Oh yes...if I'm alone noone ever talks to me (resting bitch-face-syndrome), but when I'm shopping with wifey, I get asked at least once per trip to fetch shit off a shelf.

But also yes, exclusively women or handicapped men. A "normal" guy would probably rather die than ask another guy for help.

Wifey rarely asks though, she actually prefers a step-stool or whatever before asking for help.
