The best analogous example I can think of is friends who are musicians. Most musicians I know DO like to hang out and play with other musicians, jamming with other musicians or just hanging out and playing at a party is different than performing for an audience.  The main thing I've seen that annoys musicians is people who expect them to perform for free. Like, inviting a musician to a party and asking them to play for people. But I don't think that translates well to paid GMing. I guess the closest would be if I were running games all week and some friends inviting me to a game night and asked me to GM, I expect my attitude would be "I run games all week, I would love to have an opportunity to join as a players, but I'm not interested in running another game, especially for free."</blockquote>
