Beggars Can't Be Choosers

(when a person has nothing, he or she must accept whatever help is offered)

What's up, Jennifer? I heard you were in a little accident the other day.

Yeah. This guy bumped into the back of my car when I stopped at an intersection.

Was there much damage to your car?

Well, enough that I had to leave it at a body shop for several days.

How did you get around?

The shop gave me a "loaner", but it ran very poorly.

For heaven's sake! Why did you accept it?

Beggars can't be choosers. I needed another car until mine was repaired, so I had to accept whatever the shop offered me.
