Do You Know People Who Only Call You On the Phone When They Want Somethihg?

Unfortunately I have encountered a few of these kind of people. I can hardly call them my friend, their more like acquaintances. And just because we hung out that one time at that party they think it's alright for them to call me up at anytime to ask me for help or a ride. I hate it. Sometimes I will buy some one something out of the kindness of my heart, and then they all of a sudden expect me to pay for everything. I am not any ones "sugar mommy" so I don't expect to be treated like one!

Yes, unfortunately I know such people. People that I do not hear for months and in some cases years. People who call when they are in a jam of some sort. Expecting to be bailed out, for whatever reason. Those type of people get on my nerves. The best way to handle them is to try and make an excuse to get off the phone whenever possible, while trying to convey that they should just try and do whatever themselves without being rude. Try and take the high road, even if it is tough and these people can be very grating. Very, very grating to the point where it can lead to immense anger. They will not give you the time of day until they need something so why should you give them your valuable time period.

Oh how I despise people that are like this, and really wish they could wake up and smell the coffee and find ways to support themselves like by getting a job, and doing things more for themselves. There are too many times people now a days do not want to ever do anything, and it is sad. They need to realize there is more to their life than being a freeloader all the time.

I have a friend's mother who calls whenever she needs help. She is polite about and usually starts off with a "How are you?" but eventually she ends up asking for help and I have to go over to her house and help her look at bills and such. Right not I'm a little busy with school and busy spending time with family so I just have to no to her when she calls.

Yes, and I usually try to ignore such people. They are just selfish and think for themselves, not because they are genuinely interested in having a chat with you

I don't have any friends like that and my family never bothers to ask me for money or favors. But I do know that there are some people who pretend to be your friends. My best friend has met some people who act nice and all of the suddenly she never hears from them for days, weeks or even months, but out of the blue they will give her a call and ask her for money or favors...never bothering to ask how she is doing.

I don't know such people..... .........check list of your friends and avoid those who call you with own interest on their mind...soon you will have people asking "how are you" in the beginning of the conversation.......

i have this friend in high school who always do that. good thing is that he never phone me but thing is he'll visit me personally. the moment i saw him entering the door, i know for a fact that he's up to something especially financial matters. at first, i kinda cant ignore him that made him a little consistent in visiting and asking for something for always. never he visited us just without asking something for help. good thing we already moved.

no.. i don' think so.. but my friends might know someone who does all these things.. :). happy mylotting..

I have a cousin who is like that.I dont hera from him form between the first to the 22nd and then bam like clockwork on the 22nd I get a call from him asking how I am doing .Now many of you may say so so what thats the only time he gets an opportnuity to call me but then on a deeper analysis you will see that I normally get paid arond teh 25th of each month and he wants very much his concern for my well being to coincide with pay day so that I may be very liberal with my funds.You see this is a cousin who I normally give some money to when I get paid adn he wants to kepp that culture going .Dont get me wrong if I ask him to do something for me he will do it n

I *do* know people like this. I have one friend, specifically, who only calls if she needs a babysitter or if she has something to brag about. I use the term 'friend' loosely in this instance. And I actually have pointed out to her that she only calls when she wants something and she seems to think I'm crazy.

I take it as something is better than nothing. People today are engrossed with their own affairs and with people that help them survive and with these they are in touch almost on a daily basis leaving little or not time for those that they can do without. And so even if it is a contact with a selfish motive I dont mind it as I said earlier - something is better than nothing.

Yeah, I know some people. One of them is me. I don't like talking on the phone much that's why I call my friends only if it's really urgent. Another reason is because I'm cheap :(

hi, You are right. Some people call us because they have some advantage from us. they are selfish. But we can recognize such people easily. when I come to know that they want something from me I don't receive the call of such people. i hate such people and their calls.
