@Daojoan thanks for this great read, you should paywall it ;)

I always get blank stares when i do stuff for people, help them move, fix their bike, lend them something, build them something, and when they ask what to pay me or do/give back, i just say no. Not everything has to be quid pro quo -voor wat hoort wat in dutch-, but very few people understand this.
