It can also be used in regard to ignoring people or treating people badly too or not taking in their opinion. For example: "I took John for granted".
Someone makes an effort to be helpful and nice towards you, goes out of his/her way to do so, but all the while you accept it all without much, if any, recognition of the kindness/favour or whatever, or any acknowledgment or even gratitude. You take that person for granted as if it is his/her God given duty to run himself/herself into the ground for you but you offer no thanks in return.
