Stop in for a cup of coffee

Stop dancing around the answer and just say No.

“I cannot, and will not come to help you, here is the number of a repair service.”

I learned a long time ago to never soft sell the answer “No”.

Firm, direct and unforgiving...period.

Ask my FIL who tried to take out a life insurance policy on my daughter when she was a year old without asking me and named himself as the beneficiary and gave me no rights to the policy. He mailed it to me with little sticky flags where he needed me to sign. I sent it back shredded in a FedEx envelope with a note that said “No”.

Wow! That is really messed up. In that situation I would of done the same thing.

Im always for helping someone, but my gosh stay in contact with the person. I told him some of the basic things to look for from what he was telling me, and those didnt fix it. It wasnt until he ask me to come out and spend my time to look at it, is when he didnt understand.
