But I figure it was mostly because when he said, "I'll do it after I defeat this boss on WoW," instead on saying, "No, you'll do it now," I said, "Okay, after you defeat the boss, bring down the litter and you can go back to whatever quest you're on."
Having never met your brother, I can say without a doubt that it probably is why he helped you. I am a lazy fucker, I will not even try to deny it. When I lived with my parents, my sister could make me do things around the house when my parents couldn't, because she wouldn't ORDER me to, she would ask, suggest.
Now I live with my sister and drive her nuts because I don't help around the house. But she has apparently forgotten what it takes to make me do things which is to ASK NICELY and SUGGEST and not DEMAND thing of me. Nothing makes me dig my heels in faster than her coming into my room and saying "We have to take the garbage out, get up" instead of "Next time you get a chance, it's our night to take out the garbage".
I once made her Very Angry because on Thanksgiving, without being asked, I cleared the table, did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen at my mom's house. She and her boyfriend were in a whirlwind of WHY DID SHE DO IT? WHAT'S HER ANGLE? and my parents were convinced I did it just to piss her off. (only true in hindsight, i just did it to do it at the time)
