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?

My brother, as tight as a mermaid's underwearA few years ago I was moving out of a mate's flat and decided to share a place with my brother who, for the last few years, had been living with mum because he's totally useless at living on his own. The house was £500 a month in rent and the letting agent needed a month in advance plus a bond. As my brother was skint I said I would get a loan for money and he could pay his share back every month.
A month after moving in he came to me and said that he couldn't afford to pay back what he owed. This wasn't too bad as it meant that I would get all the bond when I eventually moved out.
Imagine my ever so slight annoyance when a week or so later a couple of sizeable brown boxes were delivered to him containing a various high spec DJ equipment (bro thinks he's a DJ. Oh dear...), which he proudly told me cost him a shade under two grand. Yeah, cheers.
Still sharing with brother and he's unemployed at the moment (after moving to a new job, not liking it and leaving the same day) so what am I going to do about his rent? Yup, get a loan...
What he doesn't know is that I'll be moving out in a few months...
