I will sometimes do things like that. If it makes the person happier, and if it's a person I want to make happier, then sure.
But if it's some jerk I'm fed up with....well, to put it simply, no way, no how! Contrarywise!
Example: "Heyyyy, let's get together for lunch so I can psychologically abuse you and waste your time because I'm angry at the world because of something traumatic that happened to me when I was six, I am such a victim, boo hoo hoo, now surprise!, I will make you a victim too, because it supports the idea that I have power in my life, and in doing so I am also taking the role of my abuser in a futile effort to make myself feel better about what happened way back then, oh God I hate being meeeeeeee."
Response: "Sorry, I have booked the time to process my own childhood traumas. Go away."
