I’ll be explaining why it’s offensive to ask for clarification on money you owe someone.
Why is it offensive to ask for a clarification on the money you owe someone?
It’s offensive to dispute clarity on money you most likely owe someone because it rejects the validity of a favor someone did.
If you’re the person loaning it’s important to know it’s not wrong asking for that money back.
I would however advise you to keep things ‘player.’
Ask professionally if you absolutely have to remind the borrower.
And maybe it might even be a better policy not to ever loan money again if you think you’ll be doing that again.
How can I politely ask someone to pay their debts?
The politest way to ask someone for paying their debts is by simply reminding them.
If you casually ask in a clever way then that takes some tension off the task.
Regardless it’s best to remain flexible across the board.
That means if you have money to loan then don’t share an amount that’ll break the bank upon sharing.
Also remember not to be in a desperate place after the funds are loaned.
Next is to send a text.
Memorializing your attempts at reaching out could prove to be useful.
You’re able to be review what was said and before you even send it you’ll have the chance to go over things before sending.
And lastly you could also get the credit back by insisting whoever owes gets the tab next time you go out together.
How do I politely return an expensive gift from a coworker?
Politely returning an expensive gift from a coworker can be time-consuming if you’re not sure how to go about it.
You can do it however by thanking your colleague first and tell them a hopefully positive opinion about the gift.
If you’re set on returning it then offer an explanation for why it’s not right to accept the gift. Maybe you have a low-budget policy for the gifts you’re willing to accept. Regardless it’s best to explain that so they’ll have a chance at understanding.
Honestly there’s not a black and white or cookie cutter method for communicating feelings towards people in this scenario.
