accepting gifts from strangers
By ms venezuela •
hola!im just come back from flight.i want to ask your opinion on this.
im onboard three hours ago and the man on the flight asked me if i could get him newspaper.i smiled and when im come back to hand him the paper,he hands me a box,wrapped nicely.he tells me that its a gift for being nice.
im refuse to take the gift,but he is very honest,not take time for shout and not ask my number.
but im in guilt because im already engaged and he is not im friend.
im feel i cheat on my great love.
im send back the gift or not?he is telling he is staying on a hotel here in the country?
or i keep it?
my english is keeping me awake.
he appreciate what you've done for him and didn't ask any favor nor say silly thing to you so no big deal!
"It's time to free your mind, it's time to cleanse your soul...."
if you can share the gift & experience with your fiance, this wont be cheating anymore.

LOL muhammad84...his posts just seem so hmmm, forced!! ;)
yea labda i also have doubts or the existence of ms or i should say mr venezuela
muhammad84, you are absolutely right.:0)
how many times do I have to tell you people that ms venezuela is most probably a dude having a laugh at your expense. Gawd!!
Venezuela, throw the present out the window. Yes?
eagel,my point is simply that the partners or lovers should b open to each other and should b like friends.they should not hide anything from each other which in future might hurt sombody's feelings and creat misunderstanding between them.
muhammad84 said ...ur fiance might get angry by this....
but if u r hiding this then it sure is CHEATING"
Hmmm... but sometimes, it's not purposely hiding from the fiancee.. if my fiancee keeps nitpicking, instead of ttfn, it would be ttfe ... tata forever.

Eh.. and I thought I was the one with the strictly black and white mindset.. legalistically fundamentalist I'm supposed to be...
No, it is not cheating. What's the reality of the situation? If you are committed to your partner, that's the end of the matter.
He could just be offering you a token of appreciation so suggest you take that at face value... unless you think it might be a bomb or anthrax or something nasty like that...
give the gift to me instead of returning it to him
Hello,
Its a matter of commitment. If you think that this might affect your relationship, do n't take it. But I think you can take it and dun use it.
Wanted my every word to be understood by her, as much as I could...
Salam
happy happy, i assume you used google translator to write that in Spanish, didn't you?? *wink*
so, ms. venezuela, what did you do?? que hiciste al final chica?
a gift is a gift. no harm in accepting in one. besides, you're not liable in any way that stranger interprets that act.
AAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! "Miss caida de la mata"
well i think when u took the gift u should tell that guy that u cant take the gift from strangers as u r already engaged and ur fiance might get angry by this.if he still want to give the gift then there is no blame on u.as u didnt hide anything from him and tell the truth in the begining.also after accepting the gift u should also tell ur fiance about this and should not hide anything from him.in this way this is not cheating as u didnt hide anything from any of them.
but if u r hiding this then it sure is CHEATING
So, the rumours about air crew are TRUE!
'll pack a gift, next time I travel..
you know it's people like you that add fuel to the fire on stories about crew being easy lays,seriously,do you just lack a brain or did you leave it back in Caracas??...because it's completely normal for passengers to give crew gifts for doing their job right??...you accept the gift,then come on here & post a thread about it?? just when you think it can't get any more stupid,lo & behold,seriously, my sympathies with that poor sod you're engaged to,he doesn't have a clue does he?...welcome to the club hon,a large % of QR crew are skanky ho's who make a little money on the side anyways,weather in cash or kind,so you like the gift? find the guy @ the hotel he told you he was staying,'render your services' & voila! the gifts will just keep getting better hon & as long as your brasilian studmuffin doesn't know what's going on,it's a no problemo situation right?...God,what is with this country attracting the dumbest people on the planet?? seriously,is there a neon sign out there in outer space that we on the ground here can't see, that says 'stupid people welcome HERE'??...
Pleeeease accept this gift from me!
Yep, I have doubts about the veracity Miss V, too. Nobody is that full of herself. And the English mistakes she makes are not the mistakes I see in Spanish speakers using English.

Just wondering isnt this subject covered under their training course....
However, would go with Alexa...looks like a troll... just a few days back she had posted "Say No" thread...hmmm

You shouldn't have accepted it. The gift was already wrapped and he told you where he was staying!! Obviously he had a plan already worked out.
Give it away and forget about it.
Something to do with the High Flyer club, Brit. I hope the aeroplane won't tilt out of balance.
So the rumours about air crew are true ?????
I do think that gift is a trap. A pre-requirement for a greater plan. Not unless this person is really planning of giving gifts to all person that are nice to him. Next time never accept any gift if it will just make you feel guilty.
And if ever you plan of returning it. Have it returned by a friend. Or if you have to return it personally, just leave it to the front desk addressed to the person w/o any personal information from you.
Or you can make someone else happy, perhaps giving it as a gift to a friend.
Good for you its only a bracelet...
You could be in deep sh*t if its something else, like illegal substance.

Pero, Por Dios!, que hab'ia en la cajita?
Igual eran simplemente unos caramelitos y estamos aqui montando un espectaculo simplemente por un se;or al que le sobraba un regalito y pens'o en darselo a una amable se;orita que le pas'o el peri'odico en un avi'on!!!!
Ms Venezuela, si le apetece llamele, y si no le apetece no lo llame, yo creo que la infidelidad es un poco mas que simplemente intercambiar unas palabras con una persona....
But, for God Sake!, whats inside the box?
Maybe it was only some candies, and we are here performing an espectacle just for a gentleman with an spare candies box, giving it to a nice madam who gave him the newspaper in a plane!!!
Ms Venezuela, if you want call him, if you dont want, dont call him, I think that infidelity is a little more than simply chat with somebody...
War looking for peace,
is like fornication looking for virginity.
What kinda topic is that for God sake, no wonder really!!!

Don't keep the gift. It will be regards as token for any future bonds between you and him. Throw it out the aeroplane window or into my dust bin.
Did you open and see that gift? did you like it? if yes, meet him again and give him one more news paper then see that gift too, if you like that also hand over 10 news papers again to him wowowwwo you will have so many gifts hee hee hee hee heeeee
that you accepted the gift to be a polite person but according to airline rules you were just doing your job; so there is no need for gifts/rewards from any passenger.
Simple as that.
And like some have said so far please do not take anything from nobody.
Regards!!
PS: Por cierto si necesitas conversar con otro venezolano solo enviame un PM...saludos
If it's that important not to keep the gift, instead of returning the gift to him that you have already accepted. Why not pass it on to a colleague or friend who may need their spirits lifted.
Return the gift through the hotel's receptionist. That way, you won't have to see him again, and he can't have any excuse that you should keep the gift.
Just return it tomorrow, or have a friend of yours deliver it to the hotel's reception (if you've told anyone).
Keep your record clean, you'll be showered with plenty of gifts and more, always gently say "no thanks, I'm only doing my job".

oh ok , my bad didnt know that.
` c h i n g a A a l i n g `
im a going to get trouble because im took the gift?
its jewelry,senor adnan_nk,,,not for souvenir.
there's nothing interesting about looking perfect!
let's imagine this scenario together, that same man gets on the same flight again, and scandalizes her, or call the airlines and ruin her reputation? Would she be able to deny she took the golden pearly gift?
How about staying clean?
Salam
just have gift as souvenir and forget it.

This is how cheating and promiscuousness are invited to our lives, by justifying "free scores" and living cheap with no values of any kind, like parasites.
Common sense.
Salam
im think of that too,but im already decide im return the gift today,afternoon.
im sorry for the english.im getting there,one step,second step.
there's nothing interesting about looking perfect!
But you should not accept it from the first place, its ok now u will return the gift but it will look like maybe u r just afraid bcz someone saw u taking it? anyway its good idea that u r returning it but in future dont accept any gift from strangers,u take it and then return it?...better not to accept it instead of taking it and then think about and return it
I found the true life in Qatar!
It's not cheating if you accept a gift from someone. Show it to you fiance and have a laugh together over the free score you got. Show him how meaningless the gift is to you.
Never accept any gift/package/parcel from anyone while travelling. This particular person may not have any ulterior motive, but then again, you don't know them, you have not inspected the package, yet - you have it in your possession.
If you listen to any of the annoucements in any airline terminal anywhere in the world - you are told "do not accept any package from anyone"
don't be a dope or a dupe.

senora donosa,thank you for your advice.
im,awake,senora donosa and senor dracula,senora happy happy,,,im surprised all of you are awake...

Most probably this plane passenger had the gift wrapped and ready for occasions like this, he may have a couple more, which he must have done many times before and have informed you of what hotel he would check in and his name or at least his room number!!
It's pre-planned, an obvious one night stand?! If you keep this gift, what would you tell your partner when he sees it? Are you going to lie?
_______________________________________________
Probablemente la mayoría de este avión de pasajeros tuvo el regalo envuelto y listo para ocasiones como esta, que puede tener un par más, que él debe haber hecho muchas veces antes y han informado a usted de lo que hará la verificación del hotel y en su nombre o al menos su habitación número!
Es pre-planificado, una evidente una noche? Si mantiene este regalo, ¿qué le dirías a tu pareja cuando lo ve? Vas a mentir?
Salam
well, you shouldn't accept any gifts from strangers nowadays!
Be safe, please, you never know what the gift might be.
No deberías aceptar regalos de ningún desconocido en estos tiempos. Cuídate mucho, por favor, que nunca sabes lo que puede ser el dichoso regalo!
un beso
senorita dear, it's prayer day tomorrow.....all is forgiven.

Flan, mate: i told you do not buy 100 nos. of gold charm bracelets with pearls.
.

im good.thank you.
senora happy happy-im not going to regret im decision.
there's nothing interesting about looking perfect!
im praying for your soul that you will have your peace.
there's nothing interesting about looking perfect!
whatever you said...its your choice after all....just stating my opinion...

You will always be exposed to temptation, especially in your line of work, hang on to your good principles, and always respect your partner, in his absence and presence, equally.
I'm glad you will return it tomorrow to that jerk.
Salam

Obligado!

im returning the gift,maybe im go tomorrow with my friends, but im not leave my number.
im not going to accept gifts from anyone im not know.
im just going to tell this to my great love.
senor panda- im open the box and it is a gold charm bracelet with pearls.
thank you,senor dracula for im adviced for good people like you.
im in shock,,why there are malditos here in Qatar Living?
there's nothing interesting about looking perfect!
but senorita...we're put on this planet for a good time, not a long time.

Be careful when accepting gifts from strangers! They might have ulterior motives.If a stranger gives you something, he or she most likely wants something in return, and if you feel grateful, you're likely to respond.
.

now are you gonna tell us what's the gift or not :)
ms venezuela i assume u r frm venezuela, in tht case u r extremely gorgeous(based on all venezuelan gals i have seen).. every man will look 2 give u gifts whether u bring them paper or not so dont think too much about it and move on..
" Dont take life too seriously, you will never get out alive!!!"
im belief in good,moral thinking.that is why the question.
im not what you think im am.
there's nothing interesting about looking perfect!
im always thinking of what society,im friends with,the other senoras who get gifts from estrangheros,from passengers,for them no big deal.
im looking out for my great love who he is maybe not going to understand this if i tell him.
senora happy happy your suggestion is im thinking,very good idea.
there's nothing interesting about looking perfect!
No te preocupes! deberias saber que no hay nada de malo en aceptar un regalo y que no significa que estes enganando a tu novio, de todas maneras deberias comentarcelo y ponerlo al tanto... para que todas las cosas esten claras y no hayan mal entendidos en el futuro.
lol flan.. u took the words outta my mouth..
" Dont take life too seriously, you will never get out alive!!!"
it's a freebie......shag him.
You're unable to sleep and asking us this question, because you have a guilty conscience. It's your job to accommodate the requests of the passengers, you don't need a gift for brining the paper to a passenger.
Salam
what makes it a difference.???..why making a fuss of accepting a gift??
ms venezuela === there is nothing wrong when youre accepting a gift from this man( or any generous man/person in general)...there is no demand on the process, so why bother???....the society are just being judgemental that placing a big deal on this matter....
is it a crime now to be nice and be rewarded????
>>
Two suggestions,keep the gift and let it be.Ya don hav the feelings for this guy so move on with yr life. If it really bothers ya just do as Happy Happy said.
chill pill....its not compulsory to take a gift from a stranger..its up to u to take it or not. Just tell him he is a stranger.
Life is a play with out a script ...
ms venezuela, no you are not cheating. but I guess you should get a serious discussion with your half.
keep the gift and forget about him... thats what my corrupt mind will do..
" Dont take life too seriously, you will never get out alive!!!"
Yes, this is cheating.
Salam
im saying honest because he is not asking me my number
but he give his.
and one more thing,if im call him ,but no im not is it cheating?
there's nothing interesting about looking perfect!
SIMPLE...
dont wait for tomorrow...it is another day and irreversible..you cant waste the opportunity...strike while the iron is hot...
>>
Stop by the hotel's reception, give them the gift and make sure you've provided them with the correct name and the room number of the man. Leave a note, WITHOUT your signature or contact info, write something like "there has been a mistake".
Salam
ms venezuela, no worries! cheating is in fashion nowadys. but tell me how you can say that this STRANGER is honest?!
you all need to tell me if im cheating...im not going to ask for gifts to the senor.
there's nothing interesting about looking perfect!
which side are you?
just accept the gift, and give it to me, Joke only, snowhite is right,just be cordial with him and there's nothing to worry about because you will not see him anymore unless you are interested.
accept the gift and tell him thx...and say byeeeeeeeeee
brit put it right.. do tht and u will know wat 2 do..
" Dont take life too seriously, you will never get out alive!!!"
Keep the gift and look within yourself, because you're confused about your "great love"
