I feel bad and surprised: this is a person I might need to deal with for many years and who has always been very nice. I know they are asking out of desperation but I am actually dealing with the same situation and foresaw the issue and made arrangements. This person did not and now wants me to fix their issue.[/quote]
Think of it this way, if this person holds a grudge, then it was inevitable that you guys would fall out. The kind of people who make big asks that a reasonable person would know are inappropriate and then get mad when those asks are not accommodated are impossible to avoid running afoul of eventually. Even if you accommodate all of their asks except for one, that one you didn't say yes to will matter more to them than all the ones you said yes to. Losing this kind of person's friendship isn't something you have control over.

In the alternative, if this person is a reasonable person who just had a lapse out of desperation, then they will come back and get over it.

Ultimately, there is nothing more for you to do than to keep it classy and let this person go through their process.[/quote]
