Q: What's the biggest piece of crap gift you've received or come across this year?
The wife picked up something for our three year old that impressed me it was so bad. It cost 59 yuan (a day's wage for half this country) when it should have cost 3 and it was a 'make your own town' kit, made up of a few bits of card with pics of houses on, some sticky tape with road lines on, a few road signs to colour in (complete with clothes pegs to hold them up), and three coloured pens. It was sad, kids might have rich imaginations but this was just crap wrapped in plastic. And some kid somewhere must have gotten this as a main present.
Boy: "What is it, Dad?”
Dad: "That, son, is the greatest gift you can get; it's the gift of imagination."
Boy: "But I wanted a 'Hot Wheels' race track."
Dad: "Shut up, you got imagination."
often when you get a big box of imagination, you end up playing with the box more than the imagination

That's what Tigger did in that Winnie the Pooh story, isn't it? Played with an empty box on his birthday? Broke my heart that story did. But PS: Why's he called 'Pooh' anyway? I mean seriously, Pooh; what else does that mean in any language except.....you know, big-jobs? Would those stories have touched the hearts of so many and been so successful if they'd been called 'The Tales of Winnie the Turd'? When are serious questions like this going to be addressed by the world media? Makes me mad, that's what it does. Mad, mad, mad.

thx Santa :-p
Well,
We had a secret Santa thing going on with the foreigners... and people were getting decent gifts. We all agreed that the gift should range from 50-100RMB in cost. People were opening alcohol, puzzles, travel guides, blenders, tea sets etc.
I open up my gift and it is a god damn crappy 5 yuan winter cap (maybe 10 RMB at the most). I was like wtf... and tried to be polite as possible while still making it obvious that someone screwed up. I don't even wear winter caps...
How does your Secret Santa work? Are the ppl privvy to their target?
...whatever happened to gratitude?
Shining_brow:
Sorry, but just because someone gives you something, you do NOT need to be grateful for it! After all, I'm sure you wouldn't be particularly thankful for being given Ebola...
