Real, you brought an extreme case to prove your point. So, how about a different scenario:
Yankel: Moshe, are you driving to Monsey?
Moshe: Sure. You want to come along?
Yankel: I was going to drive, but if you offer, I’ll take you up on it.
(an hour later)
Yankel: So when are you going?
Moshe: Oh! Yeah, in about 20 minutes.
(another hour)
Yankel: So when are you going? I’m going to miss the whole thing. I could have gone myself. Just let me know if going. If not, I’m leaving.
Moshe: Hey, I offered you a ride. Calm down. I told you, I’m leaving soon.
…
Moral: Beggars can’t be choosey.
