      Don’t encourage the behaviour. As the saying goes… Give a man a fish and you’ve fed him for a day… Teach a man to fish and you’ve fed him for life.

        Or to quote Terry Pratchett:

        Give a man a fire and he’ll be warm for a day; set a man on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.

        Fool me once, shame on me, but teach a man to fool me and I’ll be fooled for the rest of my life.
