Before you do someone a favor, do you ask yourself "does she/he deserve my favor"?

I'm not talking about favors done to people who really need help. These are social responsibility that don’t even count as favors.

The favors I am talking about are ordinary favors.

For example, I don't answer of the people who ask "Am I pretty/handsome?" here. Because I don't know her/him and I don't know if she/he is someone special enough to deserve my sincerity or favor. At the same time, I am horrified to read the opinions of many people who are trying to make these “people they don't know” feel good.

So, before you do someone a favor, do you remind yourself that they probably don't deserve your favor, or are you happy with being a freelancer fairy godmother as a side job?

If you have ever owned a pickup truck, you will know that you acquire more friends than you can shake a stick at. They all need something moved.

A guy I worked with asked me to help him haul away a washing machine. I told him I would be happy to help, but first he would have to help ME haul away a washing machine.

I won't finish the story, because you already know the ending. I learned my lesson well.

Thanks for the MHO.

Holy fuck you sound selfish!

People don't owe me anything or have to prove anything for me to be kind to them. All they have to do for me not to be kind is to show malice to me.

No, I just do it for them
