Golden Rules?

Maybe I'm just naive, but sometimes I find it difficult to comprehend why some people treat others with little respect.

A couple of minor incidents recently where I haven't been shown any respect. Surely we should do unto others....

A quick question, though.  If you waste my time, mess me around and exploit my energy, do you really think I'd be prepared to offer assistance in the future? Do you really consider me to be that stupid?
