Begging choosers annoy me.

You get something for free, but you get upset when it's not good enough for you?

I was raised that it's rude to even refuse a kind gesture or gift. Damn people weren't even raised to be thankful for the gift itself.

My Dad said of my [b][i]ex[/i][/b], if you gave him a gold brick, he'd say, what, this little one?

Its sad that their parents didn't teach them manners. They might be good people trapped inside uneducated lives around manners and etiquette. Its learned, its not something we are born with

@MushroomFaerie manners are learned. We are all born selfish and confused why our needs are instantly met as babies.

People demanding things for free nv learned manners. They were taught the value of gifts. They think they should just get what they want

MushroomFaerie

@Llort well that's just ignorance, immaturity or narcissism.
You'll find them everywhere. Might as well just and be glad that you are wize enough and grounded enough to be grateful

It reminds me of people who say they're lonely but don't respond when you message them. People are never happy with what they have.

@Energy00 ain't happy unless you're bitching

Many people don’t appreciate free things anyway. For some, part of the value is that they earned or worked for it. It’s a paradox, that. 🤔

My husband was talking to a friend of his who owned a couple of appliance stores and asked what they did with appliances that were traded in when the owners traded up.

He said, "We used to put them out front with a "Free for the taking" sign, but nobody would touch them. Now we just put them around back by the loading docks - and people think they're stealing them."

@Mamapolo2016 I guess on some level they see that effort as “work”. 😅

Good point. Not charity, anyway.@bijouxbroussard
