I really hate fighting with friends over stupid things that were either misinterpreted, or assumed. Here's some advice to anyone who has friends: If you're going to get mad at your friend, make sure you have your reasons straight. Then, approach said friend and discuss it with them. Get to the bottom of the "situation" with the person.
Going about this in the wrong way could lead to a bigger dispute, which in the end might lead to losing friends. I've had experiance with this in the past and it did almost cost me a friend. So I'm not just making this up to sound like a know-it-all, or to even make a point. I just don't want people to mess things up, when they don't need to be messed up.
Now, I know some of you might be saying, "Oh, she's just saying this because *such and such* happend." Well, that did make me more aware of this topic, but it's not the only reason. This advice goes to anyone with a friend. People are losing enought things right now, the last thing we need to lose is a friend.
