2 ask for trouble

( ask (или look) for trouble)

напрашиваться на неприятности, вести себя неосторожно, вызывающе; ≈ лезть на рожон

It might be appropriate for you to rough-handle your servants, sir, but when you are foolish enough to insult our person and our official position by sending thugs to escort us here, I must say that you are asking for trouble... (J. Aldridge, ‘The Diplomat’, ch. XXVI) — Вы можете как угодно обращаться с вашими слугами; но если вы так глупы, что можете выслать нам навстречу бандитов, нанося оскорбление нам лично и нашему статусу, вы явно напрашиваетесь на неприятности...

‘In my experience,’ said Lord Caterham, ‘people who go about looking for trouble usually find it.’ (A. Christie, ‘The Seven Dials Mystery’, ch. V) — - Жизненный опыт подсказывает мне, - сказал лорд Кэтерем, - что люди, которые ищут ссоры, обычно находят ее.

You could see from his face that he was looking for trouble. (ODCIE) — По его лицу было видно, что он собирается спровоцировать скандал.

b) (with English perfect tenses)
Use hace... que and the present to describe actions and states that started in the past and are still going on. Alternatively use the present and desde hace.
