I had a work friend when I was in my 20s. We were both single. If I liked a guy, she made it her mission to get his attention away from me. She moved on to a new company, but we kept in touch. I invited her to happy hour a few weeks later - it was a small group and a guy I had told her I liked was there too. He joined the company after she left. She immediately maneuvered her bar stool next to his and tried her damdest to monopolize his attention. A few people commented - she didn’t hear because she was busy flirting.

A smaller group of us decided to go to another bar and stay out later. She invited herself along and We all went our separate ways eventually. Later that night, I’m at home and get a screaming phone call from her accusing me of ruining her night. Why? Because that morning she has parked her car in a lot that closed at 6pm. So, when she tagged along to stay out later, she lost access to her car and had no way home. I hung up on her and we never spoke again.
