So embarrassed

Got some vouchers for dsis and Bil for Xmas for a restaurant as they like eating out.

Gave them today and they look up the food rating and it was low. Dsis was disgusted and gave them back saying "we can't even re gift that"

I'm so embarrassed :(

Did not occur to me to check first as although we had not eaten there ourselves it had been recommended to us and was local so we thought it was a nice present
I feel mortified

Rude fuckers! What a fab gift. Our local Indian had a rubbish food rating (tho think it may have improved now). We've been using it for years with no issues, they do bloody lovely curries. I'm hungry now Grin.

Seriously? they checked the rating in front of you and you're embarrassed ?

Bloody rude of her , I'm hoping you are going to say she 17 or something so she has time to grow out of it

KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes · 23/12/2015 17:52

Wow.

She really has no manners.

Use it yourself. And don't bother buying her presents in future.

What a cow!

notafanofwinter · 23/12/2015 17:53

Blimey, that's a really lovely, thoughtful gift.
She should be so ashamed of herself.

Your sister was seriously fucking rude. You have nothing to be embarrassed about.

Definitely use it yourself and do not give her anything else.

EmpressOfTheVulvaCupcakes · 23/12/2015 17:53

Agree, it's your sister who ought to be embarrassed! Enjoy your meal out.

DamedifYouDo · 23/12/2015 17:53

Your sister is a rude!!!!

How low was the rating and when was it inspected last? Even after improvements have been made it takes a while to be inspected again so things will usually have improved before a higher rating is given. My brother is a chef - all sorts of things can cause a poor rating. Common sense needs to be applied, the rating only reflects one moment in time.

How nasty. I would go with friends and if she is on Facebook I would check in there and tag her in thanking her for the kind gift. Oh and whatever she gives you I would give back, saying you wouldn't feel comfortable accepting it after her reaction to your gift. Oh and I would tell the family what an ungrateful cow she was.

CallieTorres · 23/12/2015 17:55

Bloody hell the rudeness!

Scarydinosaurs · 23/12/2015 17:55

Sister is rude.

You are normal.

I hope you have a lovely curry.

agapimou · 23/12/2015 17:55

What an ungrateful cow!

Give the vouchers to a homeless person. Five people can eat well for 100 pounds at an Indian takeaway and I'm sure they will be a hell of a lot more grateful than your snobby sister.

Notwithoutareason · 23/12/2015 17:55

We got them £100 and dsis mil often goes out with them as she's recently divorced so we thought it would be better to give more so they could include her too if they wanted

It was in the Christmas card and we have it today when we saw them in case they felt like going before Xmas as I know bil is working next week a few days

I just felt humiliated. Like people have said though we can use it

And no, I won't be replacing the gift !

What a thoughtful and generous gift. Enjoy it with your friends and stuff your sister!

NeedsAsockamnesty · 23/12/2015 17:56

Do you mean you are embarrassed by her shockingly rude behaviour as you are concerned it may reflect on you due to you being related?

Because I cannot think of anything else at all that should make you embarrased.

Rest assured op that no her rudeness does not reflect upon you in any way.

BackforGood · 23/12/2015 17:56

Wow! How incredibly rude she is.
You've got nothing to be embarrassed about, but you will now be able to have a nice meal out with friends, for free! Smile

tiktok · 23/12/2015 17:56

Eh? Why would you be mortified and embarrassed? You aren't seriously feeling bad are you? Is she always as horrible as this? What stops you from telling her how rude she is?

trinity0097 · 23/12/2015 17:56

Who looks up the food rating anyway!? I get trip advisor, but not the food hygiene rating!

£100 would have paid for a veritable feast and drinks in our fantastic Indian for two, or just under a normal feast for 4!!! You were very generous.

Floggingmolly · 23/12/2015 17:56

Why are you embarrassed? They're a pair of ignorant arseholes; I'd be spitting feathers. How did you react? From your posts, I'm guessing you showed your embarrassment instead of telling her to fuck off...
Think about why.

Chottie · 23/12/2015 17:56

How very, very rude and ungrateful.

Notwithoutareason · 23/12/2015 17:57

I checked myself just now rating was previously 4 and went down to a 1 a couple of months ago

She had looked it up and said "that's very low" to bil. It is low and I wish I'd checked before getting it

NotMeNotYouNotAnyone · 23/12/2015 17:58

They are so rude!!!! Even if they thought that they shouldn't have said it (manners!) and should've been thankful you put thought into a generous gift. Take yourself and DH there and enjoy! No replacement gift, it's their own fault!

Notwithoutareason · 23/12/2015 17:58

I think it was because we thought it was a nice gift and she was so obviously disgusted I felt embarrassed :(

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 23/12/2015 17:59

Just remember it's not you, it's them.

Utter arses to embarrass you like that, put them on your shit list and remember how they've treated you.

can't even re-gift this who the fuck are they?]Shock
