Speaking from the top

Rejection is a hard thing to deal with but there are some certain ways of doing it. Diplomatic and politeness would be the right approach especially if the one who’s asking is someone who’s open minded for both positive and negative answers. Despite the fact that my country screams ‘anti communism’, the whole society of people enthused with democracy practices communism and I swear they worship Hitler on a very annoying level. So, most of the out of date members of my country have the whole ‘I know shit you are under my hierarchy level’ vibe, which is quite synonymous to ‘stupidity’ and ‘dumbness’.

Sometimes, when a simple solution consists of a ‘no’, some people just love to give the whole ‘don’t you get it’ vibe. I was asked to call our country embassy in Singapore today and just because I know someone through a mutual friend, I just called her straight off. I was pretty sure what I was gonna ask her was something that cannot be easily granted and I was quite ready for a ‘no’ coming from her.

First, she gave me this ‘do you think you could just get what you want just cos you mention the name of our mutual friend’ vibe. Then, she gave me the rejection. It gets worse when she went ‘what I said was easy’ and repeated the whole protocol again. I mean, yes I know shit and I was about to hang up anyways. If I were in her situation I would be much more polite and quite empathetic. It’s true that there might be other assholes who were to use her for the advantage of a mutual friend but that does not mean everyone who calls her is THAT people.

Seriously, if the people in my country want a better country, people like this would have to change their attitudes first and stop acting superbrave about revolting to something they have so little knowledge of. Act smart, assholes!!!.
