I've seen multiple threads on here about stories of people being brass-necked and there's always a bunch of people going "I can't believe the posters just let these pss-takers get away with it!" So this is a thread for stories about posters who didn't let these pss-takers get away with it.
Disclaimer: I'm not looking for cruelty or property damage or law breaking. I'm talking about things like "Jiminy Billy Bob called me at three in the morning expecting me to drive 100 miles to lend him a fiver! But I told him I'd love to, except: reason x, reason y, and reason z. Then I went back to sleep!"
Maybe this won't take off, but I just thought it'd be a bit empowering, among the stories of being being bolshy and brass necked, to hear some stories about people who stood up for themselves and won back a little ground against the cheeky selfishness that is so rampant in the world!
(MNHQ, if this isn't okay, I fully understand it getting deleted. I am honestly not trying to encourage bad behavior, just confidence and assertion. I hope that's okay!!)
