One thing I really hate about friends like this is how they verbally and sometimes physically mess with you. For example, a former friend decided it would be funny to snatch my phone and keep it from me, it ended up breaking and he never paid me back. Also, whenever I'm taking sh*t from another person and I finally snap, they're all like " aww, c'mon it was just a joke." I don't understand why you would do this to someone you consider a friend. Point is, it's ok to joke around but don't take it too far.

Some people take it to far and some know when to joke around. Just depends on their personality. However, It is fairly annoying when some are constantly hitting on everything you do then when you get annoyed its just a joke.

I'm hypoglycemic, which means I tend to shake a lot in my hands if I don't eat regularly, and everyone around me notices it. I joke around with it also sometimes and a lot of my friends do too. But I have literally beaten one of my friends because he took the jokes too far and never stopped. Ever since then nobody hasn't really joked around a lot about it. So I understand where you are coming from about friends messing with you.

I can take the occasional jokes but I hate when people go too far. Guess this rants topic isn't clear enough lol.

That doesn't sound like a joke taken too far, that is a bully my friend.

I cant stand bullies and neither should you.

Your options are..

A) If your not afraid of getting your hands dirty and you think you can take him, take out your anger on his face.

B) Speak to your parent(s) about it and see if they can go over to his parents to thrash it out and attempt to retrieve compensation for your phones value, if that fails get the police involved.

C) Do nothing and continue to rant about these type of people.

Doing nothing will only make him continue to do this to you and other people, personally I'd go with option A win or loose but not all people are like that so, deal with it however you see fit.

Oh and jokes taken to far are normally verbal, if it's physical and they don't stop when you ask then it's definitely 100% bullying, not joking around.

I guess you wouldn't like me as a friend since I take things far sometimes. But, I would never harm or break anything of a friends.

It is fun to have a laugh and a joke, however some people so not know when to stop and they take it too far.
What happened to your phone shouldn't have happened in the first place, as a result of that you have had to get a new phone / now without one ..

Sometimes friends just go too far and don't know when to stop...


This is a good way to find out who your real friends are though.

This, my so called 'friends' I had one day decided to steal my possessions and hide in the woods at 1AM where it's pitch black and then run off for me to not get my stuff back, so I went to their house got my stuff back and gave them a beating, never spoke to them since.
