I laughed and said if they needed help tomorrow I would be happy to work for my usual fee of $20/bike.

I'm not bitter or anything, why do you ask?

I'm not a monkey that dances for coins, if you want to see art go to a museum.

I may have some lasting issues stemming from uncomfortable situations like this that have made me no longer care if people are put off by my reaction when I'm put on the spot. You want to see it? Ask me privately, and I'll show you one on one if you actually care.

No, I'm not bitter about things from my childhood, why do you ask...
