That's funny... you made me think about it. And, I have realized, I don't ask people for favors. Not ever.

That depends on the favor and the person I'm asking for it. If it's something really big, then yes, I feel obligated to give back in some way. If it's something small, then no, although I'm okay with the other person asking me for favors if they feel like it.
On the other hand, I feel that some things are just too big and would never ask anyone for. One thing is to borrow someone else's car. I've been asked for the loan of my car and wouldn't loan it, because I felt that was asking too much of me. I would never ask anyone for the loan of their car, or their house, or anything really big like that.

yes, unless its a case of i have done favors for this person before, in that case i would feel it just balances the scale out
not that i keep exact records, but there must be equality in these type things, which is why i would feel obligated, if i hadnt done a past favor

Part of being generous is allowing others to be.
