Absolutely getting your point here @azircon. But the "free" part is literally the focal point of my post here as you can understand.

And the worse part is in our society they'd guilt you; and even gaslight you to make you feel like it's your fault that you're not giving in with their "very normal" requests. And the worst part is, most of us end up complying with them as we don't want any trouble or to step down from the "good guy" image.
