Can you do me a favour?

[ACYork]

Does that question really annoy the tulip out of anyone else? 1. If I were to answer the question, I wouldn't know what I was agreeing to do.
"Can you do me a favour?"
"Sure"
"Great, I need someone to be publically fladulated for a mistake I made. If you'd like to just step into the stocks, we'll begin".
2. It's unlikely to be a favour, it's likely to be part of my job.
3. Have you ever tried answering with a simple "Nope!"? People invariably ask you to do whatever it was they were going to ask next anyway.

Ok, pointless rant over....

Have you considered adding the word "maybe" to your vocabulary?

Maybe I have, maybe I haven't...

Say "yes". Then when they start to tell you what they want, say "wait, did you mean will I do you a favour?".

"What's the favour?" always works for me.

So you've read "Men are From Mars, Women are from Venus", I bet that was ******* confusing for you!

Sorry I'm late in responding. I've been with my imaginary wife collecting my imaginary child from the imaginary nursery.

It's a good job the nursery is imaginary too, you'd get in trouble hanging around a real one with no child enrolled.

...and removing "fladulated" which isn't a word, even.

I read your book.
