Preference for IRL friends.
Friends usually think they're helping or that things are cool when they're not or sometimes just don't read the room right. These experiences aren't usually friendship-ruining but just times you wished you weren't in the same room as them.
Try to tell the stories without too much self-identifying info or "powerleveling."
To give you a better idea, here's a few of mine:
Does anyone else have stories like this?

I knew this one kid in school who was a retard in the literal sense--mentally disabled, talked weird, slow to pick up on things, would act out in ways that embarrassed everyone, had to be convinced to bathe... I have no idea why we hung with him at all.
Worst thing he did, someone had stolen my lunchbox and I was talking about it and explained my suspect and reasoning... then we happened to cross the kid I was talking about. I wanted to play it cool and just ask, but retard ran ahead and literally barked accusations and that started things on the wrong foot.
Earlier that same day, in lunch, retard friend saw this fat kid, and started laughing, POINTED AT THE FAT KID and joked "maybe he stole it because he was hungry!" like... it felt like half the lunchroom saw and heard that.

This involved a different friend.
So I was getting into this "edgy teen" phase where I wanted to be a master shoplifter. My dad took me and my friend to some sort of museum, and I stole a pencil from the museum gift shop.
On the car drive home, my friend keeps wanting to talk about it.. while my dad is in the front seat, HEARING EVERYTHING. I tried to whisper to him that dad would hear, and he would just say "it's just a pencil!"
Here's the thing: apparently my friend's parents were very cool with a lot of stuff, like they wouldn't get bent out of shape out of their kid stealing a pencil if the kid wasn't caught. The problem is my friend didn't realize that this isn't normal parent behavior and that most parents (such as mine) were basically the Morality Police and would not only give me a lecture, they would hold this over my head for years to come. It was basically like having someone in the back seat who kept loudly saying "so when are we gonna kidnap the president?"
Thankfully, my dad never understood the context of our conversation. Later on, my friend actually got to see what my dad was like and then he understood my attitude that day. It's now just something we laugh about.
Incidentally, I later felt bad about stealing that pencil, so next time I visited that museum I bought a pencil but left enough money to cover two pencils, and left before getting my change.

Does anyone else have stories like this?
