friendship

If you get a job in the service industry it's not totally out of the question that you might encounter some testy characters that are determined to make everyone else's lives a bit more miserable and uncomfortable, simply because they absolutely despise their own jobs. You can develop quite the thick skin, and spicy banter to boot, if you work long enough in the industry. You learn how to let the infuriating interactions with entitled customers not totally get to you, while you juggle various rare insults from your fellow coworkers. It can be quite the scene. It sounds like these dudes were eventually able to squash their beef and some kind of friendship developed as a result. 

It's quick stories like these from troubled folks in Reddit's AITA section that might make you feel especially grateful for not having to put up with a horrendously entitled friend. This particular "friend" pitched nothing short of an entitled fit after losing her free Netflix privileges. And then when she gets called out for complaining, she just blames her whining on that being part of her venting process. There's venting and then there's making a stink out of a friend reclaiming what's rightfully theirs. Check out more entitled people and their childish demands over here. 

Sometimes we can get a little carried away when it comes to embarrassing our friends. In this case we have one friend who decided to hatch a little plan to embarrass their influencer friend by intentionally letting them post a very dumb meme that they had no idea about. Suffice to say, the "influencer" and their lie that they decided to tell ended up looking very foolish. Maybe a lesson learned in there. 

Earth sandwiches are where it's at. See, wonderful things occur when people work together. Maybe existence would be a more lighthearted and peaceful place if there were more earth sandwiches going around. 

Nothing quite brings the blood to a boil like a choosing beggar who tries to play the "friendship card." This particularly entitled individual wants a free pair of custom sneakers, and expects such a want to be fulfilled because they're clearly such a "good friend." Seems like everyone involved here would be best served to never communicate again. Check out another choosing beggar who expected free art, and then the artist clapped back. 

Why'd they have to go and do us like that? Normally we can count on the wandering minds of Tumblr to consistently deliver entertaining gems. Sometimes though, things get a bit confusing. Like in this quick Tumblr post. Are we witnessing nothing more than some folks who never learned about what it means to hang out with your friends before? Maybe. 

Anyone who has ever hatched up a dream business idea with a friend will resonate with this cheery, wholesome, genuinely adorable story about a couple friends starting a bookstore together. 

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.

Sometimes the purest expression of friendship is to give your buddy a hard time. Take this guy for instance, who lent his friend a pair of snazzy kicks for his wedding. His buddy could've sent him a ton of warm, bubbly, wholesome pictures of people celebrating at the wedding. Instead, he decided to document the shoes' journey. That last shot is gold. Those shoes look so happy. 

Sheila O'Malley's story about her friends taking a risk and intervening when she was too overwhelmed by grief to ask for the help she needed is a beautiful thing. Sometimes being a true and loving friend is stepping up for that person in your life who can't see what kind of hole they're in, and needs someone who cares enough to notice what's going, to step in and help get them out of it. This story's got all the feels. 

These entitled choosing beggars just keep coming out of the woodwork. We have no idea what compels them and their unyielding wave of irrational demands. It's absurd. For instance, consider the dude who was offering free chairs and somehow still upset a choosing beggar.

So, one friend posts a picture of her other friends online, and they proceed to ask her to take it down due to their "fame", and not wanting to feed the rumor mill. Regardless of whether or not the "fame" is a complete work of the imagination, this girl could at least consider her friends' wishes. Just remote the absurdity of why, and maybe do it anyways. But alas, more drama was created, and now we have this mess. It could be the plot of a "Friends" episode.

This choosing beggar gives off the impression he's in need of a reality check. The dude expected his friend to loan him his new car for a date. When he was rejected due to his plans to have drinks during the date, he reacted by accusing his friend of not honoring the true definition of friendship. Um, okay then, my dude.
