I think you're confusing friendship with acquaintances; a man is lucky to have one real friend in his life, two is almost unheard of, three is impossible. Acquaintences just multiply like rabbits

What I would do in that case is just like you said: fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...Next time they ask for help just say "I have two words. One is 'off,' the other begins with 'F.'"

When you are the one who is looked to, to maintain things, it's embarrassing for folks to see you broke down. Especially in a small town, where every other car stops and knows you and wants to help.

Gotta stop that thinking, man, I'm sure they're not looking down on your for breaking down, they're glad for the opportunity to repay past favors. And if not, they suck, and f*** 'em.
