Been punished for any good deeds lately?

Yesterday evening a lamb got caught in the fence in a field in front of our house. Not my lamb, not my fence, but <sigh> my responsibility, once I’d seen it. Shepherd wouldn't be around until the next day.

I had to crawl under some barbed wire, practically in the dirt, to retrieve it (fortunately they go limp once you grab them).

Afterwards, realised I’d set my elbow down in some nettles.

OUCH.

No good deed goes unpunished, etc.

Any examples for you?

Was it tasty?

I was expecting your story to end with a farmer's shotgun, or at least a serious barbed-wire injury.
Nettles??

It may have been humble nettles, but it felt like, I dunno, necrotizing fasciitis.

Sheep... Horrible things.

They definitely didn’t come across well in this documetary I saw
