Just Say “No!”

August 14, 2011 By Victor Pride 5 Comments

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.

    Don’t forget the “Hey guy, can you take a photo of me and my friends?” - “No.”

      I am assuming you being sarcastic, otherwise, in that case a ‘NO” is uncalled for.

    Anything a woman says is most likely to be a shit test anyways.

    Haha, yeah. It’s important to be able to say no… Some people can’t make themselves say no, because then they feel guilty. Fuck that shit - we don’t have to do stupid favors all the time - only when we actually genuinely want to.

    Great post Victor. All the no’s are very important, too much working for other is always very bad, everyone wants a piece of us: parents, kids, spouses, friends - and they never provide some services back! never propose maybe to give a hand in some of our activities.
