Most of us have learnt that the best way to deal with any problem is to avoid it, unfortunately following this approach means our integrity usually goes out the window. Recently I've been looking at houses to buy, some houses we look at I'm pretty sure within 5 minutes I won't be buying this house, do I say - ok thanks for your time, not interested, bye. No for some stupid reason, I end up doing the whole tour, wishing it was over, trying to hurry the agent up without seeming rude, Eventually I get in my car bursting from relief. Its just my initial reponse is not really socially acceptable anymore, in this overly polite generation.
