how much is too much?
 

ok, so i have a really importaint exam coming up in 10 days, but in order for me to be able to take the exam, i have to do some practical excercises first ( since i don't know the english terminology, let's say it's something along the lines of writting an indictment and some other criminal procedural requests ). now, since i didn't really attend the classes when it was solved by the teacher and i knew my friend did, i figured that when the time came i would ask her for it. so the time came ( i admit , it was on short notice ) and i called her up and asked her if she still has the excercises, she says she has one part on the computer....then she sips through her notebook and says oh, i guess i have the other part too, but i can definetly send you the stuff i have on the computer. and of course, judging by the tone of her voice and her evasive manouvers, i take the hint and don't ask her to write up the other half and send it to me too......now, i told her, it's really importaint, without it i can't take the exam, she has the excercises solved and i have no clue how to do it, yet she didn't see it fit to offer to do me that extra little favour and i really....REALLY hate asking favours, especially from her, because she always does it with an attitude....like it's really a bother....

now, how much is asking too much from a friend? she is taking the exam too ( she doesn't need to do those ex. ), but it would take her no more than 30 minutes to do it.....( and by the way, she still hasn't sent me the stuff that she has on the computer and i hate to remind her ....AGAIN! she's done that countless times before, but she's the only one i can ask...sadly....this is where being a social recluse comes back to bite you on the ass)

i say your in the right, keep asking. yeh so you didnt do the work and your bieng poxy enough to take it off a friend. oh well. if she wont give it to you, or if she does and its with an attitude... just proves who your true friends are.

no, i'm not going to ask her for anything, especially that extra little bit....even if i don't take the exam....i'd rather die than beg....

fair enough then.

id type it up if a friend asked.

yeah, but asking her would have been too much no? if it was me, i would have offered to type it up without her having to ask.....but that's just me....

yeah that was my point before. if she was any sort of friend like you...she would do the same thing.

If one thing in life is true, then it's the old saying..."if you don't ask, you don't get".

Be hard faced and ask, then get her something as a thank-you...she will be more helpful after that.

What were you trying to ask her to do for you? I'm a bit confused, were you asking her to do the exercises for you? If it only takes her 30 minutes, it can't possibly take you ten times longer to do it on your own. If anything, you should have her take the EXAM for you. ;) Lazy bastard.
