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.
