Would you take a gift from a stranger?

No. Even assuming the very best of intentions, I’ve just purged my possessions due to space limitations in my new home. I’ve had to throw away stuff I actually like. The chances of the gift’s being anything that I would even slightly want is slim at best! So, the only reason to accept the gift would be politeness, but that is overridden by the weirdness of the situation.

Chances are pretty good that acceptance of the gift would trigger solicitation of money. No thanks!
