[Lord of the Rings] Has the One Ring ever refused to corrupt someone?

I don’t mean “has it ever been *unable* to do so.” I mean, has there ever been someone so stupid, lazy, annoying, or otherwise useless that the Ring simply saw no point in corrupting them?

The One Ring does make choices in who it corrupts it appears. Smeagol was with his friend Deagol when Deagol found the ring. But it was not Deagol that the ring focused it's corruption on, it was Smeagol, because Smeagol almost immediately killed his friend for the ring.
