THE AWKWARD GIFTS MEME
THE AWKWARD 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 what I mean.
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.
