60% of the time it works every time! It basically never works in crits, so if that's your thing be less chill.
I let a guy in who asked in a part of a road race where nothing was happening and there was a pinch point of sorts coming up. Guy behind me starts yelling about giving up positions. Then yelled at me later for giving a guy space to move up on the yellow line (he asked again). I hate the team that said yeller rides for so if you ask nicely I'll probably let you do about anything if I thought it would piss them off.
