I figure it’s about 50-50 for me. People buy some ridiculous things as gifts, mostly out of desperation to buy something.

These come in several categories:

  • WTF: the giver is clueless or even malicious
  • Other people’s aspirations: gifts they think will make you a different, “better”, person
  • Meh: no explanation necessary
  • Hmm: seems like a good idea, just not for you

    Then be an adult and tell them not to get you anything?

    I don’t know what the issue is.
