There was that man, an IT student, and he was low on cash, as all
students are. So, whenever I needed some help with the computer, I asked him, and paid him for this, giving something extra and paying for his transportation, just to help him out a bit, and we were friendly.
Then one day my Windows collapsed. I called him, he was out. They told me to call in the evening, when he would be back, and I did. He started shouting at me, telling me that it was late (though the person who answer the phone said it was ok time to call), and
basically telling me off. He found a great IT job and did not want to
have anything to do with me anymore. I wondered at that time why he didn't just said politely: "Sorry, I am not interested in this stuff
anymore, try somewhere else." I went to other people and fixed it for the lower price.
Some time passed, many months, and I received an e-mail from him, asking me how I was and what not.

He lost his job and wanted me to
help him - I know some IT people and really could.
Now, the question: do you really think I should? I have been in the similar situation in the past with other people. They seemed to be friendly while they needed me, then dropped me rudely, and all of them
then came back to me, asking me for something. I helped some again,
and then again dropped me and I felt bad about myself. Certainly people who act like this deserve what they get and must bear it on their own?
