I just signed out of my yahoo chat after some old freind of mine started asking me for well over 3 grand to pay his back taxes on his house. I told him NO I do not have it... then he proceeded to tell me HOW I ought to be spending my money and where did my settlement money all go to.. well lets see here... MEDICINES, COPAYS, HOSPITAL BILLS, AND new glasses. plus things I deemed needed for me. I mean like really? is it ANY of his dog gone bisuness anyhow? So much for my having a good sleep with an anger free night. he would NOT take no so I ended up just getting rude and saying words that can't be used here. WHY do I always have to be rude to get my point across?

I am sorry you had to resort to rudeness to get the message across, Mitra. Unfortunately, that is the only way some people understand. I would probably have had to do the same thing if I were in your shoes.

I am sorry that you had such a terrible experience with your old friend. People can act like real idiots sometimes, huh?
 I don't know what in the world possessed him to think that he felt that could push you around and get a few bucks! Very sad.  I certainly don't blame you for bawling him out. I've got some choice words in my mind to add.  Gentle hugs to you. I hope that your day improved since early this morning. Take care!

some people can't stand someone having something they don't and feel it is their god given right to have it...these people are scum and deserve whatever language you used.
Well done for saying no and sticking with your decision,xxx |

Me, too! If people don't just take "no" for an answer, then we have to add some firmer words to go with it.
Somewhat related, I've read when people win the lottery, they tend to lose friends. These friends think the winner should just fork money over to them and get mad when they don't. I've heard the idea that lottery winners shouldn't be announced, and I'm beginning to think that's a good idea. |

make sure this person stays an "old friend" and not a current one, because that just sounds like they're straight up trying to take advantage of you.

I'm glad you were able to say no! Even if you had to resort to rudeness to make your point.

Actually, you don't have to.
All you need to say is "No" and you owe absolutely no explanation. And each time the question is repeated, another "No" is given until the person asking finally understands that this is all he/she is getting. |
