Re: s/o Gifts you hate (click poll)

  • I act reasonably gracious.  My XMIL would NOT hide it if she didn't like her gift.  She would stomp around like a little girl.

    On another note, you were in my dream last night, OaF.  Although it was very nice to finally *meet* you, people were trying to kill us and we were running away.

    OMG LOL! That is hilarious (and also scary, apparently).

    Did we live?

  • I don't get over the top, but I do say thank you and possibly say how I may use the gift.

  • Yeah, somehow we got parted and I got 'captured' by this army who was trying to kill us.  But once they captured me, for some reason I wasn't scared.

    I don't know, it was weird.  I have vivid nightmares at least 4x/week.  You don't  often have a cameo in them though!!

    You had super cute jeans in the nightmare, but you were barefoot.

    Yesssss, cute jeans! Haha. Today I am a total schlep though because I'm doing laundry and packing.

    Well, I am glad we both made it out alive. But I'm sorry you're having regular nightmares :/

  • If it is from someone who isn't close to me I will smile and say thank you and leave it at that. If it is family or someone who should know better I will ask wtf they were thinking or be like yeahh this isn't my style or whatever.

  • First note that this story happened in south alabama near the beach.  Where BIL was living.  There are NO gangs where he lives. 

    Last year I got BIL a red jacket.  He needed a new jacket.  After he opened it he handed it back and told me to get one in blue bc he could never wear a red one.  Apparently I didn't get the memo that crypts can't wear red.  To my luck he was locked up again before I had the chance to exchange it and I was able to get a full refund and spent it on a red sweater for myself.  I've had never had anyone tell me that they didn't like a gift I got them.  But this year I have been sure to ask all my family members if they were blood or crypts before getting their presents.  It was obnoxious when it happened but now its funny as helll.

  • Usually it's just my mom, she gets me random stuff from Mexico sometimes that you can't return, so I just pretend I like it and then throw it in the back of my closet haha. It's the thought that counts :)
