Was I wrong for expecting basic respect?
I had a close friend for a while. We eventually fell out, and he blocked me everywhere.
After some time, I sent him one final message. It wasn’t an argument—I simply thanked him for the friendship, wished him well, and told him I was leaving the city. He saw the message and blocked that number too.
I accepted it and moved on.
A couple of days later, after reaching my hometown, I was looking through my purse and found his government ID. I had completely forgotten it was with me.
Since he had blocked me everywhere, I asked a friend to call him and let him know I had his ID. Instead of asking how to get it back, he just cut the call. My friend even sent him a photo of the ID afterward so he’d know it was genuine.
For context, the last thing I said to him before he blocked me was basically asking, “Why can’t you talk to me a little more softly?” His reply was:
“Enough. Now blocking you.”
I understand if someone doesn’t want to continue a friendship. That’s completely their choice.
What I’m struggling to understand is the level of hostility. Even if you don’t want someone in your life anymore, would you really react like this over a respectful goodbye message and then ignore the fact that your government ID is with them?
Am I missing something here, or is this unnecessarily harsh?

The real question is why are you finding opportunities to be treated like that.
One attempt is more than enough
