This post is also in reference to this thread that I posted earlier.
I was more than happy to help his family that day. However, this morning he instant messages me and say?s that the car is ready (was only a distributor cap, guess he doesn?t know much about cars) and needs me to drop him off to pick it up. I have a busy schedule today, two labs (6 hours) and got back from and 8:20 am class, so I tell him that I might be able to do it, if I get out of my chemistry lab early (2nd lab of term, so I figured I would get out early). The chem. Lab is scheduled to end at 4:45 and my BIO lab starts at 5:20, so I figured that 30-40 minutes each way would be enough time to get there and back in time if I got out early. The first lab started at 12:50 and I finished up at 2:10, so I call him and tell him that I could do it. He brings someone along with him to drive the car back (he doesn?t have license) and needs to follow me back (neither of them know area well). We leave at around 3 and get there around 3:40. He pays the guy ($533 for a distributor cap, rip off). I wait for him about 20 minutes and even check out his car to make sure that they actually did change it. The guy driving follows me, and goes unbelievably slow, I even called them to tell him to get the fvck out the left lane. As we are about 20 minutes away traffic gets thick and I call him, he says he knows his way from there and I say cool, ttyl and head to my dorm (fast). I wasted at LEAST half a tank of gas between today and yesterday and don?t even mention it. I get to lab, all tired from running seeing as how I only got back to campus at 5:05, thx to speed racer behind the wheel. I am expecting a call from him, to let me know everything is cool and to say thanks or whatever. He didn?t call during lab, so afterwards I instant message his roommate to see if everything is cool, he say?s yes. So basically, I go out of my way to help him and he doesn?t even bother to call and say Thank you! I must have spent 4 good hours of my time between yesterday and today! I go out of my way to do this between classes and not even a courtesy call? He is part of a group of friends (really acquaintances) from HS who only call me in college to get a ride. This is fine because they are the biggest god damn herbs and I have met new friends. Man I hope these kids have the sense to never ask me for a favor/ride ever again.
