Have you ever had someone asking for money get aggressive when you told them no?
Yes and their reaction was like I owed it to them.
No. And if they did it would most likely end the friendship.
No.
People who feel entitled make many assumptions. One that I have noticed on several occassions in different homes is: If you have a clean home and your property is well cared for (because you work hard to keep it that way) and you are not in debt because you can manage your money, even though it is minimal, people assume you have a ton of money. They also expect you can give some of that money to them without repayment.
Yes, both strangers on the street and in my private life. I am usually a "giving" sort of person, but not when I'm being pushed.
I had a dude approach me two nights ago while walking into a store with my 3 year old and 10 year old. He asked do you have any money you can give me? I am always polite and say "no, I don't. I'm sorry." And continue walking to my destination. He then proceeded to follow me saying I need gas to get to blah blah blah. I replied "I am sorry. I can't." He then got closer, invaded my comfort zone and said "You CAN'T! Wait a minute! Wait a minute you CAN'T!" And that pissed me off! My claws came out! He was now too close to my kids. I turned to him and said "Yah can't" and something came out deep from within me as I firmly and loudly told him "I SAID NO!" And He left. I informed the greeter at the door what was going on in their parking lot and the guy gets aggressive if you tell him no.
