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?

How fucking timely...If anyone knows the job situation in teaching in South Wales they will know just how fierce it is. (200+ applying for each post).
After qualifying two years ago and applying for god knows how many jobs and getting no-where I thought once I was known in a school things would improve.
And lo! A college friend gets me some work in his school. I work there as a supply, getting more and more work until I'm full-time (despite keeping on a part-time job to tide me over the holidays). I'm offered temp post after temp post. I fit in. Worked like a dog, especially in one really challenging class. I run extra-curricular activities, I'm monitored and do well. I even work when I'm so ill I get sent home.
So some jobs come up. I apply. I have members of staff run round doing everything in their power (risking their own jobs) to help me.
I don't get it.
I gave a 'wonderful' interview in the eyes of one governor. The senior staff can offer me no feedback to help me improve. 'Keep doing what I'm doing'. I still didn't fucking get it.
Anger, disappointment. They don't even cover it!!!
