For the purpose of this exercise, the person is a good friend.
Chat encouraged, my friend is currently giving me beeves for saying “depends what the favour is!”
Say yes and then ask what the favour is.

Depends who asks
#ifanythingimtoonice
For this I’d say a good friend; not a casual acquaintance but nor a partner or family member or best friend who you might more readily supply a blanket ‘yes’ to
Don’t think I’ve ever said yes off the bat, or met anyone who would expect you to do the favour without prior knowledge.
Hey @zxcvbnm2 can you do me a favour??
I don’t think you’re locked in if you say yes. You can say yes, find out what it is and then say no.

Notably thinking of when I offered to move a ‘few bits’ of a friends stuff from halls after they’d gone back home. Was 5 car loads of stuff including a huge box of toilet rolls. Had to store that in my own fucking house
So really it’s a question of authenticity and integrity because I’d sooner the suspense of delaying to say yes than the fraudulence of saying yes knowing full well I might not do it
someone is irked when you say “depends what it is”

My friends wouldn’t ask anything I wouldn’t be willing to do
I think this is a key point and one I had overlooked
It’s always touching their willy, isn’t it.
Even when people don’t say “it depends what it is” it clearly obviously always “depends what it is” . You may as well be enforcing “bagsies”
Usually just say no for the bants
“Nah, busy”
I think this subtext had eluded me, learning a lot
