Just Say “No!”

Hey, we need you to come in and work over the weekend again.

No.

Can we watch Sex and the City part 2?

No.

Buy me a drink?

No.

Can you skip the gym and help me do this BS?

No.

Got any spare change?

No.

Maybe you should give up on that and just get a job.

No.

Can you tell me about your future plans?

No.

Let’s just “veg out” and watch TV today.

No.

I know I’ve just met you but can you help me move into my new apartment?

No.

Let’s mindlessly go out to the club/bar every weekend.

No.

Gentlemen, “No” is the most powerful word in the English language. Get to know it. A “No” response need not be followed by a long, drawn out list of reasons why. “No” is sufficient.
