Friendship red flags are often overlooked, especially in our adolescence. With the voice of our overprotective parents still echoing in our minds about friends becoming a "bad influence," young adults tend to ignore serious character flaws in their friend group. However, this group of university students was wise beyond their years when they realized that something was a bit off about their friend, Suzanne. 

Although they knew she was self-centered, brazen, and sometimes overly confident, they initially brushed off her quirkiness as a part of her personality, but then they realized the truth. Straight out of the Trader Joe's checkout line, this group of gals found an unexpected item in their grocery store bagging area: An extremely entitled and embarrassingly impolite friend. 

Bad influence or not, Suzanne proved that she wasn't the type of person to hang around with anymore, and after the grocery store incident, her true colors were revealed. Perhaps Mom was right when she weeded out the friendships we fostered in our youth, because she didn't want us to end up a line-cutting, sushi-stealing, gravitationally selfish, and borderline sociopathic friend. 

Thanks for that, Mom; I owe you one.

  • Immediately, everyone in line was looking at her in confusion...because it's just so rude! Who thinks they can cut to the front of a line? The employee at

  • the register told her she needs to go to the back of the line and Suzanne started arguing, insisting that she already waited once and "only has one item, so it's not a big deal."

  • As she was arguing with the employee, my friend and I both told her several times, "Suzanne, go to the back of the line."

  • Suzanne seemed pretty irritated that we were also insisting she queue again, so she huffed and dropped the item on the counter, saying she didn't want it anymore.

  • We left the store, two of us embarrassed, and I never hung out with Suzanne again.

  • Also, we had gone to a sushi restaurant for dinner, and Suzanne saw that another table had left without finishing all their sushi rolls. She asked a

  • waiter if she could have their leftovers and he was visibly taken aback. He told her he couldn't stop her, but the restaurant wouldn't be responsible if she got sick.

  • She gleefully grabbed the large sushi boat display. from the other table, brought it back to ours, and feasted on it while telling us how stupid some people are, to be leaving behind uneaten sushi.

  • Euphoric-Lake42... Get rid of her. She's so selfish to think people would be ok wither cutting the line. Any rational person would know to get on the end of the line.
