You are totally in your rights to fire your dog walker if they refuse to write you an essay about Russian political history.



You're also totally in your rights to ask your bank teller to write you an essay about Russian political history and switch banks if they refuse. Being within your rights doesn't mean you're not acting totally insane.


Maybe? But it doesn't make you less of an ass.


I’m not disputing that though. That doesn’t mean the average person would consider it reasonable


Why not? Suppose you have to choose between two dog walkers for hire, one who is will to write essays about Russian history and one who is not. You happen to be very interested in Russian history. Why wouldn't you prefer the dog walker who is willing to write about it?
