Declining gifts is a common practice for my parents’ generation and those before. Similar to offering help and paying for bills that I’ve mentioned in the previous episodes, this back-and-forth battle can go on for a long time before the recipient finally “gives in”. Although sometimes the battle can get too intense that people drop the gift by accident. I recently read in the newspaper that in a Chinese village, one family was offering money to another for the marriage of their daughter （It’s a ritual that the groom's family presents a set of elaborate gifts to the bride's family. The “gifts” will later be returned by the bride’s family). During the declining process, the money dropped on the ground by accident, and was seized by the passersby. 😬 #gifts #receivinggifts #giveandtake #chineseculture #ritural #humor #webcomic #sliceoflife #tinyeyescomics https://www.instagram.com/p/By7xwh7ix95/?igshid=a5e91nhv4qtv

I wanted to make a post about wanting to form a cult based around coupons but it seems many people have beat me to it
