“jeremy, can you possibly give me a ride to the airport this sunday,” your friend ben asks. not thinking that this is a big deal, you agree to do this favor for ben. “oh, that’s great! so much. and by the way, i forgot that the plane leaves at 8: 30 am so i’ll have to be be at the airport by 6: 30 am. pick me up at 6: 00. see you then,” ben adds. you are still likely to do the favor for ben because you have just been a victim of the technique.
