It is annoying when people are like OMG OMG GIMME REP GIMME REP!!!!!!! My rule of thumb is that if people ask for rep, I don't give it to them. I try to give as much rep as I can to those who help me out. I really don't care about my reputation, it's just a little green thing. I don't see why people have to beg for rep, it's not like the world will end because one person didn't get rep they asked for.
