A lawyer 'friend' once sent me an impersonal bill for $250 for a 15 minute phone call in late November where he spent less than two minutes advising me and the other thirteen minutes were spent bs-ing about family and upland hunting.
In early December I sent him only a Christmas card wishing him and his family the joys and blessings of the season..... I've never heard from him since. (I had hoped he would call me to discuss the 'unpaid' bill - after all, we were friends)
I guess we've gotta know these things before we engage.
