But that won't be good enough either, because A's up the ante where you're expected to give more and more. Asking an A for more than the bare minimum is insulting to them. A's will suck you dry, they are vampires to good souls.

I rarely got apologies from my AH. Mostly BS ones where basically he blamed me for (however ridiculous) his mistreatment of me. My AH eventually kept telling me that I should expect him to screw up, that it's gonna happen, and that I shouldn't have to get on his case about it every single time because no one is perfect.
