And that's the thanks I gotOn getting screwed over by people for whom you were doing a favour:
I spent several weeks helping my best friend - a complete layabout - with his A-Level computer science project so he wouldn't fail his course. In the end, he did so little work I actually ended up doing the whole thing for him in a half-term week I should really have spent revising for my own exams.
I got back to college to find that while I was hunched over a red-hot BBC Micro, he had spent the week screwing my girlfriend.
Then he didn't bother sitting the exam because "I'm going to fail anyway".
And that's the thanks I got. How have you been screwed over whilst doing someone a favour?

Once upon a time...I was helping a 'friend' (who will remain anonymous) move house which consisted of driving the van with all of his (or her) stuff and then lugging it up a very steep set of stairs.
Once finished there were several pieces of crap that he no longer wanted and he offered me first refusal. The first was an old bike, which had been given to him by another mutual friend about a year ago.
So I thought, OK, I will take this bike off your hands, to stop you having to store it in your nice new flat. But no, the shit wanted £5 for it, and I paid it. Should've known then just how much of a tight arse he was. Still, look on the bright side, I got a brand new bike for nothi...oh!
