Nobody wants to think poorly of a friend, especially if one's been a lifelong companion, but sometimes it's best to face the facts. Even if they're fun to be around, the truth is that that one friend is really just a scumbag.

Redditor u/just_want_advice_7 needed to know exactly how other people figured out that a loved one was a bad person. And as much as it stings, some of these seem all too familiar.

After reading through hundreds of comments, some patterns quickly emerged. While these responses certainly don't cover every bad situation, they reflect some common tropes among bad friends.

Note: Comments mention violent transphobia, racism and other anti-social behavior.
