Fixing bikes for mates sucks!!

[The Stranger:Me]

No good deed shall go unpunished.

No good deed shall go unpunished.

Agreed!! The problem poster#1 is that you associated with a total loser, I did that once, & not only did i fix the bike up mint, but i also got a punch in the head from the drug addled owner at the end of it.
I have also joined the never again club.

Breathe in, Breathe out, and move on.

Sucks big time I know, but you've just got to be choosier of who you help.

Agreed.

I will help my self. And charge the rest.

The world is full of f*ckers who think that you owe them something.

Nice work, trying to help someone out for free, but it's a sort of 1950's thing that doesn't work in the 3rd millenium. Now, it's all about me, me, me, and what you can do for me. And when it doesn't work out, it's a case of you now owe me. You bastard!

[MentalFacility]

Been there too. Mostly helping people out with there busted computers...

Oh well, now I only help those who im sure about.

[Timber020]

Man I hear you, I am always being asked to do "little jobs" for people. And I try to help out. But when you turn up and use 50k worth of quickly depreciating gear, risk your life you would think you wouldnt get many complaints. ha!

Or for free you go way out of your way to drop 2 tonnes of pine rings off for firewood and all you hear from them is "but its not split" although you told them 3 times that it wouldnt be.

[The Stranger:Me]

Seriously, you sound like a generous person.
Are you going to let some arsehole/s change that?

Fucked if I would. I do a lot of work for others for nix and I aint going to let someone elses actions change me into a miserable cunt.






Ok, ok hit me with the wise cracks now.

Hmmm... I hate when you do that!

Poster#1 I suggest you rock around to the offenders house & explain how the situation works. (Unfortunately however un nesacary it seems, you will need to explain it to them because clearly they are grade A dumbasses) Ask what their issue is & tell them FUCK quite clearly.
Possibly you could also give them a bill that reflects a fair representation of your time spent on the bike. Youre not fuckin Santa Claus, so why wouldnt you.

[FROSTY:Me]

Dude --been there done that.
Dont let the attitudes of the ungrateful concern you.
You know you did the right thing.
In my experience the truth has a funny way of comeing to light.

[Okey Dokey]

That's a rotten thing to have happen to you. Try not to despair. There are more good people than wankers out there, even if it doesn't seem like it at the moment.

[Slyer]

Know how you feel eh. Get so many people in my IT job who blame me for their completely unrelated IT problems.
Blame me when their hardware fails after doing a software upgrade... *sigh*

I charge $5 - $10 for all computer repairs for my mates if I have to do it all by myself. If they are helping with the work I don't ask for anything.

[imdying]

Yep... people suck arse. I used to repair brake/clutch/throttle cables on the weekend to help people out of bind... used to offer that service to KB members too... you know the rest.

[fire eyes]

*Exchange In Energy*

Trade services ... you fix thier bike .. they do your lawns!

Unfortunately you can't control what comes out of folks mouths if they want to disrespect your time & effort that went into helping .. don't stress! think about it for a minute ... the mother who indulges in defamation of your considerate character may not be getting any nookie nookie! and the father well possible impotence? lol (disclaimer .. I am not laughing at his possible impotence I am laughing with it) .. turn it around dudeeeeeeeeeeee ... there are genuine people who actually appreciate help and most often than not, are more than willing to return favours or exchange energy that is beneficial to both parties.

Rock On!
