I understand the instinct for self-preservation, and how you'd want to prolong your life for as long as possible, but what self-respecting man or woman would let someone force him/her to dig his own grave?
Why wouldn't you just look the bastard in the eye and say Get it over with, fucker. I'm not going to dig.
Let's have a poll. I'm going to phrase this very carefully, so consider the options before making the knee-jerk response, look honestly into your own mind and give the response you'd probably give to the person holding the gun on you:

I'm in the "honestly don't know" category (yes, I voted). I'd like to think that I'd be armed as usual, and wouldn't willingly cooperate ... but there are other variables. Best case, start digging while thinking of a way to draw & fire while the bad guy is distracted.
Not only will I not dig my own grave, but I'll do everything in my power to make the bastard who threatened me dig his own.
Let me see if I understand the question. They person who is going to kill me demands I dig my own grave? He is going to stand there and watch.
Sure... I'll dig. Just long enough to get that five foot pole with a sharpened blade on the end in my hands, and then we might renegotiate the arrangement.
Your poll doesn't have a "Fuck No" option.
I got a shovel now. He may shoot me, but I'm gonna get him.
I'd start digging, If It could stall me filling that grave for a bit. Might get a chance to change whose name goes on the headstone. If not, Why die tired? Make the other guy do the work.
