Otherwise, I will decline and move on.

I don't know why you're making it sound like this is the worst thing in the world to do. :/
I agree completely. I call this "Ambush Friend-ing" and don't like it. I will automatically decline an ambush request. If you want my help, ASK for it. I'm a nice guy, and I actually enjoy being helpful, but I want to know WHY I should suddenly interrupt my plans to accommodate a stranger.
