Someone asks you to co-sign a loan. How to reject & say “no” nicely or politely?
My reply would be a serious, "Oh my word! I was going to ask you the same thing!....guess that's a no from you". I'd turn it back to them and let them be confused and think..gee..I guess she's not that much better off than me. Awkward but that's what I'd say.
