I wasn't expecting a shipping fee!

We've all had that friend that's so willing to take everything you dole out to them, but when it comes time for them to take one for the team they are so unwilling it's like trying to move a boulder with a twig. Whenever you go somewhere, you're the one that drives, maybe because you don't trust their driving skills but for whatever reason it is you're behind the wheel. If they don't have enough cash for something you lend them a buck or two, or perhaps you only have plastic so you pay for it all and accept a cash from them thinking "I'll put it into my account so it's like I didn't spend the extra money!" though we all know that's not gonna happen. You buy the popcorn when you go to the theater, and perhaps you stop at walgreens and buy snacks for everybody as well, you know, the three for 5 dollars deal or whatever it is so you don't get jacked at the theater buying the same candy at a much higher price (I know you do it everybody does). To make the final point it's you who's always supporting them financially in whatever endeavors you partake in. Now, when it comes time for them to loan you money or help pay for gas since you drive them everywhere all the time they CRINGE at the thought of having to get off your coattails on which they so ungratefully ride. They act as is you've just asked them to do something unspeakable, as if you've requested them to jump off a financial bridge onto a concrete street. We've all experienced this before, and the worst part is, when they finally do pay you back (maybe 20 dollars out of the 150 you've let them take from you from various expenditures such as gas(it's not free), food(not just dollar menu items)) they STILL expect you to pay them back. Let me break it down real simple here so that I can express my rage in a manner that's easy. I can't freaking STAND it when I take my friends EVERYWHERE and help them out when they don't have enough money for snacks or Slurpees or lunch or whatever, and then I ask them to pay for ONE thing and they expect me to pay them back ASAP and act like it's the biggest freaking deal in the world and that it's gonna set them back SO much if I don't repay them, though they've not ONCE paid me for anything that I've helped them with. Just to relate to the post title here I bought my friend milk tonight and brought it over to him upon which he repayed me, but he was making a fuss out of me charging him 4 full dollars instead of the 3.64 it cost for the milk. Granted you have to figure in tax it added to my purchase total and me actually doing it instead of him doing it so you can see why I'd want the even four. He was just playing around, however, I've had people seriously make a deal out of stuff like that and when they do it's just outraging. Since I ranted a lot I'm gonna leave you with a lesson that I hope you will have learned from this.

Be willing to repay and help out those who help you, otherwise you may find that they won't be so willing to help you again in the future.
