Wealthy traveler calls friend at 3 AM demanding they drive 2 hours to the airport, gets offended when they refuse: 'They felt slighted'

In this story, a friendship was put in jeopardy purely because one individual expected another to do something that they thought crossed a line. They were woken up at 3 AM by a phone call, demanding they drive the 3.5 hour round trip to the airport as their friend had a flight to catch.

Due to the time of day and the last minute nature of the request, they refused to do this. They were later told that their friend was angry at them for not doing it, although they could have afforded a taxi. They felt some guilt, as this friend had recently given them a pricey gift, but they still wanted reassurance that they had done the right thing.
