Unwanted gifts - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Prutnick · 05-22-2008, 07:50 AM

Speaking of unwanted gifts, I am happy that I never got anything I didn't want to have. Of course, some of those things were useless to me, but I've never felt I have to return it or say ,,It sucks". I have a pretty nice situation, because when somebody from my family asks me what I like, I just respond: money. And that's how I always have the gift I want. :]

(I know, it's not the same like getting a nice little thingie).

But I can recall the first year of secondary school, when we bought each other presents for 6th of December. One girl bought my friend a cup, shaped in... a body of a man, with genitals. It was so gross. He said he left it somewhere in the attic, but I belive he threw it away on the way home from school. I'd do the same, though.

Well there's that old Burger King "Big Bumpin'" game for the 360 that's collecting dust somewhere in my basement....I got it for Christmas a year or so ago and I still haven't bothered opening it. I heard "Sneak King" was pretty good though. Otherwise I stand by my opinion: Fast food franchises and video games just don't mix. That's why McKids was such a commercial failure.

I can't recall any unwanted or less than stellar gifts off the top of my head. I'm pretty easy to buy for, I suppose. I don't like the idea of "gag gifts" that aren't followed by a real gift, though.

I remembered another...Okay, everyone knows I am a coffee junkie. I talk about it all the time and drink it every day. So my boss got me in the Secret Santa, and he gave me this tea gift set thingie. I hate most tea and usually avoid it altogether. When I opened it he was all, "You love tea right??" I'm an honest person, and I said, "No, I love coffee, but this is nice." (It was nice.) But did he let it go? No. He went, "You love tea." I looked at him. "Coffee." "TEA."

He was actually trying to make me say I loved tea so it wouldn't look like he got me the wrong thing.

I wouldn't do it.

Lol, he was a dip.

I got dinosaur themed bedding, it's nice and all but the problem is that I have PLENTY of bedding already.
