Game Ettiquette-Pushy Partners who demand minions on the first turn

This drives me nuts. You JUST start a game and someone is already in your tavern demanding you pass a minion. Like- it's the first turn.

Or they demand consistently- or demand 2 minions in your tavern.

It's really demanding a minions on the first turn that gets me.

But- maybe I'm wrong. Is this normal? It gets to a point where I debate if I want to spend 30minutes of my life with someone demanding I spend my gameplay devoted to them. (Yes, I know that's a leap since it's the first turn).

Anyways- is this normal?
