Christmas is a busy time of year for all of us so I thought a time saving checklist might come in useful...

  1. If you are "angry", "furious" or in any way irate that someone has given you or any member of your close family a gift - YABU.
  1. If you are "angry", "furious" or in any way irate that someone has NOT given you or any member of your close family a gift - YABU.
  1. If you are cross because someone has given you money - YABU.
  1. If you are cross because someone has NOT given you (or your children) money - YABU.
  1. If the presentation of a gift has made you rage - YABU.
  1. If you are considering returning a gift to the giver - YABU.
  1. If the choice of gift does not meet your approval - YABU.
  1. If you are considering destroying and / or returning a Christmas card - YABU.

YABU if you think they have spent too much and YABU if you think they are Scrooge like. (and unreasonable if they gave a goat to someone else)

Rule 1 = MIL is unreasonable whatever she does! Xmas Grin

To sum up, I couldn't give a flying fuck what presents you did or didn't get, from who or why.

Unless you were given unwanted alcohol, which I am happy to remove from your sight as soon as you'd like x

SilentBoob · 23/12/2011 19:16

Excellent unwanted alcohol clause balls.

does telling DH that I'm not going to choose my new diamond earrings today because I'm too busy count as IABU?

aldiwhore · 23/12/2011 19:20

I love you silentboob Merry Christmas. :)

Deafworm · 23/12/2011 19:28

YABU on the last one as IANBU but I haven't bored everyone posted on here about it! Using a Christmas card to have a dig warrants the bin IMO Xmas Grin as for the rest Yanbu, it amazes me the greed I've seen this week.

namechangerbat · 23/12/2011 19:29

Also remember, you dont have to give the container back.

fluffy123 · 23/12/2011 19:35

Deafworm I am with you regarding the greed thing. I have found it shocking the things adults ask for and think it is their right to receive.

YABU creating and posting your amazon wish list to anyone you have ever known who happens to have an email address. you are a grown up and I dont respond to demands like that, oh and you where never getting a fucking gift off me in the first place...Xmas Grin
