It is not impolite to say no, but it is when you leave people hanging. When the subject of an email is in favor to someone, you tend to get the reply earlier. When the answer is no, some people choose to ignore and don’t reply to your email – sometimes we just need an answer to move on.
It is fine to say ‘no’ in your reply and your sender will be happier than receiving nothing at all!
It applies to relationships too.. haha.
Well said, it boils down to etiquette
So true. N that extends to sms as well.
It’s one of those rude things that ppl do that really bugs me.
Very agree, Mel :)
