50 People Recall The Moments When They Realized Their Friends Were Actually Huge Jerks
We tend to be more forgiving towards people we like (this is a fact), for example family and close friends. But everyone has their limits and sometimes it’s necessary to face the fact that someone close to you is actually not a very good person at all.
Someone asked netizens to detail the absolutely worst thing a so-called friend has ever done and people did not hold back. So get comfortable as you scroll through, prepare to raise an eyebrow or two, upvote the most horrendous examples and be sure to share your own thoughts and experiences in the comments below.

I was on a plane with my ex-bff. The plane lost cabin pressure. My oxygen mask wasn’t working. My “friend” refused to share even a single breath with me to save my life. Someone working on the plane gave me oxygen before themself (they’d just had oxygen in the back). When I asked why they helped me first (not protocol) she said my face was the color of an eggplant and I would’ve died of hypoxia. That so called friend never even apologized.

She made fun of how I reacted to finding out my mom was dead to all of our friends and every time I walked by them for weeks they would yell out “nooo” in the same tone I yelled it. I was 12.

My husband and I were going through a rough patch. My one and only wife or die girlfriend was the only person I told that we were going to take a little break. 2 days after said break she sent him a text asking him out to dinner. He flat out told her that she was a horrible friend and then told me right away. Her and I were friends for 14 years when she did that. After that we stopped talking, hubby and I got back together and quickly realized she had been one of our biggest issues all along and we just didn’t see it. Been together 25 years now. She’s still single

My husband died and not only was she not there for me, she told everyone that I was after her husband while I was so deep in my grief that I didn't want to exist anymore. I knew her since I was 6 and it was a 36 year "friendship." A whole lot more came out after that.

Ugh. What a disgusting excuse of a human. I remember when my dad died and how distraught my mum was. If someone had said that to her, I'd have king-hit their a*s. (And no, I don't condone violence or king-hitting, but my god). I went ape enough when the media tried to get a story out of us.

#10
I had a silk blouse I thrifted and I swear it had magical powers. you instantly felt beautiful in it and it attracted people to you. I told her about it and she stole it from my closet.

#16

Drop Bear from Hell 4 months ago
Huh? So the OP agreed to be driven an hour away then left? Then suddenly they are back together and the friend is crying? Think we are missing some parts to the story....

Family's_disappointment 4 months ago

#22

Tried to vote me off of a board I sit on for our kid’s daycare when advocated for teachers to have proper training. I’m now the president of the daycare
Riley Quinn 4 months ago
WTF? Advocating for proper training is crucial for daycare teachers. What kind of board is this that wouldn't want the best qualified teachers for these kids?
#25
Got him hired when no one else would. Gave him clients, drove him to work. He turned around and trashed my name to the millionaire client I gave him — and they’ve been on a quiet mission to ruin me ever since. All because I worked harder, trained better, and it showed. Insecurity always plots where respect should live.

I do not ever mix friendship with work. I learned the hard way that the people you work with will stab you in the back while throwing you under the bus if it will benefit them in even the smallest of ways. I've seen it happen over & over to other colleagues who trusted their "friend" too much. It always happens to the nice person who helps out everyone. I'm friendly at work but not friends. I don't hang out with them after hours, I don't give out personal information, I don't give anyone at work anything that they could use against me, and you'd be surprised what benign info an a-hole can & will use against you.
#26
Made up a story and called cps to my house, and asked her aunt who works with DCFS to take my kid and give it to her. Didn't work bc yk, lies don't work with cps but. Still traumatizing

Tell her racists aren't pretty. Not relevant, but I have approached hijabi women in public to compliment beautiful scarf
#35
I was going to Epcot with my friend and her boyfriend. Her boyfriend told her to tell me that he didn’t want me hanging out with them because he wanted alone time with her. And she did. She did not have my back. Fortunately I found another group of friends who were group of 3 and needed a 4th person to join them on rides.

Essentially told me she wanted to be me, & proceeded to get with my ex because in HER WORDS she “liked the feeling of knowing I could have something you had, so deeply”. Mind you this was my best friend of almost 12 years.
#39
My best childhood friend couldn’t even call me when I went through my cancer fight. We’re not friends anymore. She showed snake energy in our teens as well. Mom was right
Sian E 4 months ago
In this context, I think snake energy is another way of saying "Snake in the grass". Which is an idiom that refers to a treacherous, untrustworthy person who hides their true, malicious nature. It implies someone who acts friendly or harmless on the surface while secretly harbouring ill intentions.
#40
Started dating my ex right after I broke up w him
Fuhleeheece 4 months ago
Well, the two of them can be miserable together. Better than making two other people miserable.
#41
She invited me to sleep over, and I went because I trusted her. The next morning, while I was showering, she came in, took a picture of me without my permission, and shared it with people at school just because she liked the guy I was dating. I ended up getting bullied so badly that I had to switch schools. That picture followed me for years. And the sad part? That wasn’t even the worst thing she did to me. But look at life now I’m in college, healing and growing, while she’s stuck. When you constantly hurt people, life eventually humbles you. Karma never misses.
#42
let me pay $3600 for a 6 night vacation at a resort in Cabo for her to cancel 2 hours before we were supposed to go so I had to go alone... to Mexico... by myself... completely alone...
Drop Bear from Hell 4 months ago

My ex best friend used to tell me how I should leave my husband and how I can do better. I'll let you guess who is currently a couple. OH...she was also HIS besties wife first. soooooo yeahhh

That guy is as dumb as a post. She's welcome to that blockhead who probably can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
#49
She was such a pick me that she left me on a street drunk at 3am on my b-day to go home w some rando. (Who tried to make out w me earlier!) and we were in NY and I didn’t know how to get back to where we were staying. She told me to take a train

My long time best friend, maid of honor, bailed on me the week before my wedding. Broke my heart. Never even made her do anything stressful or be "in charge" of anything but it was "too much". Friendship over.

Ava Lemar 4 months ago
Feel for you. I always told my mom, I didn't care what kind of wedding I had, as long as my BFF came, it would all be good. I eventually ended up getting married in Vegas. It was sort of short notice but there was a few weeks worth of notice. My family offered to pay for my BFF expenses. She turned them down. She didn't come. Didn't offer any reason.

My best friend of a decade unfriended me on the day of my engagement and backed out of helping my fiancé setup the proposal and party 😂because she was mad I didn’t pressure wash her house on a certain day😁 she disappeared after that.
Roberta Surprenant 4 months ago
Why would proposal need to be "set up"? This reads as though op knew about it in advance, so proposal had happened in private but she wanted instagram moment?
#61

I went on a trip to Arizona with a friend of 10 years, her boyfriend, and another couple I introduced them to. One night I got violently sick, throwing up nonstop for over 14 hours. The hospital told me my intestines were shutting down and other organs might follow, but there was nothing they could do, so they discharged me in a wheelchair. While all this was happening, my “friends” went on a boat trip without me, left me alone, and made me Uber back to the house by myself. When I asked them to pick up my meds, they forgot about me. The next morning, they told me I had to leave and get a 3-hour Uber ride through the desert to Vegas.. alone, with no signal, and a random man driving. That’s how they treated me while I was near death. Then I waited 9 hours at the airport for the next flight home.
