And if you think those are bad, read Redditor halfmoonspectacles‘ story of a highly insulting Christmas gift.
“For Christmas a few years ago my fiancé’s parents got me a $10 gift card to Barnes and Noble. I’m a very polite and grateful gift receiver, it’s the thought that counts, right? A $10 gift card doesn’t seem so bad, after all. I hugged them and thanked them as profusely as I would have if they had handed me $100. Which, incidentally, is what they did with my fiancé’s sibling’s significant others. Along with a $50 gift card to the same bookstore. So they gave her brother’s girlfriend and sister’s fiancé $100 cash and a $50 gift card to Barnes and Noble. Here’s the kicker: while sitting around with the family I happen to check my email. Barnes and Noble is running a special for Christmas. Buy $100 worth of gift cards and get an additional $10 gift card for free.”
