How do you react when someone gets you a worthless gift?

[STEVEN SEAGOLD]

I fucking hate it. I usually try and resell shitty gifts on ebay. A friend gifted me an electric toothbrush last year, despite the fact that I already had one. I let them know about it too.

If you don't know what to get me, just give me cash. Don't be a dumb ass about it.

You sound poor

 

[Lone Coyote]

I believe the correct answer is saying "thanks"

Your pretty harsh man. It's nice someone took the time to think of you and get you something. I'm happy with people just sending a card. Don't be selfish.

 

[RockstarChris]

You don't understand. You are missing the point.

I preempt that by telling people NOT to buy me anything, including cards. Or if they insist, a bottle of something and a handshake or hug.

Just curious, how old are you to be getting gifts? At some point you should put a stop to having birthday gift type parties. Not trying to be an asshole but gifts, like toothbrushes and such, should be given to children.

This is how you handle it

 

[CoolB]

Yeah I usually just say thanks. It's the thought that counts. There is always someone less fortunate then myself that can probably use the item or if it's completely useless then throw it out but regardless I'll always thank someone for at least trying to be considerate.

People feel obligated to give gifts so they buy whatever dumbshit they can for cheap just so they don't look like assholes ... there's no real thought or care put into it . The gift is more for them an knowing they did the right thing

 

[Jack Reacheround]

I usually send them a thank you card with uppercuts inside of it.

I guess I don't know what your getting at. I can only talk from personal experience. I just had a buddy get married and I sent him a $50 gift card in the mail as a wedding present. Turned out he was pissed off I din't get him something nicer since my wife makes good money. I was left feeling like wtf?? Really?? I guess you need to explain what the gift was and why it offended you.

Somebody is telling you to brush your teeth

"A caballo regalado no se le mira el diente" I dont know how the fuck to translate it but it fits

 

[Winter-John]

When it comes to gifts I tell everybody just to get me a bottle of Jack Daniels or a case of beer. People appreciate not having to spend their time fucking about buying presents

 

[Kardashians]

I never really get shitty gifts. Or maybe I do and I'm too appreciative of the fact that they got me a gift to realize it. Idk.
