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?

Tight fisted gitsI was asked to supply and operate PA for a small gig recently. So I turned up, humped all the gear in myself, set it up and sat working the desk all night, listening to fairly amateurish singers.
At the end of the night, as I was derigging, the organiser came up to me and said, "Well thanks very much for doing that. You'll not be needing expenses - you're only just up the road", and buggered off along with everyone else, leaving me to pack all my gear away and drive home (which was admittedly just up the road, but that's not the point).
My gast was somewhat flabbered.
