What did someone want to gift you the last time you wanted to turn down the gift (and why)?

    My schizophrenic uncle wanted to give me relatively big sum of money

    He seemed sane at the moment but like you never know, I preferred to not tempt fate

    A copy of the game Pseudoregalia.

    Which seems like a cool game and all but it was gotten immediately after the same person sent me fetish art of its main character I really didn’t like. So it didn’t feel right.

    A co-worker wanted to give me a lift to a shopping mall semi-near my home when I had my car in the workshop. I politely turned him down because it was either a 60-minute walk or two buses from there to home, while I could get a single bus from outside the office. He was weirdly insistant.

    Baseball tickets, I find nothing rewarding about watching baseball.

      I would say it might make a good re-gifting option to have on standby but, they’re second hand, they’re heavy and space consuming and, at least I personally, don’t know anyone who plays golf either. Gift sucks.

        They’re less of a gift and more akin to a cures. And in order to lift the cures I must gift them to someone else.

          Good luck. I guess even second hand they’re probably pretty good if you like golf, at least I mean maybe. I suppose they could be sucky clubs too. Hope you find someone that’s into golf

              Ah ok, definitely skip bin then. Do you have local government refuse collection where you live?

    My mother wanted to get me a wide brim sun hat with a neck flap: https://imgs.search.brave.com/fVuBnMVVBRH1g28fcDzOX0uUoC4Si8j5_V0yd65cJL4/rs:fit:860:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9tLm1l/ZGlhLWFtYXpvbi5j/b20vaW1hZ2VzL0kv/NzEzZDRjWUhZNUwu/anBn

    She thought it would be good to save me from the sun while mowing the lawn. I asked her to return it. There was no way I was going to wear that.
