Pls How Do I Stop My Neighbors From Giving Me Food? by Tobihabeeb: 12:53pm On Oct 24, 2024
Pls its getting out of hand, i hardly eat outside. though we are in good times, they always pass food over to my place whenever they cook.

the truth about the whole stuff is that i throw the food away, i have told them in multiple occupations to stop but they won't.

maybe its because i do gift their kids things when they ask.

pls i cannot continue to waste their food in this trying times.

how do i tell them to stop. am no longer comfortable with it.

Like a commentor rightly said, pass the food to someone else who needs it. Receive the food, there are many hungry people on your street, gift them the food and attract heavenly blessings your way.

Wasting that food is evil. Their motive towards you might be pure after all.

Tell them you're going to be fasting for one month. That your church is doing fasting. Or you can even say 3 months fasting. At least they'll rest and later might stop.

If you are jobless and home all day, they think they are helping you but you think they want to poison or jazz you.

This life no just balance,.. funny thing is, this same neighbour who are being generous to someone who doesn't need their generosity might be ignoring people who need and will appreciate such gesture from them ..

Just don't let them see you trashing it.

Someone saw me trashed her food she painstakingly made.

I noticed our relationship scatter that day.

Instead of wasting it, why not stop to collect?

Simply reject it when they bring it and tell them you are not hungry. It's not that hard.
Re: Pls How Do I Stop My Neighbors From Giving Me Food? by abfelicity91: 3:19pm On Oct 24, 2024
Politely, reject the food at all costs and tell them you always had enough and almost everything, you never get to eat them all. In your explanation, tell them you think they shouldn't waste theirs too by bringing to add the one you already had in the kitchen. Polite about it

Simply tell them no, thank you.
And stop giving their kids gifts also, even if they ask you.

You know people that I don't like? Those who think they can give people things, but can't accept things from people.
I mean, who do you think you are?
What are you feeling like?

if this is how u see it am sorry, but the truth is that i hardly eat outside, i can take biscuit and mineral for one week without eating when am not at home.
