The most annoying thing about going to work every day is that my coworkers want to take me for a ride, and I actually want to refuse, but I'm afraid to hurt my feelings by saying it outright, and now this is going through my head all day long, and I feel especially tired.
I am a person who pays more attention to personal space, I like to be free on the way to and from work, and I always feel that I am tied down and my mood is affected when I carry my colleagues. This idea is getting worse and worse, and even interferes with my daily life.
How on earth can you reject it skillfully? Don't worry, let me share some practical tips.
Hello everyone, I'm strawberry.
💫 Many people in the workplace have probably encountered a similar situation: they don't want to give their coworkers a ride, and they're worried that the relationship will turn sour if they refuse. It's really draining to agonize over this every day. Personally, I enjoy my alone time and feel that giving a ride is a burden and affects my mood. So how do you deal with it?
☀️ To give an example of life, I have a classmate always love to send various coupon links to me. At first, I think it's okay to click on them, but then some of them require registration of personal information, so I didn't help because I was too troublesome and afraid of leaking my privacy, and I didn't reply to her. When she realized it, she automatically stopped sending them.
☀️ As the saying goes, to help is a favor, not to help is a favor. Colleagues often take your car, will inevitably give you trouble. If your coworkers do not take the initiative to show, you are afraid of affecting the friendship, do not know how to speak.
🌸 For example, you could politely say, "It's not a good day for me, I have to run some errands elsewhere."
🌸 Or, "Sorry, I'm used to relaxing in the car, so it might not be too convenient to drive you in the future."
🌸 BTW, I watched the news a while ago, a guy was given a ride home by a coworker after drinking and ended up passing away in an accident in his car, and the owner of the car was not responsible. This also reminds us that carrying passengers is sometimes risky.
☀️ use a polite way to refuse, coworkers usually can understand, next time will not trouble you. If the other side still pretend to be confused, that means he loves to take advantage of, away from such people on your own is also a good thing.
