Sometimes all it takes is one petty moment to reveal who in your friend group actually doesn’t respect you.

One woman snapped a quick photo of her plate while out at a restaurant with her girlfriends, but when one of her friends labelled it “cringe,” she didn’t tolerate the disrespect.

Instead, she walked right out the door and forced her rude friend to find her own way home.

You’ll want to keep reading for this one.

AITA for walking out of the restaurant and leaving my friend

My girlfriends and I went to a restaurant two days ago (I was the designated driver).

I ordered my meal and they ordered their meal.

I went to take a picture of my plate, and before I could even take the picture, one of them used her fork and stirred up my food.

Apparently this friend thought they were doing her a favor.

I got upset and asked her why she would do that, and she told me it was “cringe” to take pictures of food.

I could tell the other girls were uncomfortable, but no one stood up for me.

All I wanted was a dang pic because my plate was presented beautifully.

So instead of taking it, she decided to make a point.

I got upset and just walked out of the restaurant and drove home, leaving them behind.

When I got home, I asked who paid for my meal and Zelled her the cost.

Now the friends are trying to make her feel like it was her fault.

They started texting me and telling me that it was just a joke, what I did was immature, and that it was wrong of me to leave them behind considering I was the driver.

I do feel like I overreacted, but I also feel like what she did was mean.

AITA?

You should be able to be yourself around your friends, not constantly worry about being “cringe.”

Redditors chime in with their thoughts.

If this friend had such strong feelings about her taking photos, surely she could figure out how to get home herself.

It sounds like this user would have done far worse than just drive home.

Cringe or not, it was her right to do what she wanted with her own food.

No one should just stand by while their “friend” bullies them for something totally innocent.

If there’s anyone you should be able to be “cringe” around it’s your friends.

Maybe it’s about time to leave this friendship in the past.
