Friendship should be a two-way street, but not everyone gets that.

So, what would you do if a so-called best friend only remembered you when they needed money or favors, yet vanished when you needed emotional support? Would you keep enabling them? Or would you find a subtle way to remind them that friendship isn’t just about convenience?

In today’s story, one woman finds herself dealing with this very scenario and decides it’s time for a little revenge. Here’s what happened.

She believes in use and throw. So I blocked her Netflix.

So, my “best friend” is a selfish person.

She will remember me when she needs something. Like getting her phone recharged or sharing my OTT subscriptions (without paying back).

And since I earn well and I considered her my friend, I thought this was just my way of telling her that I am her friend and never bothered.

She always used my Netflix account.

After showing just how much she cared, it was time to teach her a lesson.

Then there was a phase when I needed her to be there, just to listen and to support me.

However, she was too busy, and when I complained, she said, “You are always finding ways to be unhappy.”

So, I started logging her out of Netflix. I changed my password. She asked. I shared the password, but she would log out every day. She even tried OTP-based login.

As her good friend, I never denied sharing OTP with her. However, as soon as she logged in, I would log her out.

She is baffled now. She can’t understand what’s happening. That’s my petty revenge.

Yikes! Wonder if she’ll figure it out any time soon.

Let’s see what the fine folks over at Reddit have to say about it.

Eek. This person took it to another level.

For this reader, the friend should pay for her own account.
