A friend of mine was in need of a ride to work the other day. He wasn't supposed to go into work that day but his manager had called him in. Unfortunately, his car needed some work done and he decided to have it worked on that day because it was his off day. As a result, he needed a ride and called for a ride. If I hadn't been busy at the time and had more of a heads up, it wouldn't have been a real issue, but I was actually pretty busy at the time. he offered money to compensate for the inconvenience, but I told him to keep it. Instead, I told him I'd do it as long as he agreed to be there for me if I ever needed a ride. Who knows what may happen in the future? It's not unlikely that I will at some point in time need a ride somewhere at the last minute just like him. So as long as he is willing to be there for me, despite short notice and being busy, I can also be there for him. This is an example of me doing something prosocial for reciprocation.
