“You can accept gifts, right? I’ll just buy something for you!”
I’ve gotten this a lot, so I feel the need to clarify.
Let’s say a friend comes to visit me, and they bring me a gift of some sort. Imagine how rude it would look if I told them I can’t accept it on principal… it would be rude, and make me look weird. That’s why I am aloud to accept gifts from people. However, I would be breaking the rule if I expressed an interest in an object, and had someone buy it for me as a gift.
