I got shafted

in my IRL SS with 6 other people. It's schitty to do to people, but sometimes it happens. They forget, or some insane bill they weren't expecting gets thrown in their hands or whatever.

Have you ever gotten the shaft IRL, or is this strictly because we're all middleaged balding men sitting in our Mother's basements?

Re: I got shafted

  • This is the only SS I'm apart of. It makes me happy because otherwise I feel left out.
  • No but one year MIL got H a gift card to a gas station for his birthday.  The gas station was less than a mile away.  I was 10-1 that she forgot his birthday. I will never let her live that down.

  • I haven't been shafted since Thanksgiving.

    I haven't been shafted since Thanksgiving.

    and you enjoyed every minute of that shafting.

  • I never participate in SS because I live in mortal dread that I will end up shafting someone.  I'm a freak like that IRL, too.  I keep extra presents wrapped at the house in the closet with post-its on them to tell me what's in them in case I forgot someone or we end up with a random guest.  Just a wee bit neurotic, yes?

    I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
  • We did a secret santa at my office and we exchanged yesterday. I got my SS a candle from anthropologie with her first initial on it. I got a reed diffuser, and I was super happy.

  • We draw names in my family, but it isn't secret.

    My office did a SS a few times, but they quit because of the shafting issue, although I never had a problem.

  • I've never been shafted IRL, but I tend to give better gifts than I receive.

     

    Example: The last SS we did at school, I got a Santa mug with some kisses. Yes, there was a $10 limit. Not, that I didn't use my mug or appreciate the gift, but I know $ Tree merchandise when I see it.

  • We did SS when I was in middle school/high school, but this is the only one I've done since then.

    BFF in MO just had one that she called "Friendsmas" that I might have to steal next year. I haven't bought gifts for friends in several years, just haven't been able to. But this way our close group of friends could atleast exchange gifts in a SS way.

  • I could use a good shafting. 

    I do a SS with my friends that I met on my local board (we haz our own sekrit board w/ about 15 ladies) and we have a big Chrismukkah party every year.  It's so much awesome.  I got a cool book on printing with things like potatoes & linoleum.
