Wasted Opportunities: Asking for Something Then Not Using It

[wolram]

Is it bad to ask for some thing then not use it when you have it ?

 

[Kakarot]

no way that's how you get lots of free stuff

 

[kishtik]

It is bad because you are preventing the others who actually need it even if you buy it with your own money.

I think it depends.

I think it depends.

Well if some one, or even a group of people asks a favour, and the favour is
granted but not used.

Why should you ask for something when you're not going to use it?

May be you thought it would be cool to have it at the time, but later spent
your time doing other things.

How do you ask to have it?

Yep sure does, so why ask in the place.?

We seek insurance. We hope in most cases we don't have to use it.

We seek (some of us) guns for protection. I'd prefer NOT to shoot an intruder in my home.

The list goes on...

Perhaps because your ulterior motive is to prevent its current owner from using it.
