If the events of yesterday and today have proven to be anything, it's that I can't say 'no'. In other words, I can't be assertive and reject someone. Especially when I'm minding my own business and you come out of nowhere asking me for something. My brain just shuts down and I say 'yes'.I won't deny that my brain is a tad slow at processing things and I need a moment to think of a coherent response.
But anyways, this is what happened. Whilst buying a ticket with a $20 note and receiving a truckload of coins, a man (who was smoking might I add) approached me and asked for $2. Normally when I see those people, my initial thought is that they'll spend the money on cigarettes, so I shouldn't feel obliged to give them money. However, seeing as this was my first encounter and being mentally slow, that thought hid under a rock somewhere, and that man walked away $2 richer. Next scenario; I was waiting in maccas for my food and the man that was about to order asked if I could lend him a $1, as I was taking the money out of my pocket he said $2 instead. In my hand I had a $1 coin and a $2 coin, I wasn't sure if he saw the $2 coin so in case he did, I handed him the $2.
Today, we were discussing about the new English tutor with my current tutor and he asked if I wanted him to join our next lesson. Being the indecisive nut that I am I just said "yeah, ok". And then guess what? I wasn't sure if he was being serious or not, but he was going on about how I didn't like him as a teacher and crap like that. Sorry dude, you were the one that asked ok? After talking to Maria about it, I realised what a stupid decision that was to accept his offer.
Moving on to another chapter of my poorly made decisions tale, the lady from the defence force called and asked if I wanted to attend one of their workshops, and surprise, surprise. Guess what I said? If you guessed that I said yes, then you're finallly catching on! yaay! But thankfully, with an ounce of reason still left in me, I told her I'd call her back because I wanted to ask my friends first. Hopefully when she calls tomorrow, I'll be able to tell her that I'm not interested.
