This isn't something that happened recently. It just popped up while going through some old files.

Sometime ago, I had this web design client, who is sorta a friend, so out of goodwill I kinda got him free web hosting. After a year or so, he decided to switch his host (when it's free you can't expect too much from it). That was fine of course, I'm not making a cent from it anyway.
So, he needed help with the migration and I agreed. It wasn't in the prior agreement so it's basically just doing a favour. And since it's just a favour, it only made sense that my paying customers had priority right? Yes, he paid for the prior design, which was waaay below the market rate if I may add.
Anyway, he started bugging me like really late at night. The after midnight kinda late. Usually, I wouldn't be that ticked off cause I sleep really late, but I was. I had to wake up early for the period of time, therefore I sleep early.
For a person that usually sleeps late, to sleep early is really a challenge on its own. You know what I mean.
The most annoying part of all was when he messaged to say I wasn't being professional!?! That really annoyed me to the extend I am sooo not speaking to that person EVER AGAIN!
What sense does it make? When you are on a budget, I give you a helping hand, but once you're outta it, you find someone else. Fine, I accept that. But picture this, I'm doing you a favour, you can't expect me to take time off from my actual work to fulfill that favour. It's a favvvourrr! Even if you're a client, it would be a first come first serve kinda basis. What makes you special?
I always thought I'm not the kinda person that holds a grudge, well I'm wrong. I don't hold a grudge till the extend that I'd take revenge perhaps. But I do not forgive and forget. There's no communication breakdown here. You just don't understand the meaning of a favour and I'm not obligated to teach you. That's that.
I want nothing to do with this person. Even if I see him on the streets, chances are I'd just turn away.
