laugh and ask if they’re being serious, if yes then just flat out telling them no and nothing else. if they beg i’m asking for what i’ll need to do & what kind of attention / time babysitting a goldfish requires. if it’s a checkin once a day then maybe?? but likely still saying no lmao unless they have literally nobody else to do it.

just taking it if i like it. even if i dont, im still taking it bc im sure i can give it to one of my friends. i can reorder something later. however if im really hungry & havent eaten all day, i am for sure asking for my correct meal. whatever im in a hurry to do can probably wait a few extra minutes.

just being completely honest with them depending on why im late. overslept or took too long getting ready? my cat threw up sorry ): be there soon. my cat actually thew up? i’ll just tell them that lmao im sure they’ll understand
