I don't take credit for thinking of this first because I heard it on tv, but i thought it was interesting.
Did you ever notice that you can tell what kind of favor someone wants by the length of the pause after you say it. short pause means a no big deal favor. long pause means a favor you might not want to do. For example, "Could you do me a favor and hand me that pencil." Practically no pause, not a big deal. And if you said, "Could you do me a favor? ....." And then you just wait and pause long enough and see if they will accept the favor before you even say it.
