If you say so. Kind of weird that just acknowledging that people take advantage of you gets you labeled a "nice guy," since that's generalizing the term to a massive degree. Some people do in fact get walked on. Life sucks that way.

All I'm saying is: By occasionally doing my roommates dishes and agreeing to walk her dog when she was at work, all I taught her was that if she left those dishes long enough, the problem would solve itself, and if she slept til three in the afternoon, I would be forced to walk her dog for her when I got home from work. And all I taught my boss by doing the extra tasks when we were short a few hands was that it was always easier to add more to my plate than to hound my coworkers to get off their phones and do their jobs.

I mean, for fuck sake. I planned a vacation nine months in advance with six friends who all spent eight months telling me they were down to go, and agreeing to pay for the cabin when I told them I was making the booking and putting down the deposit, and then three weeks before the date, they all bailed. So I told my parents that there was free space in the cabin if they were interested in a vacation, and they agreed, but then expected me to alter my travel plans to better fit their schedule, and didn't tell me until the day we arrived that they expected me to drive four additional hours to pick up my older brother who was also coming via plane. They couldn't do it because they had plans that day.

I don't think it makes me a "nice guy" to be jaded from shit like that.
