It seemed to me that anything was up for negotiation by certain members of the society that I was in. It took a long while for them to understand that "No" meant "No"! Once that was established. Things started to work. Perhaps our society has become too easy and that may be why so many folks from other societies want to be here?  Maybe it's time to reinforce "No" and "Stop" for the benefit of the whole population and not let the "Maybe" folks do as they please!  |
So true what you say about NO.
It's been that way for many years as well.
Before I retired I was a building site manager.
Usually parking on site was limited.
I had No Parking signs put up but found from time to time they were ignored.
I added -------YES THAT DOES MEAN YOU-------It turned out to be quite effective.
So many people just can't take NO for an answer.----
