"Just Say No... this is turning into grange hill.. ![]() Except of course that one was doing drugs at that time!!!!! And it wasn't Ro-land. To say 'no' I say 'no, sorry' and to any follow up I say 'no, sorry' again after carefully and actively listening. And to the classic follow up ' could you at least show some professional integrity and explain your reasons for your decision?' I reply 'No, sorry'. | |||

"If it's real life then assume a No and then block is not possible. No, with a few genuine reasons would be good. Guess you do not want a discussion or negotiation? How about a polite no, followed re-stating the points they may have made - to show you listened, give a reason or two with the kicker, I'm sorry, the decision is final, non negotiable and that's the end of it. Any good?" I like it - sounds like the best (most workable )option -thank you ![]() | |||

They will be direct and tell you the truth. They will move you out of the way if you were lingering in the supermarket. It is just a different culture and upbringing. At first I found it offensive because it is all new to me. Now I know the rules and find it polite actually to get straight to the point. Why mess about holding in your frustrations. | |||

"I mean, do you make excuses or tell people straight that you cannot/ dont want to do soemthing they have asked you to do? ![]() ![]() Look at it this way; you're only human and saying something negative is always going to be painful for the recipient. But how else could you say it? Ramble on for ages before you get to the nitty gritty punchline? Yes, some people have said No to me in a downright rude way and it has pee'd me off big time in some cases! But, I get over it recognising their rudeness is their problem, not mine! if they couldn't accept rejection from me for any reason, that too, is their problem. Life is full of setbacks; it can never be "Yes" all the time! | |||

"Just Say No... this is turning into grange hill.. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A thought. If this is in a work context, there is always the sexual harassment clause. If no doesn't seem to work, you may want to be a little more forceful and say that if he/she continues you will have no option but to report it to your management as sexual harassment. In a lot of companies that can be very career limiting. | |||
