[QUOTE="mtk, post: 842790, member: 54339"] OK, I have to admit, I've made fun of a friend who've had a concussion at the time. You keep asking them the same question, over and over, and they keep answering it, over and over. Now keep in mind that this was at the racetrack (the roadracing philosophy is that if you're not dead or paralyzed, you'll be fine), he'd already been checked out by the medics, and there were already folks on hand to get him home safely. So we all had a bit of fun with him and then got to remind him about it afterwards, of which he had absolutely no recollection, and that too is part of the fun. But it all goes back to the fact that we all knew he was going to be fine, so a bit of good-natured fun with the Forrest Gump replica did no real harm. But this goes far, far beyond a bit of good-natured ribbing between friends. You've been this guy's personal mechanic for years and he's never lifted a finger to reciprocate. That's a major red flag right there. You've invested countless hours, and dollars (grease, cleaners, and such aren't free), into his machinery and he's not once returned the favor in any respect. I know if I were the guy getting my bike worked on, I'd be uncomfortable with that situation because I'd feel like I was using that friend for free labor on my bike. That's not how friends treat one another. Yet it doesn't seem to bother him in the least. I heard a saying once, "Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by ignorance." The concussion incident might fit that criterion. The guy just might be an idiot and didn't realize how serious your concussion really was and how you shouldn't have been driving as a result. But that doesn't explain his behavior the rest of the time. I think the one-sided nature of your "friendship" is one you can probably do without. [/QUOTE]
