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?

True storyA few years ago when Live Aid was happening and there were milions dying in Ethiopia, I decided that giving a few pounds wasn't enough. So I went out there for a year to help build a hospital.
Long story short, I stayed in the vilage of Mutunga and helped reconsrtuct the local infrastructure, building the hospital and distributing food aid. I'd like to think I saved a few lives and gave the children some hope. I went home feeling that I'd done some real good.
Then three months after I'd returned, I heard that the school choir from Mutunga was doing a singing tour of Britain to raise money. Naturally, I bought my ticket and went along to the local venue to watch them sing. Imagine my surprise, then, when halfway through the performance the little bastards whipped out semi-automatic guns and made all the audience empty their valuables into black bags.
"Don't you remember me?" I pleaded. "I'm Frank! I built a hospital for you!"
But they kicked me in the nads and stole my car. Fuckers. Now when I eat a lovely meat pie and chips, I think about those starving kids and I hope they choke on sand.
