Friendship shattering?

One of the t.v. shows I like to watch is about a group of twenty something friends. Tonight the episode revolved around annoying habits. Each of the friends did something that annoyed at least one of the other friends.

For example, one of them chewed food loudly. Very loudly, no matter what kind of food it was, it was chewed loudly.

Until, the habit was pointed out, the rest of the group hadn't really noticed it. Well, then everyone started pointing out everyone else's annoying habits and by the end of the show they were arguing with each other.

But in the end, like all good sitcom's do, they reached a happy conclusion. They realized friends overlook those foibles.

They just do.

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.
1 Corinthians 13
