When a friend asks a favor do you have a hard time saying no?

I don't know why but this popped into my mind and got me thinking. It was the Christmas season, 1985, in Houston. A friend of mine worked for a large department store chain. Her store had hired a Santa but he canceled at the last minute (illness or something, I don't remember) and Lynda asked me to fill in the next day. Oy. Not really my thing but its Christmas and kids are expecting St. Nick to be there. What can you do?

The next day I show up, put the suit on and do the best I can. I did insist Lynda be one of my elves and help me through this. It was a less than stellar performance but at least the kids saw an old fat guy in a red suit and a beard. After that was over we visited a shelter for runaway and abused kids. That was more rewarding but heartbreaking at the same time. At least I got to give all of them a present, bought by a sponsor. That made the whole thing worthwhile but when we left I hit my favorite bar and drank a lot of beer. It was hard, getting those kids out of my mind.
 
im not realy the kind to say know very often more times then not its a yes im always there for my friends
 
I'll say yes a good bit, but no the same amount 'cause I just might not wanna do anything at the time. Usually it's a maybe, followed by a "sorry, I'm too busy doing something made up." 😛
 
I hardly ever say no to my friends. The emphasis is FRIENDS, however. If I really do consider someone a friend, I rarely (i can only think of 1 single instance) say no to them because I know whenever I need something, they reciprocate with no questions asked. However, casual acquaintances I'll for the most part say yes unless I have something else I'd rather do or just don't feel like it or something silly like that.
 
It depends on what they ask me to do, but most of the times I say yes 🙂
 
Yes, I have a tough time saying "no" to a request for a favor from a friend.
 
It depends on the care-meter for me. I have a few friends that I will do anything for. All others will have to be analyzed. Meaning, will the friendship grow more, or will I come across as the guy that will do anything for anybody...
 
I used to say yes to everybody and then I wised up but over compensated and started to say no to everything, nowadays I try to be a bit more flexible.
 
Not only do I say yes too easily. I also offer my help too easily at times. (I must say though that I'm more balanced in things these days than I used to be.)
 
Nope. If I don't want to do it, I tell them no.

Depends on the favor though really. If it's something important, I'll probably do it. But if it's something meaningless that they can do themselves and are just lazy, I'll tell them no.

I would plat Santa every now and again at the Childrens hospital. It is never easy getting through there and no shedding tears. I have a few stories that I will not share here.

As for your question, I have a hard time saying no.
