I have composed a nice text file which I send to people who do this. It says the following:

It is common courtesy if someone harvests for you and they use THEIR fuel you let them plow. In the future do not hire me to harvest for you unless you plan to let me plow.

In the past couple of days I have had 2 ladies horribly complaint (witch with a capital B) to me when I sent it. Does this message contain any vulgarities? NO it doesnt!!!!

I think people need to stop being so darn self-centered and allow the person who is using their fuel to help them, to plow.

Simple and just the facts.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Happy Farming and Take Care.

I fully understand your frustration...it happens a lot to me...I have started accepting only the plow hire request..which is sad really..but as you say..when you have used your fuel to help someone..it would be good if they asked if you wanted to plow before hiring someone else...
