Piggyback Favoring

[cjsmith]

A definition from the wise and thought-ful melanie

Piggyback Favoring: where a person first asks you for a very small, simple favor, and then as you go to do it, it subtly grows and grows and grows one tiny little increment at a time until it becomes a HUGE FUCKING DEAL, and then you're an asshole if you stop when you realize what is happening and back away.

Good one! I love having a short, handy name for this all-too-prevalent pattern.
