Make a request and invite trouble (3,3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ask for it

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'make a request' is the first definition.

'invite trouble' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for ask for it that I've seen before include "To try to get hold of computer people" , "Invite retaliation, provoke trouble" , "invite punishment" , "Invite ill" , "Invite trouble, behave provocatively" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
