Wow, I feel downright evil if these are some of the worst things people have done.... :?
I'll tell my story and let everyone decide if It's mean, evil, cold, downright brilliant, or all of the above. It's a bit long, but should be interesting should anyone take the time to read it:
I'm 20 years old (8 years ago). I have a friend, one of my oldest and closest friends at the time. We have known each other for almost 8 years at the time of this story. Almost all of my other friends at the time, I was friends with through this person.
I end up randomly coming across someone I went to high school with, not exactly friends, we just knew each other a little bit. We end up hanging out a bit, but I happens this person is best friends with my friends ex girlfriend from high school. Over a few weeks one things leads to another and we sort of end up dating. Her situation was she was a single mother of a 6 month old. This has no real impact on the following, but it does somewhat bare mentioning.
You may be thinking "So what? It was just a high school ex. Big deal." Normally I would agree, except this girl played a big factor in my friend getting expelled from high school after they had gone through a particularly ugly breakup.
Needless to say when he found out we were dating, he didn't take it well. He basically cut almost all contact with me. Pretty much every one of my friends sided with him. Worse yet, the relationship with this girl only lasted about 2 months before she started to show her true colors and things went sour. So there I was, lost almost all my friends and no girlfriend or relationship to show for it.
But here is the twist. Everything that happened, and I mean ALL of it, happened exactly as I intended from the start. I was never even remotely interested in having any sort of long lasting relationship with that girl. I saw the opportunity to fulfill a personal agenda of mine, and I took it. She was little more than a catalyst for me, a means to an end.
As well as putting one of my closest friendships on the line as a calculated risk. I had little doubt we would becomes friends again in the future. As less than a year after all of this my friend and I did end up putting the whole thing behind us and are still friends to this day.
