Pet hate
If there's only thing in life I hate, it's being taken for granted.
I like to think that I'm a reasonably helpful person, especially considering the fact that I don't consider myself to be an overly nice person. I try to help people where I can and don't say no to requests unless I have good reason (I'm not always good at explaining that reason, but I always have one!)
But it really bugs me when people just assume I'll do something for them without asking me first.
It doesn't matter if I've done it before. It doesn't matter if it causes me no trouble. It doesn't matter if I'll obviously say yes. Just please, be polite and respectful enough to ask.
I don't need a big explanation or OTT begging or anything like that. Just a short, to the point question. Anything.
Because assuming I will do something without asking just makes me want to say no.
