The Stag Do
Your oldest friend is getting married. The trip is four days abroad and it comes to about £600 once you count flights and the meal. You don't have it. You could put it on a credit card and feel it for six months, or you could say no. Everyone else in the group has already paid.
Do you tell them the real reason you can't come?
Then ask
- What's the lie you'd reach for instead, and who would believe it?
- If you go into debt for it, are you buying the friendship or protecting your pride?
- Would you want a friend to borrow money to come to yours?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
