The Idiot’s guide to Idiocy

How many of us actually realize it? Consciously or otherwise we practice double standards when it comes to friendship. Come on, let’s be serious. There are those we call friends and we’d help help them without question, wish them a better life, yada yada yada. And then there are those we know, we hang out with them when there’s no one else to hang out with or when it’s too expensive to hang out with the usual group of friends.

Still classified under friends, but these are the people we abuse, put down and insult. They are "entertainment", having no other purpose than to give us a laugh at their expense. And yet we still call these people "friend". There should be a different term. I don’t think the word "friend" fits.

In a way it’s expected. There are friends who we’d do anything for and then there are "second class friends". They are only friends when no one else is around to entertain us. Two different standards of treatment. How… sad.
