'I was at a loss for words': 20+ Entitled people who acted completely ungrateful

Gratefulness doesn't come naturally to these people. Usually, people are taught from the time they're young that when someone gives you a gift , you should be thankful. Even if you don't like the gift, you should thank the person who got it for you. When they're five or under, kids tend to be brutally honest about the gifts they do or don't like, and it can be pretty funny for those around them. But when a teenager throws a fit because her parents bought her the wrong car? That's a whole lot le…

‘I’m gonna give your dog away': Woman gifts her sister and boyfriend a puppy but they break up, now the sisters can't decide who is responsible for the dog

You can divide the people of the world into two groups. The first group is people who see their pets as actual family members. People who think twice before they adopt an animal, and seriously consider all the factors of bringing in a pet inside their household. Once they do, that pet gets treated like any other family member, and is loved equally. The second group of people, and I'm sure you can see where I am going with this, are the people who see pets as just another piece of furniture in t…

‘I got her everything she didn’t like': Woman organizes gifts for coworker who quit in an attempt to settle the score

We all have that one coworker we can't get along with for the life of us. If you were given a chance to get back at them, would you take it? One person working at a microbiology lab got really petty when she learned that her coworker was quitting, and made sure to be the one organizing the goodbye gifts. She remembered everything that this coworker had ever said about products they did not like and got every single one of them. Why? Well, the coworker in question was doing very… questionable th…

'That should be the end of Christmas presents for her': Niece reacts to grandmother's presents that 'aren't what I asked for'

This kiddo is all but guaranteed to wake up with coal in her stocking next Christmas. Every generation eventually finds themselves wondering about the kids these days. They're living out such a different version of childhood than the one you had while growing up. No matter which generation you're from, you probably spent it in entirely different ways than someone who's 20 or 30 years your senior. Older generations grew up in an era where you spent all day outside, and when televisions had three…

'[A] case of toilet paper': 30+ People share the strangest and worst Christmas presents that they received this year

The holiday season has a large focus on gift-giving… Gift-giving as a means of showing your loved ones how much they mean to you through the thoughtful intent and meaning of the gifts. That's not to say at all that the best gifts are those that cost the most money. More often than not, it's the gifts that took the most time and show the giver understands you that mean the most. Unfortunately, while you may receive some gifts in your life that tick the boxes of a great gift, there will be plenty…

Merry messes: 25 Times holiday expectations didn't match reality

This holiday season , make sure to read the reviews before you buy your loved ones presents on that sketchy website. You know the kind: they advertise a beautiful blanket for $5, or a brand-new bike for $10. The prices make you narrow your eyes and wonder what the catch is. Well, the catch is that it's way too good to be true. The same is true of DIY crafts and baking projects. How hard could it possibly be to make some Santa Claus cookies or a Christmas tree puff pastry? Thanks to Photoshop an…

‘I refuse to accommodate her': Former mother-in-law refuses to attend Christmas dinner unless it's on ‘her terms’

Family Christmas dinners are either the event you most look forward to OR the event that you are wholeheartedly dreading every day of the year until December, by which time you accept your fate. One daughter-in-law, who for the sake of this story, we will call OP, feared the latter, as she was no longer with her spouse, and did not take a liking to his family at all. The mother-in-law, who we will call Karen, liked to scowl, drink, complain, and do things her way. She never went out of her way…

'Someone at work [felt] targeted': HR gets involved when joke about office 'White Elephant' exchange goes wrong

A joke?.. In this economy?! Regardless, you know it's a good joke when it's so good that HR wants to hear it. It's no secret that employers can be a little sensitive to derogatory statements about the quality of the work environment that they're providing for their workers—even if those statements are completely irrefutably accurate. This usually involves remuneration but also extends to other aspects of the workplace culture and environment. Basically, the method of operation in these workplac…

Who doesn't love a quality salami log or extra socks or a super soft blanket? It doesn't matter if it's from Target or Walmart. No one has to know. Because here's the deal: shopping for gifts over the Holidays is like a full-time job on top of your full-time job. Furthermore, I'm sure we can all agree that there are some people (most likely, your parents) who are literally impossible to shop for. They claim they have what they need or they're so particular that they won't likely use or wear wha…

‘Here you go, Mr. Gift Police’: Woman gets petty after brother-in-law enforces strict rules for family Secret Santa

Whatever happened to gift-giving being fun? These days, getting people gifts is about as frustrating and difficult as finding a job with health insurance. There are the people who are impossible to shop for, and then the people who demand items on their wish lists that are uncomfortably pricey. There are the people who don’t want to be festive in the slightest, and the people who go so over-the-top with celebratory decorations that you think you’re in some sort of dystopian version of the North…

'Christmas morning, I was ready': Newlywed overhears husband and in-laws dissing her, then plots husband's downfall for the next holiday season

The holiday season is a time to be with your family… unless you have to deal with these uppity in-laws. This family seemingly prioritizes tradition over kindness, and u/seriouslampshade was having none of it. In so many Christmas TV specials and movies, the message is clear: the holidays aren't about buying tons of stuff, they're about spending time with the people you love most. But apparently this person's in-laws never got that message . They're way more concerned with the way their gifts to…

'I don't need to buy [my coworkers] gifts': Employee refuses to participate in Office Secret Santa, gets into conflict with HR

Now that it's the Holiday season, we are unfortunately subjected to that time of year when we have to get gifts for more people than we'd like. The idea of having to participate in an annual Office Secret Santa on top of all that other shopping is truly too far. Thankfully, I have never been asked to participate in one, and honestly, thank goodness. I'm not quite sure what I've done in my life to deserve that luxury, but I'll take it. Knowing myself, if I were pressured to be a part of an Offic…

'My cousin gave me a picture of herself for Christmas': 15 folks share the worst gifts they have ever received

Not everyone is good at giving gifts. Obviously, for some people out there, it's their bread and butter. Their love language, if you will. If that's you, congratulations. However, the rest of us (myself included) were not born with the “good gift-giver” gene. As someone who was once gifted a dictionary and a pencil case holder for my 15th birthday, not to mention a DVD of Inside Out for my 21st birthday, I was not raised to be good at this. That's why when this time of year rolls around, I get…

Imagine the kind of level of desperation one would have to exhibit to draft a Santa Wish List letter as a 12-year-old child in order to get expensive Christmas gifts. These are the kinds of letters to nonprofit organizations where billionaires purchase Holiday gifts for underprivileged kids. These are the kinds of organizations that are meant for children in need, not fully grown choosing beggars with a whole lot of audacity.
