Don't you just hate it when you receive a call asking for help?
Not from your friends, but from someone who calls you only to ask for help. In my case, my NS friend, called asking for money to settle his medical bills. Hey man, I need to pay my own bills too. But being a nice guy (arrrgh how I hate that!) I said yes, I'll pass you $250 if you'll meet me near my office. After half an hour of thinking, I got into the right perspective and called him again to say, "Sorry, but I can't pass you the money. I need the money too. Sorry. ( see how nice I am? It's not my fault and I'm apologising.)

And his reply?
"It's OK if you can't help me. I understand. Bye."
What the fuck?
