Yes, I recognise these. 40 years back in my old church we had a

the boss was a church member didn't think it appropriate to say no,
and he didn't feel comfortable asking to be paid for unapproved
work.


Perhaps I'll try that at the next funeral: "While you're at it..."


"Here's one I prepared earlier"?
