If you wanted someone, who already does lots of favors for you, to do you another favor, would you call and say..."I need a favor, so call me back" or would you tell them what you needed since you were leaving a message anyway? :confused:

It depends.

It depends.On what? :D

How complex is the explanation of the favor?

How complex is the explanation of the favor?

She never asks for any complex favors; just ongoing, time consuming stuff, like run to the store for me, give me a ride, take care of my dog, bring me some Chinese food, and etc. She doesn't have a car.

I just don't like to be caught off guard and put on the spot. I didnt call back this time. I'm too tired.

As stated, it depends on what you're asking for.

If it's to help pull your car out of a ditch and you need his 4x4 you'd tell him as it was urgent.

If it was to move you might tell him the date you need some help but not all the details.

If you're a swinger and you want to nail his wife while he nails yours you'd probably want him to call you back so you wouldn't ruin the surprise by spilling the beans all at once.

Oh, I thought you were contemplating asking a favor of someone else. Yeah, I don't blame you for not calling back. do they have some emotional string they know how to pull?

So...I was just wondering if some people might hold off on asking for the favor because its harder to say "no" when you're actually talking to them that moment.

I wouldn't ask in the first place.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.

Teach a man to fish and you'll find him drunk in a boat asking you to get him some chinese food.

I would simply say" You've done so much and I hate to ask, Can you please call me back ? I need more help"

You're such a great person. I'm sure you'd never want anything in return for your precious time.

I don't want nor do I need anything in return from her. If I needed someone to do something for me, I wouldn't have any problem telling them exactly what I needed on their voice mail.

Yeah, I would just tell them what I needed. If it was very important/sensitive info, I would get that point across as to why I didn't want to divulge on an answering machine. If it was just "I need a favor, call me back.", I don't blame you at all. I wouldn't want to call them back either.

Its my private voice mail. She knows that I am the only one who would ever hear what she said, so theres no reason why she cant elaborate. I feel that in order to have respect for my personal time, it would be nice to know what kind of time frame I'm looking at in order to help her, and make it easier for me to fit whatever she needs into my schedule.

If thats the way you feel, then why don't you simply move on to another thread? You've been acting like a jerk ever since I beat your *** in Pool Jam. Grow up.

Thuth is... I gave 2 negs to pay you back for the 8 you gave me. Not that I care like you do, you lousy drunk.

Pool Jam??????!!!! Hahahahahhahaa!!!

And no sweetheart you negged me twice with bitter old comments before I did anything.

Truth is I've never seen a thread around here where you did anything but talk about you. Well guess what, It aint all about YOU!

I can't stand your fake *** and your fake *** persona. You might be a nice lady but you are not on here. That's how I feel. let me also say I've been a total dhead on these forums too so it takes one to know one.

Peace.

BS. Are you still bitter at me because you got banned on slicks? You would have to really cross the line to get banned on that site. :D

I have nothing more to say to you and most of us know all about your huge drinking and lying problem. Get help.

I was young and I didn't care. That usually equals a ban.

Worry about yourself first and then help someone else out. Obviously this is stress on you so I would tell this person look I am tired your gonna have to ask someone else. Otherwise they are taking advantage of you and the relationship is lop sided.

So if you already knew that, why'd you need to ask us? She obviously wants to manipulate you and you obviously want us to think you're a nice person for helping out some needy, annoying chick. It all seems pretty straightforward to me. :)

I got a Pepsi big wig neighbor who was always giving me cases and cases of AMP and Rockstar that I would take to work. I told him I liked Diet Dr. Pepper and he started bringing me cases of that. I soon realized Pepsi distributes Gatorade and asked him for as much as he could get. No problem....

I have a friend that fits in the bolded description. He doesn't mind asking anyone for the most absurd favors, because he would gladly return them. The problem is that no one in my group of friends ever needs a favor from him. He is the nicest guy in the world, but somehow manages to be the most selfish guy at the same time.

I'm not sure if that fits in this thread.

there's your excuse right there. "No, my family needs me" and if she asks "what for" just say "now why on earth would you ask me that?"

You seem bitter.

I said it was a seemingly unprovoked attack, because it certainly seemed that way. You escalated rapidly in comparison to the reaction that you got. I'm sure there was some secret legitimate reason for your overreaction to a thread that had nothing to do with you, but it certainly did not come across.
