you think I voted for isn’t who I voted for.
