But it can also be badly perceived when you go through the motions of exchanging pleasantries instead of just being up front about needing a favour. In either case, pleasantries are nice, but pleasantries that are being done just for the sake of pleasantries can be seen as rude and trying to establish needless or false familiarity.

    True, it depends of the person. Sometimes I'm talked to just so I do something.

    In my case, I prefer pleasantries and asked favour in the same message. Being at least recognized as a person and know what's up ASAP. It faster for them anyway.
