Old clothes sent by others can be received, but these "3 things", no matter how close the person is, you must also consider carefully!
In our daily lives, it seems to be a common act to accept old things as gifts from friends and family, which reflects the intimacy and mutual help between people. However, there are old things, despite good intentions, that can become a burden in our lives. But these "3 things", even if they are given by someone close to them, must be carefully considered, so as not to bring us unnecessary troubles.
Let's see, have you ever encountered this kind of problem in your life?
Old toys. I have a friend Xiaotong whose child is five years old. Once, her relatives sent a box of old toys, saying that they were for Xiaotong's children to play with. The toys look old, and some of them are damaged, and some even have stains. Xiaotong felt very embarrassed, she didn't want her children to play with these potentially unhygienic toys, but she didn't know how to refuse.
Old toys may not be a good gift option, they may be a safety hazard, and they may not be appropriate for the child's age.
Old appliances. My neighbor, Mr. Zhang, recently moved and a friend of his gave him an old refrigerator. Mr. Cheung originally thought it was a good intention, but after using it, he found that the freezing function of the refrigerator was not ideal, and it consumed a lot of electricity. He was torn between a dilemma: continue to use the refrigerator, the quality of life will suffer; Throw it away, and feel sorry for your friend's thoughts.
Old appliances may hide problems that we can't see, so we must accept them carefully before accepting them.
Old shoes. I saw a story on the Internet about a woman who received old shoes from a relative, and although the shoes still looked new, she always felt uncomfortable in her heart. She worries that the shoes may not fit properly, or that they may carry bacteria (athlete's foot or something) that can infect people.
Old shoes may not be a suitable gift because they involve personal hygiene and comfort.
Personally, I believe that when accepting old objects, we should take into account the practicality, safety, and personal feelings of the items. If old things may be problematic, we should learn to tactfully reject them. At the same time, we should also avoid giving away items that we no longer need, especially those that may cause distress to others.
