People who call me when they want a favor I wish people would be true when they call me asking for a favor. You know, If I want a favor from someone, I'll call that person and say directly: "Hey, man, can you do me a favor?". But there are people that play a true theater role before asking for the favor: they ask you how you're doing, then they try to invite you to hang out some time...(but you know that such a hang out is not going to happen...). Then they ask you what are the things that you've been doing lately and THEN COMES THE MAGIC QUESTION: "CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR?". And it's incredible: I know when a person calls me with such a goal. There are those who I consider the suspicious ones. Truth is that now I have to read and article that this person has sent to me... and I am the one to make the corrections. *Sigh*

Completely agree with you Thiago. Honesty is the best policy. Those people are really annoying. And they make you feel uncomfortable if you want to say "NO" to them you don't feel comfortable doing it.
