Can you do me a favor?

If you need to ask someone to do something for you which is extra work or a little annoying for that person, begin with "Can you do me a favor?"

For example:

Hey, can you do me a favor? Can you pass me that bottle of soap over there?

A: Can you do me a favor?

B: Sure.

A: Can you watch my stuff for me for a few minutes? I'll be right back.
