A Good Deed Gone Bad

The other day one of our club members was playing in our local gaming store when he noticed a young guy really interested in a Space Marine Tactical Squad. The young guy couldn't afford to buy them so our good natured club member made him a deal. He'd buy them for him to keep on two conditions.

The first was that the young guy had to assemble them and paint them up the best he could. Secondly he had to come along to our club for a game or two try them out. So really it was a pretty sweet deal. The kid was really happy and went away to show his dad who was waiting outside.

However not long after in storms the kids dad who was pretty annoyed at this kind gesture and angry at our club member. Telling him he's got a nerve and to get stuffed amongst other things and storms off with his kid in tow. Needless to say our club member was speechless as were the others in the store.

Some people are so ungrateful and hearing this really annoyed me. In this day and age it's nice to know that there are those good natured people out there though. Too bad some people to take it and says something about the society we live in.
