Default, by nature, is to help out.I also use the "I'll do it but then you owe me" routine. I may not take them up on it but it seems to prevent some coming back for more.
Another way to look at this is that I'm building slack to be taken at a future date. If I have nothing pressing I do try and help out. That way I can say no without guilt when I really do need to get out of there or what's being asked is complicated enough to not want to race through at the end of a day.
