So I have been introduced with the Charlestonian custom of turning down an offer twice/thrice before accepting it. Hello!! This is circa 2006! What happened to genuine emotion and sincerity?? How can you have ruddy donkey punching and whatnotting be considered cool and have issues with someone accepting someone's offer of help (the first time round?))????
I think this is a cultural gap that I can't bridge. Why make an offer of help if you aren't sincere about it? I don't get it..
Just been informed today that apparently this is only involved in case of offering/accepting help/money/whatever.. does not apply to invitations... OK...(hmmkay...)
Mercifully not stranded in the seaward C-word any more!!
