offering a drowning man a glass of water

doing something that you think is helpful but that only makes the situation worse

She was trying to explain the situation simpler, but it was just like offering a drowning man a glass of water.

make you an offer you can't refuse

1.make someone an offer and give them the choice of accepting and living, or refusing and dying. Taken from "The Godfather" trilogy.
2. Same as above, but instead of killing them, you take(kill) something or someone very dear to them.

The band-leader refused to let Johnny Fontane out of his contract, so Don Corleone made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

I respectfully request to decline your offer!

What can politely spoken in many situation’s you want “NO” involvement with them on any level i.e. Job, family situation, business opportunity, a known unesassary medical treatment/test to make a “Dr.”, a quick Buck for there new BMW/Million Dollar home/Boat/whatever Praise/Prize their after for “themselves,” with a new medical drug it pulled on from a pharmasuitical Co., and ignoring paitent care to speak for an hr on the product, taking away time away from the paitent to “SELL/SELL OUT” what you built the practice to do in the first place i.e. Save peoples lives! Sales Rep’s that push their $100-a couple $Thousand product that is likely to break in a month W/ a shitty contract or warranty that doesn’t hold it’s water with the toilet paper it was printed on. Just letting them know you will not their next money making scam or victim to prey on to make that “Money,” while You own family suffers the consequences. This is how you Reply and just walk away.

Sir, Your Co. is in bed with some pretty dirty people and I respectfully request to decline your offer.

Dr. I see your sales coming off more than my personal treatment and these meds., made me feel worse than I did before I started treatments. I respectfully request to decline your offer for further treatment. Thank you for your time.

Mr. Doe, I don’t feel that it takes a gang, It takes an honest man 7 years to prove what a dishonest man with a team choose to make up in 30 mins to make a dollar over some ones head. I respectfully request to decline your offer!

Man: Lady, I love, you are my world, I’ll always miss you. We should have made so many more good memory’s together and I can’t stand another day with out you. I did this all for you! NEED to be “together forever.” We belonge together!

Lady: What you did is for your ego and self alone. You’re a bad example of a person and a cheater. A back stabbing horrable ex that had no problem sleeping with many of his so called friends girlfriends and wives while saying how much better you would be for them. Then dumping them for their best friends after you knocked her up and ran telling her to have an abortion againsed her own principals. What you did is loose your respect for others, my trust and faith in you as a person, and true dignity a long time go to basically harm before helping out people. We are nothing alike and I don’t care about your money or college degree. “I respectfully request to decline your offer,” on account that “I” worked my ass off to support a family you helped destroy. I love and respect them more than selling out to a sleeze bag hax. I’m with the true, simplistic, real man of my dreams and nothing you say will ever hold water with me.

These types feel you have to ask them, before you make any choices on your own behalf. This is how you reply and just walk away.

Mr. Doe, I don’t feel that it takes a gang to prove a point you made up to suit your bank account. It takes an “honest” man 7 years to prove what a dishonest man with a team choose to make up in 30 mins to make a dollar over some ones head. I respectfully request to decline your offer.

She now has love and respects them more than selling out to a sleeze bag hax that thinks himself a god.

Gwen offers to help him but he declines the first

Ben/Gwen shipper.
the Ben/Gwen shipper is based on the characters Ben Tennyson and Gwen Tennyson cousins from the hit cartoon series Ben 10. yes i did say "cousins", though some might see it as incest and disgustingly disturbing i don't and the shipper makes perfect sense. at the beginning of the show, the cousins find out that they are going to be on vacation together with grandpa max for 3 whole months. at first that was pure hell for both but as the show progressed bringing out more seasons, the hate turned into a strong bond of friendship and i say love. they still bicker with one another and call each other "doufous" and "dweeb" they still care for each other stronly. you don't have to agree. apparently cousins understand each other more than possibly best friends would. (and no i don't have a crush on a cousin).

in the episode My Big Fat Alien Wedding, when Ben's told he has to dance and complains that he can't, Gwen offers to help him but he declines the first. later in the RV, when Ben is practicing to dance, Gwen catches him and offeres to help. he declines again but when Gwen explains to him that she can help him not to look like a dofous, he agrees. if you closly, you can see that both cousins are enjoying the moment until it's ruined by grandpa Max.

in the tv movie Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix, when Gwen is captured and pressumanbly dead Ben is heart broken, shattered and devistated. he tries to open the hatch where she disappeared but it wont open. later on towards the end of the movie, when we see two planes crash, Ben sees that Gwen is alive because it looks like he has a look of love on his face. he's in tears and runs to her hugging her lovingly and she hugs him back also lovingly.
