'If you weren’t selfish, you’d offer it as a kindness': Entitled nurse lashes out after being denied access to her friend's private cabin for free

As Phoebe Buffay once said, "Oh, my G-d. Joey's right! There are no selfless good deeds!" So, is it possible that Joey Tribbiani has made a revolutionary discovery that has been sitting right under our noses?

From as early as we can remember, it has been ingrained into our memory: don't do something in order to receive something in return.

However, as much as we'd like to believe that every action is done out of pure selflessness and as a product of giving back to the world, is it simply human nature to expect groundbreaking rewards for our good deeds?

When we help a friend move houses, not only are we giving them a helping hand, but we are strengthening a friendship that will further benefit our lives. When we give charity, not only are we helping those who need it most, but we are building a sense of self-pride within ourselves. Although, we do believe that there is a point where certain individuals have created an unrealistic list of expectations from others. A list created out of self-entitlement, calling for someone to strike a large line through that list and rip the page out of their little, brown book of 'you owe me's.'

When a healthcare worker expects to use her friend's sister's cabin, on her timeline, for a little weekend away, she is left angry after being told that it is unavailable. She expects to have access to the private cabin simply because she is a nurse and her job is tiring. Is this an example of having unrealistic expectations of others simply because you have a philanthropic and compassionate job, therefore expecting rewards from strangers?
