Coworker refuses to give guy $1 for the office vending machine after guy spent thousands driving them to work for 2 years: 'I’ve probably spent well over $1,500 in gas over the past 2 years for [them]''

Favors need reciprocation, never in complete equity, as no two exchanges or circumstances are going to be the same. But in spirit. It's not even about the act of the reciprocation either, it's more about the fact that you are capable of thinking of others outside of yourself, recognizing the things they have done for you, experiencing the gratitude and mirroring it back. It sounds complicated but it's actually really simple if you remain open and aware of the things other people are going out of their way to do for you.

But don't expect everyone to understand this, there are many out there who will take the favor without ever thinking, and this extends to all forms of giving and reciprocation in relationships. If you've ever been locked into a relationship with someone who is completely incapable of reciprocating you'll know exactly what this is like.
