On the less wholesome end of the spectrum, some characters might use this as an excuse to fuss over someone or have them lower their guard for malicious purposes.

Description:
When someone does something nice for you, it's only polite to thank them. Some characters, however, take it to the extreme and can't stop thanking their benefactor. Reminding them of their good deed at every turn and even wanting to repay them somehow.
Frequently, the good deed is really just that big of a deal, such as saving someone's life or getting rid of a tyrant. It also can happen that, for the GoodSamaritan, it was only a small, inconsequential act of kindness, while for the assisted person, it greatly improved their life.
