That's why when I'm not interested or trying to cancel something I always give a content-less, irrefutable reason.

"No, I don't want this product, because I'm not interested."
"I'd like to cancel this credit card, because I don't want to have this credit card anymore."

- TheHegemon 9y ago"But why don't you want this credit card anymore?"
- ams6110 9y agoBecause I want to cancel it.
