| Jul 10, 2019 at 15:32 | comment | added | reirab | @Alexander I don't disagree, but that seems to be the OP's question. I completely agree that it's a bizarre demand, especially without any further explanation, but that seems to be the demand OP wants to make. | |

It's putting your foot down in a context in which no one would expect foot-put-downing. There's a time and a place for it, but if I just saw this out of the blue, I would just think this is just a difficult person, and skip right over them. Then again, that's probably the point. | |

"Although aggressive and passive behavior may temporarily allow one to reach a goal, assertiveness is better in the end. I define assertiveness as: actively and appropriately communicating one’s goal." | |

| Jul 9, 2019 at 8:18 | comment | added | lucasgcb | @Alexander well it is quite frankly a weird situation so being blunt is a way to save everyone time; granted it could use some tact like prepending "at the moment", which calls for understanding as opposed to demand. | |
