Plenty of times throughout each day.
Why ask the car salesperson for the ugliest, cheapest car which will inevitably be the worst car when s/he sells BMW's? Why do we ask Krsna for the most material and temporary things when we can ask Him for what we KNOW is what we need: eternal love.
It is the hardest thing to wrap our tiny brains around. Krsna has what we want but we are satisfied by asking Him for things that will never give us what we want. There has never been a limit on what we can ask Krsna, so why do we subject ourselves to asking for petty items?

We can ask Krsna to give us HIM! How sweet is that!
It is frustrating to see every living being going after their own material gains regardless of the fact that Krsna has promised us eternal happiness. Krsna made the process easy for us when trying to reach Him - chant His holy names - but provided us with one obstacle: our minds. The mind will always try to swing us away from that permanent happiness and push us to pursue temporary pleasures. It is the ultimate test to steer our minds onto that ever-smiling face of Krsna.
Even after saying all of this, I know I am going to Krsna tomorrow to ask Him for that 95%. The mind will never understand.
