Why do people who know you don't like them ask for favors??

my mean coworker who reported me to my supervisor cause I'm tooo happy at work, . just ask me if I could get her church a discount on some stained glass (my hubby builds stained glass) was I wrong to tell her that she was out of place to ask me for a favor concidering our past differences?

    She has B A L L S!Ever hear the term "beggars cant be choosers"? She obviously has no shame to ask you for a favor. And no, you were not wrong to tell her she is out of place. Those who ask for favors, should be in the position to either have done a favor for you OR can help you in the future. So you obviously have nothing to gain by helping her.

    what goes around comes around is what i say. she reported u for being too happy?? lol sounds like she is jealous ur life is positive. i hope u didnt get reprimanded. i wouldve laughed in her face if she asked me for a discount, i wouldve been like " i should do u a favor after u reported me?" hahahahahah good one! u were so in the right.

    Personally I would have probably helped her out but would have made it clear I was not doing the favour for her but for her church. In other words, don't ask for personal favours because they will not be forthcoming.

    She reported you...because you were too happy?? What kind of logic is that?

    No I don't think you were. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do.

    Plus, would she do something for you if you asked it of her?
