    Neighbour asked me to drop him to the garage to collect his car and I wouldn't normally mind if someone needed a favour but I had other things on.

    I did give him a lift but I was going out of my way.

    Do you accommodate people and their annoying favours?

    the trick is to favour back at the time
    so while transporting him explain about the help you need digging a new channell tunnel to hollyhead

    Tell him to start digging at the other end and you'll get the job done a lot quicker. Anything to get out of that shíthole.

    Such a question cannot be easily answered :P

    (1) If you are friends/get on with someone you do them a favor. It's the right thing to do.
    (2) you should always do favors for your family. Expect no return favor. Blood is thicker than water. (of course if you got some messed up family well you can throw that out the window :P )
    (3) In life, we all have to do favors that we wouldn't normally do. As by helping that person we are really helping ourselves. Keeping a person sweet as they say.
    (4) But I do not believe in doing someone a favor when I don't have to. It's nice to be nice. But don't like getting used.

    1. Correct but once they don't take advantage.
    2. Correct but not all family members deserve it, depending on family.
    3. Correct, I've helped and been helped by strangers during the bad snow a couple of years ago.
    4. I suppose it all boils down to be whether or not the person is taking advantage or not.

    It can be annoying though.

    What's the harm in helping someone out?

    I've picked randomers up who looked like they were lost or struggling shopping so if a neighbour asked for a lift of oblige no bother.

    No harm in helping someone out, I've often needed help myself but there comes time when someone asks when, You just don't have the time or when that person doesn't deserve a favour (some neighbours included).

    I do favours for people that don't ask for them.

    The one that ask for them generally don't need them.

    I think you may be confusing the difference between 'doing a good deed' (towards a stranger) and 'doing a favour' (in this case which is towards someone you personally know)

    If it was going to be an inconvenience then why did you agree to do it?
