This is great advice on favor protocol--and all so basic that it gets overlooked. I've committed many of these faux pas requests in my salad days and have been on the receiving end of others in the ensuing years. Might I suggest another option when it comes to requesting favors? I hear Don Corleone's daughter is getting married this weekend. Maybe you can make an appointment with him that day.......

If you could have seen me nodding throughout the reading of this piece...I may have to quote you (despite the paywall!).
No paywall! :)
Thank you!
