I don’t want your garbage

Another man’s trash is not my treasure. An old studiomate used to leave his garbage on my desk as an “act of kindness.” Instead of making the effort to throw it away himself, he’d say “Oh I thought you might want this?” After asking him not to do it anymore and leaving this work up for months...He never got the message.
