I once had what I thought was a friend, but who was definitely a teacher. He joked that he brought a floppy disk to his school and his students asked who had 3d printed a save icon.

You could start writing a book with that line.

That's true! However, I don't like "what" there - friend or no, he was a who, not a what. I just couldn't write "who I thought was a friend," though reading it now it seems okay. Ah well; I'm no novelist, so feel free to claim the quote for yourself if you'd like.
