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?

Out comes the pain -aaaggghhmy mate proper stiched me up.
He asked for 90p back the morning after a night out as "his mrs drank half pint less over the evening". She didn't care - he was just so tight. They were staying in Norway in my mrs mums cottage, free of charge for a week.
Then, as his conservatory roof was shite and leaky, i was asked to spend a weekend there to help. no problem. Friday night at 10pm he smoked my weed then he stood up, turned off the lights and TV and went to bed. Leaving me in the dark in the front room. It then got weirder and weirder as he wouldn't speak to me if i asked anything, and it got so bad that by the time he finished he didn't even say thanks and kept stopping for tea breaks and not telling me. Proper pissed off i was.
After the 90p shenanigans, he then "forgot" to bring any money for his weed, then "forgot" for a month to transfer it. I actually got 3 sets of bank charges as it was promised to be there by the end of the month. Lying sack of shite.
I booted him off. Thats not being a mate, thats stitching me up royally.
He still sees some of my other mates, when he wants weed. And "forgets" his money even though its the only thing he went to see them for - and only stays 20 mins after a 1 hour drive to get there. He has known this mate for 17 years, and me for over 10.
Some people are just cnuts of the highest order, and will never change.
all i ever wanted was a mate whom may occasionally had a pint with me. I would help any mate to the end of the earth FOR NO MONEY. I reckon mates rates are mates rates, ie cost of materials, plus the time given for free. In return i like cups of tea whilst working.
i would however sort them out proper if the boot was on the other foot, case of beers or bottle of scotch or such thing as i see how much it would have saved me by going to a business for the work.
My thanks for helping a mate for 10 years - being ignored, fleeced for weed and money, not even receiving phone calls. Or even emails on fridays as this normally mentioned the weekend and this was off limits.
What a cnut. Even now i feel the rage returning.
