A politely declined, but B repeatedly asked, "Can't I just borrow it for a moment?" before eventually leaving. B's absurd requests did not stop there. On rainy days, B would call A's cafe and ask to bring inside peppers or potatoes that they had left outside. Even when A replied, "I'm busy, I'll do it in 10 minutes," B insisted, "It has to be done now," and refused to hang up the phone.

It didn't end there. B caused a minor collision with A's parked vehicle but did not pay for the repairs. A shared, "B crashed into my car and was crying, so I said I would only ask for about 100,000 won for the repair. B kept silent and pretended not to know anything, then didn't pay but brought side dishes or pancakes instead." A lamented, "It might be a simple request, but these small things add up and make me see them negatively. People should have some sense of shame, but I get fed up when I see people like this." Netizens who read the story responded with comments such as, "Make sure to get the repair fee and firmly say no. Their demands will only get worse," "It’s tough because they’re a customer, but you have to cut it off at some point," and "No matter how regular the customer is, quickly cutting ties with such a customer is the answer."
