My friend's nephew just bought a house. I was helping my friend help him clean his carpets. It would have costed him $150 to hire someone. In the end, when I'm loading the carpet cleaner in the car he comes up and gives me $45 for my help. I say, "no, that's okay." He then insists. I try again..."no, that's okay". Then he said, "I'd feel bad if you didn't take it." So, I give in, and say "okay, thanks a lot." I didn't pocket the money, but just left it in my friend's car for now. What would you do in my situation. I really didn't expect payment as I was just helping out a nephew of a friend. Yet, I didn't want him to feel offended if I refused.
