Your best way to turn down money offered for doing a favor

[Crazy Dave]

I always say, "If you pay me then it isn't a favor"

"Someday....and that day may never come....I'll call upon you to do a service for me" - Don Corleone, The Godfather

1. Turn it around

ask the person, 'would you take it if I offered you money for doing me a favor?'

2. Just say no I can't accept payment but please if you come across

someone else in need, pass it on by helping them out. :bounce: (the pay it forward thingy)

3. "I'm your friend (neighbor/son/brother/uncle) ..."

"That's what friends (neighbors/sons/brothers/uncles) do."

8. I changed a flat when it was 105 outside for a lady

that was on her way to get her electricity turned back on. She started crying and started digging change and a couple of singles out of her purse. That almost made me cry. I told her if my wife and granddaughter had a flat I would just want someone to fix the flat for them.

9. I tend to say something like 'Oh no, it was my pleasure'.

That tends to work.

11. If You Like Them Enough ...

Offer them the chance to take you out to a cheap lunch or for a drink.

Otherwise, a smile, a shake of the head and an "I can't accept that," should do.

12. Give them my address.....
