I am a person who have gone through some awkward "duh" moments because of my frankness. No, I am not rude. I am just one of those persons who has to say what needed to be said... and that got me into a lot of trouble. I am not for duplicity. I will not beat around the bush or be condescending(sigh) just so I would not offend someone. That was before. Now that I am older, I find that there are ways to approach and handle sensitive matters without being rightly offensive. However! Here's a situation.
What if you gave an overly overweight person a ride and in the process the tire of your car (the side where the overly overweight person sat) was damage to the point that you had to buy a new tire? Right. I bought new a new tire to replace a month-old tire.I let it go and did not even mention it. However! The very same person is asking to ride with me on a long road trip. Short of driving away as fast as those cars I see on atv racing, what the heck am I suppose to do? Help!

If I were you, that would be a big NO- I'll carefully explain the reason why. And if letting him know what happened the last time will be of help supporting my reasons, then I will brought it up.
ReplyDeleteEasier said than done....NO! Unless she's willing to put a downpayment [in full...hehe] for a new tire.
ReplyDeleteTeka...baket ikaw lagi gusto nyang abalahin? Can it be because she's being declined by others because of that same reason?

@ einz: say, it has to be no...
ReplyDelete@ huling: pwede! ako na lang yata ang pwede pero i think i have to say no. ang mahal ng gulong ngayon!
hi po...
ReplyDeleteeh, nagtataka lang po ako kung wala lang ba siyang sinabi nung na-flat ang gulong mo? tapos siguro dapat mo nang mag-say NO kasi may kamahalan nga ang mga gulong ngayon...
