By this point, in all likelihood the person doing the request will give up.

I have found in a majority of cases, they don't even remember requesting it. I give those requests the scream test: don't do it and see if they even notice. Sometimes they do, depending on the management, but most jobs like the OP cartoon just say stuff to look important in the moment and have zero follow up plans to make sure it was done.
