I don’t think there’s a kind way of saying “You’re sleazy and make me want to throw up” unless I pour sugar on it.

@Keepitsimple That's just impolite - in this case I think I would just remain silent.

@Keepitsimple That type of honesty comes after the kindness is set aside. lol
Not sure the person should expect anything else if truly sleazy. I think that type already knows the truth without having to be told and probably don't care...they've heard it before! lol

@helenS Me? Quiet?? Not a chance. I don’t feel good until I say my peace.

@helenS I’m not passive, no. I won’t be an idiot for anyone.
