: What is: Biting the hand that feeds you?

: It can be a show of ingratitude or meanness towards a kind act such as hiring someone who is down and out on their luck and that person turns around and burgles your home. It could also be what most teenagers do when they get mad and make themselves miserable by not cooperating with their parents.
