I purged my clothes recently and brought it in to see if my coworker wanted anything. Some of it was new, never even worn.
She picked through, grabbed what she thought would fit her or that she liked and turned the rest back to me. I wasn't offended. I just gave the rest to charity. No biggie.
your co-worker is normal ~ i'm not that lucky
i returned them to her and thanked he for being so thoughtful and told her they were lovely but did not fit ~ so all day she gave me the silent treatment
Be honest & somewhat-apologetic when you tell her that you tried them on and they don't flatter your figure.
She's probably feeling good about herself, thinking that she's helping you out (she probably thought that you were being modest or shy when you kept saying no).
If she's a normal human being, she won't take offense at you not wearing something that doesn't look good on you.
Back-comb your hair, put on too much eyeshadow and just before you go and see the woman, sprinkle some pepper in your eyes.
Give her the bag with all her clothing in and tell her you had a bit of trouble with it all. Say that you put on all her clothes and went out for the night for a good time. Explain how you were followed by 'little people' dressed as elves for over two hours. Say that you tried to lose them but at every corner you turned, more showed up. Say that you were afraid of the elves and ran to a policeman for help. You were arrested on the spot as you fit the description of one of their most wanted. You spent the night in the cells, along with 14 of the elves that were roped in too.
Then start the tears.
As soon as she reaches out to comfort you tell her they did things to your back door that you didn't like. Not at first anyway. Say you escaped and ran to work but that the police were bound to be looking for you. Tell her you think it would really be a bad idea to keep the clothes. Thank her for her charity and tell her if you want to dress up like Mrs. Doubtfire in a nuthouse anytime soon you'll let her know.
if you r ever looking for work in Sydney i shall employ you and you can sit with her
this is hilarious! Is she a psych patient? Why would she choose you out of the clear blue to give her old clothes to and then INSIST that you wear them? If that happened to me, my concern would be is she trying to send me a message about my fashion-sense?
i think u r right
and
it concerns me that she thought i would wear her stuff
i was being polite and said no thank you to her about 5 times
5 times? If thats the case just take em to te Gioodwill and if she asks you tell her that..since you declined 5 times already she shouldnt be offended.
its catchy
i gave them back because she loves them 2 much and i know if i gave them away she would have been pissed
tell them your case worker has asked you to stop accepting STUFF it's not helping your hoarding problem but she said it was OK if you can keep these new clothes at your co-workers house.
she lives 5 minutes away she would have been round every morning choosing my work clothes
Looks like one of those lacey tablecloths over a black t-shirt?
Fits you like a glove, I've never seen you looking so.. Oh hold on, I've never seen you.
I might pop over for some summer work next year. I could stay at my cousins in Byron Bay with the sharkies. I've got my work clothes sorted already. Purple mankini and a satchel for my packed lunch. I could wear brown leather sandals to tone it down a bit. Knee-length socks too? Can't have the place getting over excited.
I'd move house if I were you. Five minutes away? Mmm, what you doin the weekend? Mind if I pop round, we could go through all the crap I have in my loft. Must be something in there you'd fit into.

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.
Return them?? Why did u accept them in the first place?
Saying you have enough clothes or that they aren't your personal style is not rude, it's honest.
See. Why did she insist on giving them to you? Does she thinks you're in dire need or something?
When I was moving from my apartment to my house, I purged a whole car load of stuff. I told 2 of my coworkers I was cleaning out my closets and that they were welcome to come by to take what they would like. I had really good stuff, and when they were through, they had taken everything.
Now that I'm retired, I have the same problem. I need to get rid of all my work clothes, etc. I have several Kasper suits I've either never worn or worn once or twice. I have dozens of pairs of shoes that I've never worn. I plan to put a lot of the new things on Ebay and then donate the rest.
Damn talk about imagining things ! I see crosses, goats, lizards, flying ghosts, skulls, swans, etc in them patterns. Your co worker isn't into the Occult is she?
Seriously though. I don't like to hurt peoples feelings(unless they piss me off)so when i come into contact with someone that refuses my repeated attempts to decline an offer of clothing or food, ill take the gift but it will promptly end up in the garbage. I know that's kinda deceitful and wasteful but oh well.
