Sometimes kids just don't understand the word no.
So, I guess we run a charity now.

"Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled underfoot
You're so cruel"
-- U2, "So Cruel"
I guess that lyric needs to change to "ponies".
If your idea isn't worth $15 - the cost of a BuyVM 128 he was asking for - then it's not worth spending any time on. Go hock the action figures you no longer play with and - wait for it - pony up the cash.
Of course, since "you guys are really shit" one has to wonder why he wanted one at all...
I recall a year or two ago, a provider pulled out of freevps.us, saying that they offered free vpses in the hope that either those using them would trade up for the advertising would bring new subscribers. When this didn't pan out after a year or so, the provider discontinued the free VPS and man was there a lot of indignant screaming.

I'm sure if we had given it to him we'd have been the bee's knees.
I've had to deal with my share of cases like this too. It usually goes the same way:
"Can I have free service?"
"No."
"Fine, fuck you guys"
*5 minutes passes*
"Are you hiring right now?"
In total we have like 5 services donated out. Of those, most are done as favours to a staff member. We used to donate a lot more services back when we did things as Frantech, but we stopped that once the communities always turned corrupt.

"I met you five minutes ago and my friend said you're really good, but right now, since I'm a kid who doesn't have money and wants to get a free server but you won't give me one, my so-called friend said you're really bad."

I've gotten this one a few times. Most of the ones that ask just end up confused when I ask them if they have bad knees, though.
You should have said "we don't sponsor free VPSes, but you can get a free VPS from these guys", and then give him this link:

Well that went on for far longer than I would have expected.
I use to get a lot of people wanting sponsorships and some did deserve them but at the same time; as the OS has pointed out, we're all a business and not a charity.
Very nicely handled on the OPs behalf though
