Like I mentioned to someone else, in the rare cases where she says she gets called into work, I am always wondering if she really did or not. With most people, I believe it. But with her, it is more questionable. As for the person who faked a friendship, yeah she was not a real friend. She complained a lot and got mad at me and called me clingy if I ever called her out on something, even though I would do it politely and not actually in a rude accusing manner.

This gal I went to college with who I later ran into gave me her phone number and told me to give her a call and catch up. So I did. But, when I called her, she screeched into the phone, "What do you want from me!" As though I was asking her to donate an organ or something. I responded, "Um, you gave ME your cellphone number, so what's going on?" She was totally a fake friend. I would never give someone my cellphone number to be polite, if I didn't want them to call me. I ran into her a few times after that awkward phone call, and she completely ignored me.
I had another fake friend cancel plans on me at the last minute. First, I invited her to go see a play. She arrived 15 minutes late. Then after the play, asked me what I was doing and I told her that I was going to go home. She said, "well, why don't we get something to eat, I have an hour to kill before I meetup with [name of a mutual friend]." I declined and she later told the mutual friend that I stood her up for dinner. Um, crazy much? Later, she invited me to meet her for a movie (I don't know what I was thinking when I agreed to go), and then the day of, called me up to cancel, stating that she had somewhere more important and interesting to go to (she was 40 years old at the time).
I could go on and on with my list of fake-frienemies encounters. It's just too much. Even has happened to me online, where I've caught online friends mocking me and smack talking me *while I'm in the same chatroom* to others, then pretending they never did it. It's just mind boggling why these people act this way. I think they act this way because they are hurt, insecure, and have low self esteem. Or maybe they're just born that way -- as big jerks who couldn't care less about other people's feelings.
