When someone asks
for a favor, do you take into consideration if they would ever do a favor for you or if they have ever screwed you over before in the recent past? Or do you just do the favor no matter what if you are able to?
Not really.
I'm not one to keep score.
I decide if I can do it or not based on my schedule and free time, etc.

If someone has screwed me over we probably aren’t friends so I would decide based on time and if it’s something I can do.
When asked to do a favor, I consider a few things:
1. Am I able to do it with not too much inconvenience to me?
2. Are they asking to borrow money? Unless I am ok with never getting it back, I won't lend it.
3.If I've done for you many times and you've never done for me, the next time you ask for a favor, I'm going to say, "I'm sorry. When I ask you for help, you never do. Please ask someone else."
For the most part, if I do you a favor, I don't care if I'm ever repaid. But if I'm constantly doing you favors and you have never agreed to do one for me, I'm going to cut you off from the Favor Bank.
ETA: If you've screwed me over with money, I will never lend you another dime.

I am very quick to jump in and do any favour for anyone who asks. While this is a good character trait, it is also my weakness.

No. I just did a favor for someone I don't know at the request of someone I barely know. I'm sure I'll never get repaid but It didn't matter. It depends on what the need is. Now if you take advantage then I'm going to bounce or if you ask for money the answer is no. Otherwise I don't think about it.

No. The only two things I take into consideration is 1) how much would it inconvenience me to do the favor, and 2) in proportion to the degree of inconvenience, do I care about this person that much. I never expect to get repaid for a favor.
