When we ask someone to do something for us, what level of completion do we expect? Of course, we all expect the job to be done, but how well? If we did it ourselves, we'd go the extra mile and make it perfect, but if someone else does it they might simply do the bare minimum. Is that fair or should we expect more, and is that expectation unrealistic or not?
Let's continue the discussion through Sunday.

Yay, first comment (:
Anyways, when it's something simple like asking them to put your book in your locker for you, yeah, it's not that much work. But for something like asking of an opinion, you might want to be careful there. They just may be telling you to do something wrong so they look better than you. As for something else like homework, you can't fully trust that they got the question right either. Of course we all need help every now and then, and asking for something simple is not too unrealistic. However, if you ask too much for the same thing or for something very big, yeah, you can't expect a great outcome unless it's from someone you trust.
In my own opinion, if one were to ask someone to do something, whither it be minor or large, has an obligation to accomplish it. It is optional to the askee, but in general one would most likely attempt to accomplish what has been asked of them. The person being asked should go the extra mile to help their friend in this case.
well im pretty sure that if anyone asks someone to do something, they will only get the bare minimum result because, after all, if you put yourself in the reverse position and YOU are the person who is asked to do something, you want to follow through, but might be busy.
After all, if you want something done right, just do it yourself.
I think you can only expect someone to do something at the best of their ability. if we ask a friend to do something, and they tried their best to do it, how can they be blamed. if you really want something done perfectly, why would u rely on a favor from a friend anyway. do it yourself
In my own opinion, if i were to ask someone to do something for me, i would hopefully expect the absolute perfectness. No matter how big or small the demand is. I dont expect this usually, but i would hope it will be the highest level of completion. No i dont think it is fair that we should expect more from what they cannot accomplish. You can hopefully expect the outcome to be awesome. Expectation is unrealistic i think, becuase no one usually does it.
it is realistic, but yet it depends on the person. some people are kind enough to go the extra mile for u but usually u should do it for yourself for it to be perfect
i think if we want something done and done right that we need to do it our selves ti get it 100% right. if i had to get something done that is extrmely important i would definatly do it my self but if its a minor thing that i could not do then i yeh i would ask someone to do it for me
Again, if u want something done right, do it urself
If i ask someone to do something for me, I usually expect them to do it the way that i would. I guess that it's not a good thing to do because they would be high expectations
