I worked in an office where I was one man among 10 women. Half my week I would work from my downtown office and the other half I would work at the casino. I compete in Powerlifting as a hobby. They would intentionally put off all their lifting and moving of office furniture for the days I'd be at the casino. It wasn't even shit they couldn't move...it was just easier for them to ask me to do it for them. Shit got old fast especially considering that my dress attire was a fucking suit.

I actually had a friend tell me that he never asks me for help because I never ask anyone else for help.

And he feels bad asking me because of that.

It's just the way I am. If I have a job to do, I'll always try to figure out a way to get the job done on my own. I always feel like I'd be inconveniencing someone else by asking for help.

However, I never have a problem helping out when asked. At least most of the time.

The only time I start to draw the line is when it comes to automobile work. If they need a hand or a tool, that's one thing. If they want me to do the job while they sit back and watch, nope. I'm not going down that path.

Last thing I need is a family member or friend constantly coming back because something doesn't "feel right" after I do the work.

I'm not a licensed mechanic with shop hours. I do it to my cars because I enjoy wrenching as a hobby and it's saved me tons of money over the years. But that's not an open invitation for me to spend my limited free time wrenching on other people's cars.
