"she is of the opinion that most Jamaicans do this"
All Jamaicans I know is of this opinion that most of us do this :-). When this is posted on a FB with mostly Jamaicans, the discussion last 3 seconds with yep wi beg too raatid much. I am Jamaican and I do have the tendency to beg but it seems out of habit. Begging for something can roll off my tongue like butter and bacon off some Americans lips. I am really immune to the begging from others but more bothered by the darn selfishness. There are exceptions but for the most part no one calls to see how you are doing and to say thank you, but they can post on FB. The only way to get something from some is to ask/beg. Begging for upgrade is my speciality, even when the vacation is free.
How to stop the beg from with BS compliments and your own problems

As for friends I NEED 3. I to tell my secrets, one to borrow money from in case of emergency, and one to get my butt out of jail if I get busted for something I did not do but the po-po thinks otherwise. These three can changes so now I might be begging a friend to fill these positions.
