  1. "Worthless for you" != "a shame"
  2. You want to compare? Fine. Must then everyone else want to compare? Of
course not.
  3. If someone gives you for free something you don't need, will you say "it's
a shame you gave me this thing I don't need"? Or would you rather say "thanks,
could you please also give me that for the gift is more useful for me"?
