[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a cousin who buys decent-quality clothing, and passes on stuff that is in great condition. I happily say thank you and accept what she offers.

Her sister is borderline-hoarder and gets buckets of clothes from the most random places, like T-shirts from convenience stores and worn-out clothes from swap meets: we are talking the level of clothes that honestly should be taken to textile recycling, and not to Goodwill. I decline what she offers, because I don’t need the chore of driving to the textile recycling facility in our county.

Do you people get that maybe if someone is declining hand-me-downs, [b]it is not because they overall don’t appreciate hand-me-downs, it’s that they don’t want their kids wearing stained “I’m A Little Ripper” graphic T-shirts from actual gas stations?[/b][/quote]

I mean, based on the responses here, it actually sounds like it could be either one.

I have gotten some great hand-me-downs, also some not so great ones.  I just donate whatever I don't want.  Maybe I turn down hand me downs from that person in the future, bc I don't want the hassle of having to go through them.  But I'm not offended, and I don't get why people are.[/quote]
