There might be plenty of reasons for this, from the character having emotional attachment to the item or from simply disliking the other person and loathing the idea of relenting anything to him or her. It can be part of a hostage exchange or other unsavory deal, like blackmail. If what's handled is money and the person is notoriously stingy, the trope is even more likely to happen. The move being rather childish, it is often used to show that a character isn't very mature.

** On Jeremy James's birthday, Timothy gives him a flashlight which is also a compass, a magnifying glass, a ruler, and many other things. Timothy is extremely reluctant to part with it, saying it is for him. He finally surrenders it when Jeremy James points out his name on the label. Later, Timothy steals it back when nobody is looking. When he realises it is missing, Jeremy James's mum makes all the children line up in front of the sideboard, close their eyes, and wish very hard that the flashlight comes back, which it does. Jeremy James is well aware that his mum tricked him, but keeps quiet, having been threatened with losing all his presents.

* Played with in ''Series/LittleBritain'': One RunningGag is the tricky customer Mr Mann, who is unsatisfied with every item he would buy in Roy's shop, for spurious reasons such as a book having 312 pages instead of 306. When he is finally satisfied with a picture of a disappointed horse, Roy hands over the picture at the exact same moment as Mr Mann hands over the money; they tussle simultaneously, each reluctant to let go.
--> '''Mr Mann:''' (As an afterthought, as he is leaving) I can't help thinking that that horse looks disillusioned rather than disappointed.
--> '''Roy:''' Get out of my shop or I will strangle you.

There might be plenty of reasons for this from the character having emotional attachment to the item or from the character simply disliking the other person and loathing the idea of relenting anything to him or her. It can be part of a hostage exchange or other unsavory deal, like blackmail. If what's handled is money and the person is notoriously stingy, the trope is even more likely to happen. The move being rather childish, it is often used to show that a character isn't very mature.

A character has to offer a gift or surrender an item, plot-relevant or not, and handle it to another person. The decision is made, there's no turning around possible, but yet... he or she is very reluctant to cede this thing, and still stubbornly cling to it. Frequently, a short tug-of-war follows until the item finally changes hands.
