friends

In this day and age, you'd be hard pressed to find someone on the street who has no interest at all in video games. Everyone has the potential to be a type of gamer in a sense. Sure, not everyone knows the heartbreak of a mid 2000s COD Xbox live lobby or the disappointment of almost any water level, but gaming is a thing near and dear to many of us. Here's a kid who's stepmom sold his PS4 so he rented out her house.

There's being friendly and then there's having a true friend. Knowing you have a deep bond with someone is a great experience. You can be honest, share your real feelings, and that person will be sure to help you out in a nonjudgmental way. For example, here's a Twitter thread about a loyal friend who took ridicule on behalf of their friend in school.

Twitter user baileyanastas tells the story of a friend who went above and beyond for their extremely anxious friend in class. We have friends who say that they would "die for you, bro," but what about the ones who would risk looking really dumb for you? That's a mark of some good friendship.

Man, oh, man this young lady named Dee was on an entitled tear. She had the audacity to go out for nice meals and many drinks with her friends, and then ditch them whenever the bill arrived. Not only is that inconceivably rude to people she called her "friends", but it's also insanely insensitive to the folks working at the restaurant just trying to make ends meet. Fortunately, Dee's friends were able to teach her just the kind of lesson she needed. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about various harmless pranks that people can play on friends. It's always fun to keep those friends on their toes. 

Now THAT was a rollercoaster. The forgetful friend really inspired the panic when they shared that they left the mac and cheese at home, in the oven, with a dog there. Fortunately, said oven was left off. So a solid and ridiculous false alarm. 

It's just unfair. Yes, favoritism can be infuriating at times. Whenever you witness someone getting preferential treatment, for whatever reason, and as a result, finding yourself in a potentially more disadvantageous situation. Favoritism can really get under people's skin. These accounts of favoritism are certainly enough to get the blood boiling. 

This guy asked people on Reddit whether he was in the wrong for not letting his friends enter a special, "Forbidden Room" that he had created for his autistic roommate whenever they became overwhelmed. Apparently, the friends complained about this decision, and were demanding to be let into the "Forbidden Room" next time. Sheesh. 

Ah, the good old choosing beggar strikes again with another ridiculous case of entitlement. This guy's biggest mistake was assuming that the car was going to be the dealbreaker when it came to getting lucky on his date. Naturally, that kind of twisted thinking resulted in one ridiculous and avoidable angry back-and-forth between friends, regarding being able to borrow a car. Hopefully they're able to salvage their friendship. 

This guy asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was a jerk for clapping back against his friend who said she was out of his league. He proceeded to meet that statement by telling her that she "wasn't that pretty." People seem to be of the opinion that everyone kind of sucks here. 

This is one of those stories we just hope is a work of fiction. Apparently this vegan got "white girl wasted" and proceeded to get tricked into eating chicken nuggets by her friends. So, she goes from 0 to 100 and takes "evidence" of their prank to the cops, to try and have them charged with "food tampering." Apparently they're potentially facing charges now. Uh, yeah you're a jerk. 

First of all, let's not deny that this is actually incredible. Usually people ask if they're jerks over something like their disowning their sister for marrying their bully, but damn, 3 feet of sub? Eating over half of a sandwich the height of a man is a tremendous feat that many of us wish we were capable of. That said, eating that much of a sandwich intended to feed a whole party is definitely a selfish move. He was sort of measured about his approach, but that wasn't enough to cover the fact that a whole lot of sandwich went missing.

This guy decided to live tweet his poor buddy's marriage falling apart in a blaze of glory. Turns out the guy had stopped gambling, but never said he'd stop for good. It was that detail alone that sent the conversation with his partner into a terrible downwards spiral. The devil is in the details, man. Buckle up and enjoy this emotional rollercoaster. It might be an oldie, but it is absolutely a goldie. 

This woman asked the people of Reddit if she was in the wrong for walking around her place bra-less, in front of her boyfriend's friend. Many people are expressing their opinion that she is in no way doing the wrong thing; and that in fact, it's her place, her boobs, her rules. 

This tumblr thread shows, with cute photo evidence, that other animals just seem to get along with capybaras. Not only are they shaped like friends, animal sanctuaries have also used them as sort of foster moms. If only everyone could be as chill as the worlds largest rodent. For another wholesome thing, here's a list of all the animals one tumblr's grandpa brought home.

This guy found himself quite shook after realizing what he read was in fact not a Harry Potter novel named "The Order Of The Phoenix", but instead some erotic fan fiction. To make matters even more grand in terms of the fail in this story; he didn't realize he'd mistakenly read Harry Potter fan fiction until he was already in the middle of a conversation with co-workers about it. Yikes. But also, amazing.
