Akume he kinda did ask for it. He was bugging the guy begging and pleading him (admitedly "till he said yes") its not being a jerk. Its just shutting ppl up. OP obviousely didn't take no for an answer and didn't want to be a jerk and yell at him or blist him.
I see it all the time where I work. Kids want candy beg parent for it. Parents keep saying no. Thenj finally say yes but then say oh... I don't have any money. (which they do). PPl will do anything to stop a person from being annoying.
