The silent treatment
"My friend would never say hello first. She’d always wait for me to greet her and initiate conversation, so one time I decided to leave it up to her and see what happened.
She assumed I wasn’t speaking to her, started giving me the silent treatment, and we never spoke to each other again.
To be fair, we were fifteen at the time." — Ellebee458
Game, set, and match
"I taught my friend how to play tennis. He was full of admiration and thankful for me. Tennis players have the knack of returning the ball in such a way that it lands on your racket comfortably and makes you feel better than you are. Over the months, he got cocky when he thought he improved and began acting disrespectfully toward me. I whooped his [butt] in a game, and he had a tantrum. I told him that it was just a game and told him to grow up." — marukoshinchan
Sweet dreams
"Apparently, they had a dream that I tried to drown them and it 'changed their view of me'" 🤷 — Banana_boof
"Lmao. I've had a lot of weird dreams with my husband. I once dreamed of him running around naked with nothing but a pink tiara on. But changing how you treat someone or feel about them based on a dream is silly." — BooksAndStarsLover
Boy trouble
"I had been single for two years while she used me as an emotional therapist for her boyfriends.
Then I started dating my husband, and she decided she didn’t like him from the get-go. She basically dropped me. We hadn’t seen each other in two months when I finally gave up.
A year later, we got back in touch and she reamed me for “choosing some boy over her,” even though she’s the one who removed herself." — anonymous
