[Serious] Has a friend ever done/said something that just straight up ended the friendship? What happened?

Made a friend at my favorite gas station who worked the nightshift, John. A few nights a week I'd find myself chatting with him into the wee hours of the morning about some nerdy shit usually. This went on for about two years until he got a job at a local fast food restaurant and didn't get the chance to see him for a few weeks. One day I'm there with another friend, Dan, to play catch up. I see John in the back, catch his attention, wave, and mouth, "wassup dude?!" At him. Go about my lunch with Dan. Not 5 minutes after Dan and I sit down, John rounds the corner, his lunch in hand, he'd obviously taken his break to see me. I, feeling bad af about this and thinking the two would probably get along anyway, invite him to join us. Ask him a few questions about the new job, give him some playful ribbing about not telling me he left the gas station, then turn my attention to Dan to finish asking him how his new job was going. As I'm saying, "I'm so happy for you, you know I hope the best for you!" John interjects with, "yea, I'm gonna take that as y'all telling me to, "fuck off."" and starts to get up. I, dumbfounded, question him how TF he came to that from what was said, but he just said he was, "fucking off and knew where he wasn't wanted." Mind you, all of this had taken place within a 4-5 minute span after he sat down, so it wasn't like he'd just been awkwardly sitting there as Dan and I chattered on and on. I insisted that if I'd wanted him to have fucked off I'd have said it in the first place. He just left and then stared at me with a mopey expression as I just gave him a wtf look. Dan and I tried for a moment to figure out wtf that was about, then carried on with our lunch. After we finished, I got back to my car and mulled over it, and decided John was out of line. Being rude to me is whatever, he's a bit eccentric anyhow, but being rude to Dan, one of my longest standing friends, was unacceptable. Messaged him about how confusing that was, how I was sorry but he had obviously misinterpreted something said, and that our friendship was over and I wouldn't be acknowledging him in the future due to his behavior towards me and my friend who had been nothing but nice to him. Haven't spoken to or heard from him since.
