what's the deal with people insisting "they don't want money" while ... taking it?

[prince of shitskins]

i get that people are sometimes legit uncomfortable taking money for something, even if deserved

i get that people sometimes say that just for the sake of it, because it's a ritual, as you say, to avoid looking greedy

but repeatedly insisting on "not being the money guy" (the stuff i described in the op, regardless of how it's verbalized) while "forgetting" to say "this is on me, you don't have to pay" is pretty annoying, specially because of how it usually pans out if you just thank them for the service and also "forget" to pay. i guess those people count those situations like they didn't actually charge you in their heads if they say enough of that "i'm not a materialist, bro" bs

the people who do this are the people who tally literally everything and will let you know all about it when their mask slips/when they're having a bad day. "WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM, YOU REMEMBER THAT TIME THAT BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH" just stfu. and of course reminding them that you've done favors for them too is fucking futile. they have an irrational thought process, they're retards 


don't even accept favors from these retards. just don't associate with them
