    I’ve done this before to family members who want lifts on my day off. “Yeah sure. I’ve had a few pints but if you don’t mind then I don’t. Oh ok, no worries then, catch you soon.”

      The fucking worst trap in the world is:

      What are you up to today?

      on the morning someone needs a favor. Fuck right off.

      I always answer with something like “working on something that might take a little while or might take a long time, but I don’t know yet”.

      But this game-playing is beneath me—or I would like for it to be—so I invite suggestions.

        Haha. They know what they are doing. I assume that if someone won’t say outright what they are proposing it’s because they suspect I won’t want to do it or else they are simply bored and want me to amuse them. I feel incredibly cynical but am usually right unfortunately.
