It becomes my job when someone asks... until that moment, I have no responsibility for their outcome. Afterward, I will inevitably have an impact, one way or another. So I'm similarly careful about asking for things from others, myself, not wanting to lay that burden on them unnecessarily.
And this would be where you get into trouble, no? =)
(nods) when my carefully-considered, rationed request is blithely blown off by the other person as being of no consequence, yes, that gets to be annoying...
