[quote=Anonymous]I had someone who considered me to be her close friend, although I did not view her as such. We had known each other since early childhood, and drifted as we got older.  She once called me out of the blue and asked me to do a favor for her. I carefully explained why, both personally and professionally, doing the favor would be unethical — after I had laboriously explained other reasons why I would not do what she asked.  She then said : “But I was going to pay you.” And followed this with some disparaging comments about my professionalism.  I was done.

Years later, I’m still stunned that someone would actually have the temerity to imagine that I might be willing to do something unethical for “pay”. I have continued to keep a healthy distance despite having lifelong friends in common.

I have spoken with her occasionally, but she is permanently in my “not a friend, not someone with my best interests at heart” file, although she continues to reach out to me periodically.  [/quote]
