Shit Christmas Presents

[exnihilo]

Am I the only one who finds this use of "dollar" to be intensely irritating?

[nighteyes]

I'm with you on that one.

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.

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.

X old boy, how are you? Haven't seen you in ages.
At last someone agrees with me on this. The thing is, there is no reason for my sibling to have no dollar. There is no excuse for anyone i know really. Furthermore it is a practical issue. I know i won't use the present she has got me so i think she would rather it be changed instead of laying about in my master bedroom.
Thanks for all your help so far chaps.

erm....no one said you have to ue it. besides, have you told her what you want? surely you could just buy whatever it is you actually want like the rest of us?

Yes i told her what i wanted Rob. But she couldn't be further off the mark with what she got me instead. Just to keep you guys up to date i have called a house meeting to clarify what i actually want this Christmas.

Thanks for all your help with this problem.

[Rob]

dude...that's probably a bit too far.

It's okay Dom everything is sorted out now.

I think there are way too many people here taking this whole thing too seriously. Whether the original poster was serious or not (and I believe not, at least not entirely), what's the point in working yourself up due to the fact that they would appear to be a heartless wanker?

In answer to the question - yes I have received shit presents before (a fucking magic set when I turned 19 [my birthday being 2 days before xmas], seriously) but all you can do is smile and sound sincere when you say thank you.

[Malcolm]

Wonder what the present was, anyway? I'll bet it was a platinum belt buckle or something.

[rob 'f*ck off' wine boy]

I suggest you throw the shit present AT your sister, aiming for her mouth (throw it really really hard). Then throw a temper tantrum, and skewer someone with the Christmas tree. Festive violence, market THAT for your dollar. The trick is to make them regret that they ever let you down...like my parents did...

[killbill]

well...what a day. i've spent hours shopping and have come back completely empty-handed.

i was trying to buy presents for all of my family, and found none of the things i set out to buy.

i have been reading this thread with some interest, and now it seems that my family might be dissappointed with my gifts.

my parents, in a last-ditch gesture, will be getting a case of wine: boring i know.

as for my sisters, i'm just gonna give them a couple hundred quid each- again boring boring, but what else can i do?

Where does one apply to be your sister?

DMC has no idea what to get his sister (wno he doesn't get on with) so he's decided to get her a very small island in the Galapagos archipelago.....apparently the sooner she moves out the better....

no offence but that's so fucking tight. an island is small beer, ffs money's meant to be spent. Rent France

I personally think that it's fucking hilarious that someone would call a house meeting to discuss christmas presents.

Basically, if I want something, I buy it. I expect my gifts at christmas to be either novelty, fun or unique. I don't expect people to shell out on me the grand piano I've wanted since I was 14, or whatever.

Cake, and fine wine.
