Comment on "Can i ask you for a favor?" Is it rude to say no?

More broadly, I think it’s appropriate to respond to social overreaching with rudeness.

In situations like these, I tend to just not respond but simply look at them. Awkward for everyone, but not aggressive on my part. Leave the ball in their court, if it’s a simple “could you take a photo” then whatever, but if it’s a less acceptable “could you buy me some smokes” then you’ve not mentally committed.
