THE AWKWARD/JUST SHITTY GIFTS MEME PRESENTS! Maybe it's the holidays. Maybe it's someone's birthday. Maybe it's your anniversary. Maybe one of you just felt the need to get that certain someone a gift, to show how much you care. And how bad you are at gift-buying. There's the rub -- this gift? It's... not what they wanted. It's not something they ever considered wanting, and now it's in front of them and, wow, why don't they look like as excited as you expected? ROLL YO NUMBER (1 through 8) The thread starter isn't necessarily the person receiving the gift. Do whatever you want. 1. UGLY SWEATER You know. 2. I DIDN'T GET YOU ANYTHING Totally slipped my mind! Sorry?? 3. IT'S INTERESTING BUT... It's something like getting a tube of toothpaste in your stocking at Christmas. How do you even react to something so out of left field? 4. I MADE THIS FOR YOU It's hand made. The sentiment is really sweet, but -- what is this supposed to be? 5. THAT'S NOT WHAT I ORDERED Online shopping isn't always reliable. What they just opened isn't what you thought you were buying! Maybe you should have checked the box first. 6. OBLIGATORY AWKWARD SEXUAL OPTION Condoms or something, go wild. 7. SOCKS Well, you wear socks, so getting more makes sense, right? 8. ETC Something else???? Go for it.

Did you follow the one that said it's culturally insensitive to give socks to a dude who lost his legs in the trenches? I should sue your ass for psychological damages.

[He stops trying to squeeze John's enormous doofus melon head in there and examines it again.]

You borrow Rose's needles for this?

[dupable]

That doesn't count when you chose to give up your own legs. Besides, I only made one so you could use it on your tail thing.

[ Oh uh... ]

Yeah?

[crowsicle]

[He sticks his hand inside, looks for holes.]

I'm surprised they didn't spontaneously combust in your face for being so grossly mishandled.

[Well. It's soft.]

[dupable]

It was just her normal needles! I didn't use the magic ones, that would have been so stupid.

You mean it's not going to turn me into a tangerine tentamonster? I'm almost disappointed.

[Nothing else for it. He slides the spectacular monstrosity onto his tail.]

[dupable]

I'll make sure to curse the next sock I make for you.

[ A grin. Look, it fits! ]

[Does a little supermodel turn to show all sides of the ugly piece of crap.]

You don't have to make me another one, man. I'm never gonna take this one off.

[ Snorts. It's too bad Jade isn't here right now, she'd probably clap for him instead of just laugh at him. ]

Wash it sometimes, dude, Even if you don't have to walk, it'll still get gross if you don't.

You mean it's not a magical self-cleaning piece of shit like your windsock? I think I got gypped.

[dupable]

I know, life is hard. You actually have to clean your clothing!
