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?

Saving a companyA few years back I worked for a shitty little firm with directors who thought it was perfectly acceptable to treat staff like serfs. One of the dodgy types who worked there was a very odd individual and started acting rather strangely. He pretended he was in the SAS and would have these "secret" phone calls and then dash out the office in a flasher's raincoat, whispering things about covert operations. Turned out he was a total loon and thought he would be able to take the company over. When he wasn't running around James Bond-style he'd been selling stuff to rivals too and was costing the company a lot of cash. Anyway, another member of staff and I reported this to the powers that be, mainly cos I hated the bloke. They seemed quite happy that their company was saved and tra la la, SAS man was asked to leave blah de blah
Now what do you think those sons of bitches did to demonstrate their gratitude? A bonus perhaps? Or maybe an increase in salary? Nope, two weeks later they made us redundant! Fuckers!
