This may be my favorite thing ever. Thank you for the great link!

I’m with just about everyone else on this one. I’m generally a soft touch, but in this case, the contempt for you on top of the hypocrisy on top of the cowardice (letting you know through your **mother**?) is just too much to take. You aren’t even refusing to help - you’re simply not taking the initiative to offer charity to people who have made it abundantly clear that you’re beneath them!
