Need help with DH's weird co-worker.

[Beth76]

OK, so maybe the co-worker isn't weird. I don't really know him, but here's what he did. He gave my DH a CD of his. This guy is in a Christian Rock Band and I guess they made a CD. Well, DH has absolutely no interest in christian rock, but he took the CD anyway to be polite. Well, later in the day the guy told him that the CD is $10!!!! I said, "Well, you gave the CD back, right?" And DH said, "No, but I didn't give him any money yet." I told him that he shouldn't pay for it, to give it back. This guy just handed my DH the CD and never said anything about paying for it. But, DH is feeling funny about the whole thing and doesn't want to hurt the guys feelings by saying he doesn't want to buy it.

It's not like $10 is going to break us, but I'm just mad that this guy basically just forced my DH to buy his CD (one that we won't listen to) and deceitfully, at that. Not a very Christian thing to do if you ask me. What should he do about this?

Just say No thanks. Not my cup of tea.

Yep, it was an underhanded thing to do. I'd say, no thank you and just hand it back.

He doesn't owe that guy anything. If he'd ask if your hubby would listen to it and if he liked it, it would be $10, that would be understandable, but that doesn't sound like how it went.

I'm a believing Christian and I think the co-worker
should NOT have done anything like that!
Whether or not anyone is a Christian has
nothing to do with it, actually, it's just plain
deceptive...
But, the co-worker is doing a lousy job of
being the Light of Jesus when he does something
like that...
Hope your husband doesn't give him any $$,
and that he (perhaps gently) will explain why.
