No, it isn't funny at all to me. It's typical insensitive, all-about-me, the-heck--with-you, very-early-in-recovery, addict BS.
Spades are more important than talking to you right now because he isn't trying to talk you into getting him anything or picking him up right now. He has all the time in the world to be on the phone with you when he wants something, but when there's just talking, not convincing, to be done, he's too busy. Pathetic. Try to detach as much as you can, because he sounds like a real user. You're signing on for a lot of pain with this guy.
Love,
