I had a "friend" trying to get a handyman business going. He'd invite himself over and talk for hours, then tell me what a great conversation we'd had. I may have been able to say two or three things the whole time. He thought he was charming me. I did feel sorry for him so I kept trying to find thing for him to do. I let him cut our grass for a high price while we were gone and he asked for an extra $200 in case the lawnmower or something else broke. Okay, but Instead of giving me back the $200, he said he'd work more hours when we got back. The next time he didn't pay me back I ask for it and he got extremely angry. He was just using me so I fired him and broke off the friendship.
