The word "NO"
Created | Updated Apr 17, 2002
In case you are in São Paulo, Brazil, use this small word whenever you can, but specially when:
1.) Someone you don't know approaches you and briskly asks you anything;
2.) Someone you don't know approaches you and tenderly asks you anything ;
3.) Someone you don't know approaches you and invites you to a free meal with "a few friends of mine - and we'll read the Bible and talk about God, and it'll be a great FUN, and we'll have a few free goats to the new guests and...";
4.) Someone you don't know approaches you and tells you your hair and/or clothes are on fire (it could be a trick... THEY are Evil Incarnate!! trust no one! Grararaaargh!... huh, I mean...).
Please notice the examples above are also valid when your "attacker" does not approaches you, and instead yells from distance, makes strange gestures, calls, sends an e-mail, and others.
Also consider the possibility of saying "no" while running madly to a safer place.
