What was the last favor you asked of someone?

To babysit while they went to Vegas was the last big favor. But it was a joy. I don't keep track of the small, easy things.

The last small favor I asked was for my dad to toss my bathrobe to the top of the stairs. The last big favor was for someone to make & print out place cards for my graduation announcements.

I was in a car accident last week and asked a friend of mine to pick up my kids from school, and keep them while I was at the hospital. She did, of course - she's my friend :-)

I think it was for a ride to the mechanic to pick up my car. I really hate asking for favors.

The last major favor I asked of someone is for a nickel, so I could go to the vending machine to get a soda...so I could maked it through the rest of the day...and, of course, I paid said person back the next day.

I asked if I could come in a few minutes late to work yesterday so I could get to a doctor's appointment.

The last favor I asked was a friend for some money and I was told yes but then I didn't need to get it and I was glad that things worked out that way.

I asked my wife to get me some more iced tea when we were eating dinner, but that doesn't really count. I guess the last big favor was when I asked a friend to be my audio/video guy at my wedding. He wasn't in the wedding, which I already felt bad for, but I needed someone I could trust to run some music and use the camera.

Last week I asked some chat room friends for recipes to deal with an unexpected pound of feta cheese. I received several excellent ideas, including a feta cheese salad dressing which I will make and gift some back to the original donor.

Right now I'm trying to call in favors to get my first Jeep, which we bought back, into great condition again. I'm trying to find people who do good body work to get rid of the rust, and I'm trying to get replacements for broken trim pieces, and I even found an original window crank--I was missing one of those even when I first had the Jeep!

I asked a fellow teacher to take my class to the buses because there was another student I had to deal with privately.

I asked a friend to attend a convention with me, as my original companion had a family emergency and I didn't want to make the drive by myself. She accepted and we had a good time.

Eeech. I ask my son to do favors for me all the time. Probably for him to get me my purse.

I asked my sister to pick up my son after school. But I am always asking my sister to help me out. I work an hour from home and don't get home til 6:00 or 6:30. So if My husband can't get our kids there. MY sister is always there to help out. She's the best!
