Bizarre conversation I just had with an old friend. [View all]

We were pretty good friends back in the day. Then we sort of lost touch, mainly because we were caught up raising families and such. I called him about 4 or 5 years ago and we got caught up. Then I decided to give him a call, what with it being the holidays and all. Here's how it went:

Me: Hey "T", how's it going? Haven't spoken in a while and I thought I'd give you a call and catch up with you.
T: I have nothing to say to you. And I'm at work.
Me: Huh? Maybe we could chat at another time and figure out what the problem is here.
T: I have no reason to ever talk to you again.
Me: Have a nice life. Bye.

WTF do you make of that? It was like being sucker punched. We've never had a fight. Mainly because we haven't spoken much in the last 10 years. I just don't get it.
