#294 - Accepting a Gift You Don't Like Do's and Don'ts

Accepting A Gift You Don't Like - Do's & Don'ts

> You Do

Accept someone's gift gratefully, even if it isn't something you wanted.

> You Don't

Ask where the gift came from, so that you can take it back and get something you really want.

> Why

Simply asking that question makes it clear that you don't like the gift, and that would hurt somebody's feelings, which would be rude. A gentleman is never rude - at least not on purpose.
