You know, I thought I wanted your old microwave but after two months I realized it was too big for my kitchen. Here it is again -- sorry to be an Indian Receiver.

Hey, Thanks for giving me back that gift I got you! I had thought it was the best present ever and I actually wanted one for myself, but once I gave it to you I couldn't ask for it back because then I'd be the Indian Receiver.

Etymological similar to Indian Giver, in which the act of gifting is rescinded. The Indian Receiver will return gifts received. Typically done in situations that the act of gifting is corrupted somehow, such as when the gift is a means to an end, to entreat favors, to coerce, and/or blackmail. Such gifts are more burden than boon, something perceived by the Indian Receiver.
“Isha is such an Indian Receiver. Every time I giver her a gift to emotionally blackmail her she gives it back. Can you believe the nerve of that girl?!”
“Yeah, you’re an asshole.”
“Yeah, you’re an asshole.”
