Shit Christmas Presents

Postby theyahyahyahs on Thu Dec 21, 2006 5:29 pm

Hi guys,

Just got wind of the fact that a present my little sister has got me is pretty shit. I have asked her whether she is joking about the present being sub standard and i ahev informed her that she still has time to take it back and get me something better but she doesn't seem to want to budge. I just hope she is lying as i have never had a shit present before.

Have you guys ever got a shit present? If so did you pretend to like it when you opened it? I have already warned her that if it does end up being shit (when opened) that i will not pretend i like it, and i will tell her straight up to her face that it's not what i wanted and thus shit. I hinted at the fact that i will feel around for a while (whilst it is still wrapped up) and if it feels shit i just will toss it in the corner, under the settee or simply back under the tree. It's just really annoying.

I don't think being ungrateful like that is called for.

what's important is the price, not the sentiment with which the gift is given. hasnt the commercialisation of the holiday taught anyone that?

and im curious about what a "sub-standard" present is. based on your previous posts i would assume it is only to do with cost but something you dont want can be very expensive, i dont want the Faroe Islands but im sure they would cost a fortune if someone was to buy them. :P

So someone asked me "What is it you do?". I thought about it for a minute. Then I thought about it a little more. All the while I probably looked like I was staring in to space, struggling for an answer. And I was. There was only one response I could really give.

Come on guys. You are telling me not one of you has ever got a shit present that you didn't want? Look, in the long run i am actually helping her out. This way she will get me something better and will not have wasted her dollar and consequently she will see me happy. I would not be offended if she said to me that she had heard i had bought her something shit and she wanted it changed.

Suck it up! There are some out there that dont get a thing for christmas. Take the gift and be greatful she thinks enough of you to get you anything at all.

I have had plenty of sucky gifts in my time but I have smiled and said thank-you and that was that. Because I knew that they love me and mean well.

Shit presents are anything with cats on them. I don't dislike cats, but I don't want cat merchandise for Christ's sake.

Saying that. I'd still cherish the present I secretly loathed because I'd value the person who gave me it.

As long as I have sugar mice in my stocking, I'm happy.

I got a desk set once. I was only about 13. I felt like poor Todd Anderson. (it was only my first though).

I always seem to get toiletries, notebooks and scarves etc. I don't mind getting these, but I don't need them. I'm still trying to use toiletries from Christmas 2004.

u are right yahyahyah, shit presents are WHACK....i despise them for 2 reasons, 1. they are shit, and i dont want them, 2. it shows that the person giving them either doesnt know me very well (unlikely in this case) or simply CAN'T BE ARSED/DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH DOLLAR to get a decent present. both of which are un-acceptable.

How disgusting for people to not HAVE ENOUGH DOLLAR to buy amazing Christmas presents for every person they are expected to.
Perhaps they should be shot as those below a certain income bracket are no better than cattle anyways.
