Do not be nice - do not be anybody's fool.

I should not be nice.

There are several reasons, why I should not be nice to other people. First of all, I should have learnt my lessons.

The last situation, in which I realized that it is not good to be nice, was during a wonderful dinner with an even more amazingly handsome young lady: We were sitting there talking and eating and then this waiter came and asked me whether I would have a second for him. I said yes and he went. The lady then taught me a lesson (of course, her English was much better and more colloquial, but I cannot copy that - if she ever reads this, she may correct me):
She: "Do you know, waht he wants"
Me: "Probably, money."
She: "How do you know?"
Me: "Ugandans always ask me for favours, money and so on."
She: "And you give?"
Me: "Not always, but mostly."
Then she called him and asked him, what he wanted - sad story but it boiled down, that he wanted money. She taught him a lesson first and then me. You probably guess, that I was not supposed to give him anything unless he did his job extraordinally well. A point of view, which I obviously shared because I am a member of the German liberal party... Or shall I say, I should share. I do not know, but I always feel bad, when I am asked for "favours".

To sum it up:
I paid half of the driver's licence for a night guard - without ever seen his licence. Besides, I know that I paid more than you have to spend for a driver's licence...
I paid the term school fee for another night guard - knowing that the papers he showed me, are not proving anything he told me...
I could continue, but then I might also sum up what I spend...waisted (?). Whatever.

There is also this fellow student, who once told me to be less nice to everybody followed by the saying: "Everybody's darling is anybody's fool."
