Give me a NO, or YES Any Day

So much of my time is spent listening to excuses. Excuses that just seem like thinly veiled lies. I politely accept these lies, and normally don't question them too much, because I've learned you're never going to get a straight answer anyhow, and sometimes you just wind up pissing the other person off. I just don't know why people feel they need to spare my feelings. Give it to me straight. I can starve on your maybes so just give me a "YES" or "NO", so I can move on. If there are questions, by all means ask.
