    Jaysus, isn't it past your bedtime little man. *pats head*

    Anyway, OP, I have seen it happen before, but tbh, sometimes you never really know what somebody is really like, and this guy has shown his true colours. You are better off without a friend who is like that - in fact he was never really a friend at all. He's a shallow, backstabbing knob head. That's why he's a manager now. ;)

    ...yeah! And you smell like poo in the loo and you're a crybaby too. :rolleyes:

    To the OP - don't worry about it. You're "mate" was obviously always just a stuck-up, elitist c**t waiting to escape from his workaday shell. I've seen it before a million times. It's just a sign of immensely week character and you're better off not knowing him. I've a mate like that. The lads and I don't work with him but every promotion he gets during the week turns him into more and more of an arrogant asshole at the weekends (not returning your calls on purpose to gain attention, clicking his fingers at louge girls and waitresses, etc). Suffice to say he won't have any friends soon enough. Just accept that some people are too f**ked up and insecure to handle any kind of success, burn your bridges and move on :D

    I guess the friendship just didn't mean as much to him as it did to you. Like he probably thought you guys hung out because you worked together, whereas you thought you started hanging out because you worked together.
