God, I hate this, having something pushed under my nose and when I tried to take it in my hand to have a better look, it is taken away.
It was a sure-fire way to make me angry or sad when I was a child. You know these people who like to make kids reach for something and then withdraw it from their reach? Well I was a spoilsport at that. They pretend they want to give me a chocolate, for an example, I reach out for it, they take it away - and then I firmly turn my back to them and go away - and possibly dissolve into tears seconds later - but wouldn't play the grab game. I wouldn't try a second time even if my life depended on it.
Personally I solved that problem for myself by not taking anything straight away that people might give me. I ask whether it is for me and if it is not, whether I might take it in my hand to have a better look at it and only after I've cleared this out I take whatever it is.
