Just Can't Deal

We all have those friends who never check up on us for anything. Christmas comes and goes, Sallah, even your birthday comes and not a word from them. We are not surprised by this as we already know them too well.
Then one day, your phone rings and it's them calling. You know instantly that something is amiss because they never call you, well unless they need something.
There are also those friends that the only time they call you is when there is a party that they want you to attend with them( as a party animal).
Others call you only when they need some academic answers(be happy that they see you as an 'efiko'.lol).
Some friends call you when they need directions to some places(as an 'Ajala' that you are).
Other friends call you when they need advice on relationship or man/woman matters (you have become dr phil).
Some even call you when they have problem picking the right outfits for events that they alone are attending(they'v e turned you to Joan Rivers).

There are so many friends that once you see their calls, you know what it is about.

Many of us fall into these category of friends.
I don't want to make this a religious piece but a lot of us relate with God like this.
 Are we not tired of just giving and giving in our friendships without our friends knowing that there should be more to friendship than what they make of it?

What do we do about these friends? Do we start ignoring them or we simply call them to order?

Do you have friends like these? How do you cope with them? Pls share your experiences so we can learn!
