He doesn't acknowledge that his friends all have jobs and matters to attend to as well and that asking them to drive him is a relatively big favor to ask for.

* RoommateDrama: Leonard doesn't want to follow the strict rules of Sheldon's Roommate Agreement anymore, so Sheldon makes him sign a clause that nullifies their friendship. The Agreement is restored by the end of the episode, after Leonard tells Sheldon that he would be happy to help him, but at least wants some recognition and a "thank you" for everything he does for him.

Raj whispers they have pretty good meatballs, but when SHeldon asks what he said, ready to jump at the chance to accept anything as an agreement, Raj quickly says he didn't say anything, avoiding helping Sheldon.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: When Leonard does not want to follow the Roommate Agreement anymore, Sheldon has him sign a clause that disbands their "friendship", thinking that Amy will do whatever he wants for him because she is his girlfriend. When she says no because she is busy, he offers his other friends, who he has been rude and disrespectful to for years, a chance to help him with nothing in return but a footnote in his memoir. He quickly finds himself with nobody willing to help him with his errands and no way of doing them all himself.
