However sometimes it's best to pick your battle. IMO the nagging is the far more intrusive and ongoing issue than the money involved. Over participation in this case is an effective and immediate way shut it down. | |

| Mar 4, 2018 at 18:28 | comment | added | Tony Ennis | @minix I was speaking mostly of taunting the nagger with the money, or actually giving him any. | |
| Mar 4, 2018 at 18:16 | comment | added | Minix | @TonyEnnis OP doesn't want to be monitored, so unless the nagger keeps a list and counts, the matter should be resolved. | |
| Mar 4, 2018 at 2:04 | comment | added | Tony Ennis | This is a bad answer. The OP does not want to participate. The nagger's nagging is the problem. | |

| Mar 2, 2018 at 7:02 | comment | added | Mast | I'd probably do this as well, just to shut them up and see how they would possibly recuperate from such a move. Joke's on them. | |

| Mar 1, 2018 at 21:28 | comment | added | user42180 | I upvoted this suggestion, because I like the idea of putting yourself in the black for awhile. It's probably the approach I would use. However, I'd recommend being understated rather than using a "giant and flamboyant" gesture, and I certainly wouldn't put it anywhere near is face. Sometimes understated speaks louder than grand. | |
