I was recently on a friend's facebook page and noticed a troll (who apparently added them just to write horrible things on their page) commenting on any post that mentioned another mutual friend. Now this troll was telling the person that our mutual friend never liked them, and basically just stirring up trouble. This all came out of nowhere, and while I doubt its validity, it made me think of the times our "friends" get involved in situations that really don't involve them.

A while ago I was having issues with a friend and a "mutual friend" of ours thought it would be best to intervene. Now depending on the circumstances, I can understand people trying to resolve tension between two of their friends. For example, if you live with, work with, see them everyday, their issues eventually become yours; you're caught in the middle because you have to witness their avoidance of one another or, their curtness whenever they interact. However this was not the case with the original friend. Initially our communication was limited at best and just became less so. I'm sure if one of us was brought up in the conversation, we didn't exactly giving glowing reviews of the other.

The thing is neither of us wanted her to interfere, and she ultimately ended up causing more problems between us. I think the main thing is she didn't really know who either of us were individually or as friends. She formed her own impression of how she thought things should be or how they were. It is possible that she wanted some part in the glory of "reuniting" us. But people who do that aren't really friends.
