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?

And I paid for the stamps tooI was a member of Amnesty International for three years, writing dozens of letters every week. Letters of support to prisoners, letters of condemnation to the regimes who imprisoned them, letters to our own leaders asking them to intercede on the prisoners' behalf.
In all that time, I didn't receive a single letter in return. Not one. I mean, the politicians you can understand -- they're busy with all that oppressing and so on -- but what with all the time they spent lying around in their cells you'd have thought the prisoners could've spared a moment to put pen to paper.
Damned ingrates.
