"When ____[observation], I feel ____[emotion] because I’m needing some ____[universal needs]. Would you be able to ____[request]?"

The typical/traditional response to such a request is somewhere between "uh, no" and "absolutely not - and making such a request is itself an unforgivable offense; if you value your (job/career/life/relationship/etc.) you will never speak of it again."

The only exception is if the requester is a boss or another person whose "requests" are actually orders.
