hello i am not THAT much of a pushover

i was kind of annoyed during my exams because i was doing a good deed for someone and she has burdened me significantly without even a single thank you or appreciation of what i have done.

there isn't any moral oblige from me to be nice to her but i did it anyway because it didn't take THAT MUCH EFFORT to do it and i always think that sometimes people have no one to turn to and by doing them a kind deed, it would inspire them to be kind to others too.

she did not take her exams this semester, presumably from a medical condition. So, when she asked me to help her pass a medical certificate and apply for deferment from the school, i said okay, sure and stopped by her house in the morning on the way to school.

i called her 10 minutes earlier, to tell her since it was really early and told her to get ready to meet me downstairs. she answered my phone and said okay sure.

i arrived 10 minutes later and messaged her that i was downstairs already.

then i called her twice. no one picked up.

at this point i was waiting for 15 minutes going on 20. exam was in an hour and a half and i have a lot more to read.

i decided to leave her house and go on to school because i couldn't afford to wait any more.

and i texted her to tell her.

she merely texted me "sorry i was asleep" an hour after my exam ended, around 12.30pm. when i arrived at her house it was 7am.  and she proceeded to ask me "where are you". at this point i just knew from past experience, that she probably want me to go to her house again to pick it up and go on to school again, pay another RM2 parking and help her again. sorry man. no. and she stopped replying after i told her i was out. i guess i'm of no use to her already anyway.

look.

it doesn't take much to acknowledge that some people have waited close to half an hour while sacrificing their revision time just to deliver some medical cert for you which you could have done by yourself anyway but were too lazy to walk 15 minutes to school.

but brushing it off and then asking for help again without even a single intention of saying thanks is just too much and reeks of taking advantage of people.

i know that she knows that i am pretty laidback in nature. even during our group work, i didn't mind doing the bulk of the work along with another girl. it's not that big of a deal because i find that it has helped me significantly for my finals. i fetch her home occasionally because it is hot and walking for that distance at that time is pretty dangerous.

but i try to think of the times when she has called me or talked to me just for the sake of saying hi , i really do not remember any single occasion where she has done that.

everytime she calls is to ask for something.

i do think i am pretty naive and dumb for being nice sometimes to strangers and acquaintances. but i am not THAT dumb.
