SAYING NO - MY ACHILLE’S HEEL

I have a small problem and that is saying NO to people. I don’t know why just I can’t say NO but I can’t simply say NO and I wonder why?

Last year, a man came to sell his cat to me at my home. I told him that I do not need cats and that they are unnecessary since I do not have rats at my home compound. But he insisted that I buy the cat and that he will bring some rat around my home later in the evening. I could not turn down his offer since he was so cute in explaining his situation. Further, to my astonishment and true to his words, he returned towards the evening with a family of four rats and told me that his cat would be useful to me now that he has released the rats around. How do you guys respond to such people? Please teach me how to turn off such people away without hurting their sentiments.
The Cat Seller!
A year before last, an egg seller came to my door to ask if I need some. I told him that I had few dozens already brought from the local market and that I did not need more. But he insisted that I try his brand of egg as it came all the way from his village where only organic farm productions are encouraged. I had to buy at least a dozen since his explanation was so sweet although I had a few dozens in the kitchen already. Have you ever come through such a situation? How would you keep the egg seller out without offending him?

Not long ago, a beautiful lady turned up to offer herself to me since she knew that I live alone. May be she needed it as she explained to me that she did not have opportunity to meet males in the last few months. I said I do not get indulged into such activities since I have vowed not to touch ladies for some time. However, she started removing her clothes and grabbing my things even before I could notice that I was also interested. Can anyone teach me how to avoid such approaches? I need to learn some tactics to free myself off from such desirable happenings.
The lady who took her chance to grab me!
A Badham (ground nut) seller pushed in a packet of Badham through the opened window of my car and told me the price of the packed. I told him that I do not like such stuff much, but he insisted that it was roasted on the hot sand and that it was very tasty. I could not turn down his offer only to learn later that the Badham was not too good for consumption. How do you push such people out of your way polite and unharmed? I need the idea. Please teach me.

A knife seller just shoved in one of his knives through my car window and started promoting the quality of his knife. I told him that I have enough knives and that it was not necessary for me to own many knives. He explained that the knife was made of Truck Spring and that it is very good for use. Under pressure due to his soft and mouth watering explanation, I had to yield to his request and got the extra knife. Any idea how to deal with such people by not making them unhappy? Couldn't believe I got the knife. Help me chase such people please.

An old lady wanted to hitch a ride with me and explained that she had to reach the hospital before a set time. I said I was not going to the hospital side, but she insisted that if elderly people like her are helped I would accumulate merits. I reached her to the hospice but was late for my emergency meeting. Can anyone help me reject such offers? I need your blessings to deal with such situations. Can't say NO. Put some guts in me, please.
An old lady!
Many people might hope "I marry them since I am an old Bachelor" but that may not be true. However, I know I can't say NO if anyone propose me. A few proposals that I could not say NO are still pending. Weak at heart person like me cannot say NO to any of them. I have accepted all of them and I am now in quandary and I am looking for methods to see them off but without hurting them. Can any one teach me how to do it so? Help!
Person who wants to be strong but not!
Haha! Just kidding guys. He wishes many ladies to ask but unfortunate, not many ask him. Sometimes jokes are good in the samsara which is full of conditions. Enjoy my jokes. This is written with a lightest heart!
