The phone call from hell..
Not the one that went 'I'm getting a bit attached to you' 'I don't give a shit about you, bye bye' (paraphrased, but roughly that response) or the one after a few week relationship 'I'm not sure it's working out, but it was just a bit of fun wasn't it?' 'well, I actually wanted you for more than the sex' 'ohshit'.

No, the one that happened after just a (very nice) night of kissing, and a subsequent meal out and clubbing night with nothing more than a hug. This person had a sort of boyfriend they'd split up with, and then got together again, and then split up and..

There was then the phone call about how it would 'never work' and we should not try and progress it beyond friends. That took up the first 15 minutes - fair enough. It was then repeated, with lots of references to their just out for a convenient shag ex boyfriend for the next *one and a half hours*. I of course was stupid enough to carry on listening as I wanted to keep them as a friend.

It would have been less offensive to say 'I'm all loved up from being fucked both by my crappy ex and an anonymous guy, the sex has made me retrospectively think they're amazing, so I don't want to fuck you'

Of course it wasn't worth trying to keep them as a friend in the end; I did all the staying in contact, trips to visit were expensive and drama filled so I decided to wait for them to initiate contact instead of checking in on them every few months. Still waiting..
