Por aquí, las mamás dicen: "El que no quiere, dos tazas pide".

Muy curioso, en una búsqueda en Google veo que hay muchas variantes de lo que se dice y se usa, desde 2 tazas, 3 tazas, la taza llena... buff... hay para tomar y dejar.

Me ha recordado también la expresión de "Dios le da pan a quien no tiene dientes" y la más popular y extendida en Spain: "Dios le da bragas a quien no tiene c*lo" que viene a decir que al que no necesita un don, pues no puede aprovecharlo, ahí lo tiene. Algo de la "ley de Murphy" o la "ley de Moraga"...
