Do someone a favour and you end up paying for it?

Anyone else find that? karma redresses the balance by rewarding your good deed with a kick in the nuts?

I find that!!! Every single time, without fail! I end up paying for it. Towed someone's piece of s*it no-start vauxhall about ten miles, on Saturday, in the van to a garage, needs a new ECU I think.

Diesel lift pump has been 'asking' to be renewed for over a year now on the van, by talking to me in a strange growling language, but a quick chap with a hammer usually gets it spinning again no problems. Well not after ten miles in third gear towing a piece of s*it vauxhall it doesn't. Broke down six times today with a couple of tons of larch 4x2 rails sticking five feet out the back door.

Couldn't even lock the van, so made it home 100 yards at a time, eventually. Might buy a new pump now.

I hate fkn vauxhalls!! (just for the record)
