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

[Altruist]

they realize that doesn't count as not taking money, right?

i've had a couple of situations where i was supposed (and willing) to pay people I know (acquaintance level) for providing a service to me, just for them to keep telling me they aren't materialists, they don't care about money, money is not everything in life ... while taking the said money.

puts me in a very uncomfortable position where, if i say "ok if you say yo, thanks for the free service", but we all know how that pans out - with them pretending it's all cool at first, but then holding it against me for the foreseeable future, including considering me to be a cheap person and even telling it to others

just take the money, retards, it's not that i'm giving it to your for nothing; you earned it

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

"im not a materialist people with fancy cars aren't in touch with the real world like me" everyone who actually says this is a retarded fucking coper and money is on their mind 24/7

i would take it a step further and say they care the most about it. fucking hilarious watching these losers break down and you see their true nature is just a bitter fucking loser who thinks they were robbed of some life.

without fucking fail. everyone who says they don't want money or they are happy with less or makes a fucking point to seem less vain than other people is a bitter fucking insect who you should avoid at all fucking costs

rant over. i fucking hate those people

identical to the "i don't care about other people's opinions" copers. all i'm hearing when someone says that is "my entire self-perception is based on how much external validation i get" or, in more specific cases, "i just heard/realized someone has a bad opinion about me"

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

Error for both brocode and josh, unfortunately

this is the thing, yeah (i mentioned it above). 

the first next time i get into anything remotely resembling an argument with those people, if i legit said "great, thanks for the free service" and didnt pay them earlier, they'll bring it up and hold it against me. 

that's why those are so annoying; if they weren't putting you in an awkward situation with their coping, it wouldn't matter, you could just ignore their bs
