Consideration and Hypocrisy are really long-lost brothers

Considerate people are awesome! They hold the lift door for you, give way on the road, give you their food, give you their money, they'd give you their skins if you acted a bit fragile and asked really politely.

Wait what?

No seriously. Considerate people aren't necessarily a good thing. What if everyone in the world were ALL considerate?

Scenario 1

Considerate Man 1: Please do have this seat.
Considerate Man 2: Nonono, it's alright, you go ahead.
CM1: Nah don't you worry about me, take a seat!
CM2: No YOU don't worry about ME, YOU take a seat!
CM1: YOU!
CM2:YOU!
CM1:YOU!
CM2:(F___) YOU!

It'd actually be rather amusing. :)

Now consider hypocrites. Put them beside considerate people (For the purposes of this post we shall just call them "Considerates"), and most of you would say something like "Hey these guys are on the opposite end of the spectrum!". Now, are they really?

Scenario 2

Random Guy: Hey do you mind lending me $10?
H: (No chance in hell, biyatch) Sure thing :)
RG: Thanks!
H: You owe me one, brother! (Douchebag, can't believe I just gave him $10)

Also rather amusing, right? :D

Different attitudes, but what they did was essentially the same: They'd give you what you want from them, especially if you ask nicely.

Ahhh don't you just love family reunions.
