The Answer; NO

Where I grew up we never accepted an answer “no”. I’m not joking!!As a nation I must say it’s in our blood. We always want to get what we want. Take the simplest example. Imagine you go this popular place on a friday night without reservation, the chances for you to find a table is 98%. You go up to the waiter and ask for a table. The answer, you already know “Sorry, there are no tables available”. First thing you say “Aaaa really BUT we are only 2 can’t you do something?” by using all your charms. If he says “No, I’m sorry there is a waiting list if you want I can write your name down.” First you get excited tell your name and then ask “How long do we have to wait?” If it’s longer than 30min, you play the role of little starving person “But we are super hungry can’t we make it a bit faster?” of course with a huge smile on your face. (At this moment I really don’t know what we expect because you are in a restaurant 90% of people who are there are hungry, secondly there are people who have been waiting why do you want to be irrespecutful, lastly what do you expect waiter do to - take the dishes away from people who already eat/drink and chou them away so you can sit?-). To be fair sometimes this cuteness works and you cut the line and have table rather quickly but for the times that it doesn’t work, you wait in the bar and again most probably get drunk with that empty stomach and eat the whole menu. To be honest this is the best scenario of not accepting the answer “no”. It happens in the shops as well, you try a shoe and if doesn’t fit you ask for smaller/bigger number when the answer is no, you ask again really? when they say sorry you stand up and ask them to check other stores if there aren’t in those stores you start mumbling making threats of not coming to the store again(if you really like to shoe)… For me this was super normal until when I hit the road on my own for a summer school in Paris at the age of 16. There no was no and I didn’t have my parents to make it a yes for me. As I grew up older and went to an exchange I was shocked, I was going to restaurants without reservation I was being super cute when I ask for tables but the answer was no and no one was having any privileges; either you wait or you go, your choice. In my case I never gave up giving this attitude of not accepting the answer “no”. Now in Italy it’s the same sometimes the cuteness works sometimes it doesn’t. So I started wondering whether this attitude was my characteristic or seriously something related to my nationality? Regarding all the times I lived (and still living) abroad, I met many people from different countries as a human nature we don’t accept the answer “no”. For some small things like a table in a resto or a different size of skirt is just the smallest part. Sometimes we can't accept the things that life bring to us. We can’t accept of being rejected after a job interview, the answer “no” lowers our self-esteem deep inside, if a boy/girl says “no” to a date night most of the time we want to crawl in our beds with all the junk food in the world. All these made me questioning when did we become this demanding? And then I imagine a world without an answer “no”, everything I ask for I  have. To be honest it’s super good but after a point it would be super boring: I would be left without ambition, without any goals and dreams. After all maybe it’s good to have an answer “no” for some cases in order to find another way around to realise some stuff…NO?
