As a sub, how do you say no respectfully?

What is a good way to express my feelings about a task while being respectful?

Umm...I'm probably not the best person to respond to this, but I'm going to anyway. *grins* I have yet to discover a "good" way. Just the other day, VoodooMan and I were discussing (via text message) the rope I got him and the fact that his new truck has these nifty tie-down thingies. I immediately said that it was too cold to do outdoor bondage and that we'd have to wait until it was warm. He pointed out that I was trying to have things *my* way, like I was placing an order at Burger King or something. So I gave it my best shot with "But....but....it's COLD! Can't we just go to the dungeon instead?" *ggls* All I got from him was, "You're doing it again." *smiles* When I gave in and said that we'd do it *his* way, in the cold, he pointed out that he's never done anything horrendous, which is true. His "innocent look" doesn't fool me, though.

Anyway, the point of my rambling is this. You can express yourself all you want, good, bad, or ugly. Just don't be surprised if he ignores your protests and suggestions. After all, how much respect would you have for him if you were able to talk your way out of doing everything you don't want to do?

This isn't Burger King. You don't get it *your* way. You get it MY way, or you don't get the damn thing!

Not even if all you want is some extra pickle!!
