Give someone an inch and they take a mile. This proverb describes someone who abuses a small act of generosity, using a minor concession as an opening to demand or take much more than was offered. In Argentina and Uruguay it is a warning about being too generous with people who do not know their limits.
“I lent him the desk for a day and he took over the whole room: give them an inch and they take a mile.”
“Don't be so generous with that person, they will take advantage.”
