I find it really telling that more than 150 people have responded to this story. To me that shows what a visceral reaction people have to someone being a really crappy "friend."
You can argue till the next blizzard whether this woman had the moral/ethical/logical/legal "right" to turn her friend away in a snowstorm/blackout, whether the friend hd other people to turn to, and on and on. But the fact is, when all the rationalizations are spewed, she was just WRONG. Flat-out wrong. A self-absorbed bitch. Period. There will be other Sundays she can snuggle under the covers with her boyfriend, whom, I hope, she treats with a little more kindness and respect than she did her text-messaging pal. But at some point, she'll realize that however many Sundays there are, she has no friends left. Except people as shallow as she is, I guess.
