Some people just don’t want to take no for an answer when it is about their interest. Yours, they don’t see at all. This reminds me of a story:
“Hodja, can I please have your laundry rope for a couple of days? We do our spring washing tomorrow.”
“Unfortunately the rope is busy. My wife is drying flour on it.”
“But Hodja, who can imagine such an incredible thing – drying flour on a rope? Is that even possible?”
“Well neighbour, little do you know what it's possible to do to avoid lending your rope when you don’t wish to.”
