"No" just hasn't been as easy a word to utilize since your terrible twos. Now, when you're presented with situations that call for not a simple "no," but a "hell, no," you might feel pressure to hedge. It just seems impolite to flat-out tell your friend you can't pick up the cake for their cat's birthday, right? You can't tell your sister that you 100% don't want to get matching SpongeBob tattoos — that would hurt her feelings.
The Truth Fairy (a.k.a. comedian Tessa Hersh) is here to tell you that sometimes, a straightforward no is the kindest thing you could give your friend. At least there's no possibility of miscommunication.
