No-Can-Do Attitude - Funny Pun Shirt
- Vendor
- WitMonger - Printed & Shipped From USA
Every job posting wants someone eager to wear many hats. I own one hat, and it stays on. Asked to cover Friday, I declined. Asked to hop on a quick call about the quick call, I declined that too. Asked to be more of a team player, I said I would think about it, and I have not thought about it once. Nobody asks me to help them move anymore, which saves everyone a Saturday. A funny pun shirt for the coworker, sibling or roommate who has the answer ready before the question is finished. Lunch is at noon. It has been at noon since 2014.
THE FINE PRINT
NO-CAN-DO in bold serif capitals sits on top of a huge ATTITUDE in cracked collegiate slab-serif capitals. Underneath, a cartoon tin can with a ringed lid scowls out with angry eyebrows and a frown, arms crossed over its middle. One ink, distressed throughout.

ASKING FOR A FRIEND
What is the opposite of a can do attitude?
The usual answers are a defeatist, negative or can't-do attitude: assuming a task will fail before trying it, or hunting for reasons it cannot be done. At work it shows up as missed chances and stalled projects, and managers tend to notice it quickly. A firm, polite no to the fourth extra project of the week is a different thing, and some of us have built a career on it.
How to say no at work without feeling guilty?
Keep it short and specific: thank the person, say you cannot take it on, and give a reason only if it helps, such as a deadline you are already carrying. Offer a later date or point to someone else if you genuinely can. The guilt usually fades once you notice the work still gets done, by somebody, and the building is still standing on Monday.
What does no can do mean?
No can do is an informal way of saying I cannot or will not do that. It is usually traced to pidgin English and has been everyday American slang for well over a century, said lightly, a refusal with a shrug attached. In some offices it is a complete sentence.
