When dealing with difficult people I like to remember

[kairos12]

the word "no" is a complete sentence.

1. My favorite is, "I don't see that happening"

The look of confusion while they process what that means is priceless. By the time they figure out it means no I’ve already moved the conversation along.

3. I like it, Phoenix61

I can imagine a time I could say that.
Many thanks.

4. My line is "I don't think so."

2. Well said, kairos12.

That’s a good lesson to learn but not an easy one.
