Ever gotten a gift that you would have liked if something about how or when you got it or if your situation was different.
For example... this last christmas i got a 3d puzzle globe and i thought hey pretty cool, but then my brother, his fiance, and someone else all got the same present. All of us have different interests and the others prolly didn't like it at all. The thing is that gifts like these make me hate christmas as they pretty much say "i'm only doing this cuz i have to" It shows they put no thought into it and just picked up the first thing they saw for everyone around the same age.
Another Example of this is...I got some weights, weight lifting weights, and i had mentioned wanting them...but thing about them was that i had and still have no where to place them or use them. When these people got me these they knew i had limited space and nothing and noone to help with working out and they asked continuously for a number of years about them. It's not hat i didn't like the gift in this case either...it's that they simply didn't think it through and wasted money on something worthless with the situation.
yet another example is when i was young i asked about violin lessons, and before that martial arts lesson, and so my grandma got me piano lessons and then when i said i didn't want to take them she insisted i continue taking them for 3 years. While i do like the piano and would love to take it up now she continuously is on me about stopping and keeps saying that i asked for them when i asked for violin which lead to the piano and before that and more adamantly martial arts v.v so while i would have liked it had she discussed it and not forced it on me..the forcing just ruined it.
sooo...anyone else ever receive a gift that is just a little off, but had that one thing not been there you would have loved the gift...
