It's a bit like.

I'm having a get-together and dinner with friends, would you like to come?

Sure, why not.

OK,,see tonight at seven but bring your camera.

Haha this totally happened to me. I shot at a couple friends' birthday lunches, just for fun. I brought it for candids between bites of food and socializing with everyone. Later on, it turned into taking a ton of posed photos outside in the restaurant gardens. Needless to say I took a lot of photos. Kind of annoying because it was all my friends and none of me.

A few months later, one friend invites me to a birthday lunch way the hell across town. Like a 40 minute drive for me. I was tight on money at the time, (and I mean like, eating ramen twice a day) and this restaurant was $20 for a salad. I said, yeah I will come by but I won't be able to eat anything. Then they proceeded to tell me to bring my camera again because they wanted new photos in this new location for their facebooks and myspaces. I asked how long we would take pictures for, they said to come an hour early so we could shoot before, then shoot again after lunch. I told them if they wanted photos then I'd meet them at a friends house that was much closer and I didn't want to make the drive to basically work.

Then again, the next year at one of the original persons birthday lunches, they again asked me (by text) to bring my camera. I didn't respond and just showed up without it. They haven't asked me again, but I randomly bring it to get togethers and only end up taking candids. Nobody asks me to take posed photos. lol

A friend of mine needed pictures for an upcoming fight he had(MMA) my request was ringside tickets in return, he said why your just taking pictures? I gave him my camera bag tripod flash and trigger and said then you do it. He got the point=)

Two things that piss me off:

Did a buddy's wedding for free as a favour (I offered, nothing wrong with that, he's a great friend, would do it all over again in a flash). But then one of his idiotic groomsmen and his g/f kept following me around asking me to take couples photos of them like it was their effing wedding...

Craigslist ads that want you to shoot for free to "build your portfolio". You don't work for free to "build your resume", do you? The best so far was one asking to shoot concerts for free...requiring you to have pro-level gear (said in the ad) with fast pro lenses (as per ad) and your own transportation to/from the venue...no pay. I sent them a nice email telling them which of their orifices to stick it in

Tell them you only do one gig at a time, and hand them your business card. If they have the brass to call, tell them what you charge per hour—doubled.

Be sure to tell them to stick it in far enough to choke on it.
