On the street
Someone with a clipboard stops you outside a shop and wants you to sign up for something. You do not want to.
They say: "Have you got two minutes for a good cause?"
What could you say?
Three things you could say. None of them is the one right answer; each note says why it fits the moment, or why it may not.
No, thank you.
A strong fit
Complete. You can say it while you keep walking.
Not today.
Also works here
Also a no. It leaves a small door open that you do not have to walk through.
Stop and listen for ten minutes because leaving feels rude.
Worth a second look
You can. It is allowed, and it is not owed to anyone with a clipboard.
What people here usually expect
- People with clipboards expect most passers-by to say no. It is their normal.
- You can keep walking while you say it.
- Stopping to listen is allowed and it is not owed.
Your words
Write the one line you would use to a stranger with a clipboard, and keep it.
In the app you write one line here and it lands in your lines. Nothing is graded.
The move this moment practises: A clear no.
