Makes it about them, the baiting and keeping someone in an anxious state.
Here the anxious state would include constantly putting some kind of pressure on you to make a request or decision go their way. They love to create a sense urgency or dire emergency for a ride to a bar. I must meet them there for a job offer or collect money they owe, can't skip this. More excuses and rationalizations follow. Along with the frantic demeanor.
Don't take the bait. Do not engage. Do not let things turn into a negotiation. Keep those boundaries well defined.
