Don't bother people, if you can do it yourself

We all need a favour sometimes — and it is the right thing to help each other.

The problem? Some people never stop asking for favours. Or they ask for help, when it could be done by themselves.

If you have got a little problem, have a thought or two, how you could maybe solve it by yourself, before annoyingly calling around, disturbing people unnecessarily.
With other words: take care of your own shit.

Few examples.

(1) Ordering stuff online, but never at home, to pick it up.

Sure, I can cover you up, pick it up few times, but every fucking week?

Collect your garbage from the store, or at the post office, have it shipped to your work address, instruct the delivery guy to throw it in the bush. Problem solved.

(2) "Can you take me to the airport?"

Dude, you can book a flight ticket, you can book a hostel, fancy activities, but you cannot get yourself a transfer to the airport?

There are tons of transfer apps, a bus, a taxi, or hitchhike.

If you go on vacation, it means you have got time. Stop bugging people, who are busy with themselves.

(3) Home pets.

Are you sure, you can afford a dog, a cat, a gold fish, a kid?

Ironically, people who struggle the most, they will get a dog, then annoy everybody around, who is going to take their dog for a walk?

Please, think twice. A dog is not only a 15 min scratch per day. You have to walk your dog, feed it, collect shit, brush it, take it to the vet, etc. Think again, if you can afford it.

We all have our daily battles. Ask for help, but don't be a bug.
