It seems like people have had their courtesy and consideration zapped out of them lately, and I'm having none of it. Well, actually I have been having a lot of it and it's getting really old.

I shouldn't have to do anything that I don't feel like doing, especially if it is to pick up someone's responsibility, no matter how small. Those are the bonuses that come with the friendship package, so it really bugs me when someone just assumes that it's a given - that it's my duty to be a yesman - even when I am willing to help out.

Whatever happened to social graces?
