My parents are very mad at me

It's ok to feel inconvenienced by your parents. Like when they click on the pop-up that says, "You have a virus. Click here to install malware". The one they've clicked before that you've told them not to click but they did anyway. Again. And you spend a bunch of time cleaning it off. Again. Then you buy them a Mac and they somehow manage to fuck that up too.
But you never tell them you feel inconvenienced. Unless you hate them.

Well, from a parent's perspective, we've been inconvenienced by the kids for going on 18 years now. Do we complain about it to them? No, they are our kids and we love them and we do the inconvenient stuff out of love. If one of my kids did to me what the OP did you better believe I'd be pissed. I don't know what OP's home life was like so I won't comment on if he was right or wrong, I can only tell you how I would feel in my own situation.
That being said, my kids have always helped out. I think it comes down to how you are raised, kids need to be taught gratitude, it's not some ingrained thing we all know from birth or anything. It has to be parented into you.
My parents were saints. One time I locked my keys in the car with it running - because I'm an idiot. I'm sure they were rolling their eyes the whole way, but they drove over and got it open for me.
Locked myself out of my own house too. Mom to the rescue. If my dogs had thumbs they could have saved her the trip.

My outlook on parent stuff:
As long as they aren't abusing you or the people around them in any way..
Like.. They birthed your ass. And kept you from dying when you were a dumb baby. Love them unconditionally

Its the last person you should feel ashamed for crying in front of.

This is funny to me. If my old man called for help and I said it wasn't convenient, I'd have to get police protection. One time when I was about 13 I acted wrong and called my mum a dumb bitch. My old man hit me so fast my nose was broken before I finished. He apologized but it was my fault. I insulted my mum and I insulted his woman in front of him. That was never going to turn out well. Anyway op is lucky he has understanding parents.
