Bought friend birthday present. She opened it and literally looked at it in disgust and just muttered thanks and shoved it back in the bag.

Genuinely thought I’d bought her something she would like - obviously not. Which is fine and you can’t help what you like or dislike but surely most people would at least pretend to like it?

It’s annoyed me so much that I’ve text her to apologise. Aibu?

Oh go away I have no idea who this person is or what was said. There’s been enough posts removed on here so I’m pretty sure if I was using a sock account this thread would have been deleted.

I’m not saying what the present what because it’s very outing. Goodnight.

Shock at bone china

It wasn’t earrings made of your ex labia was it? That’s pretty outing.

Primarkismyonlyoption · 05/02/2018 21:42

^^ misread that as labia earrings. Vom.

MiddleClassProblem · 05/02/2018 21:43

That’s what it was. You read it right... google it Grin

LolitaChi · 05/02/2018 21:48

Labia?!? Hahaha

Oh come on OP enlighten us

arethereanyleftatall · 05/02/2018 22:04

This is weird.
Are you saying op, that you started this thread a few days ago with a question, haven't read the replies, and now want people to go away?...

GertrudeCB · 05/02/2018 22:36

Are you always this rude @lolitaChi?!Hmm

MammaTJ · 05/02/2018 22:38

MN doesn't work like that OP! You start a conversation by starting a thread..... you know, meant to be a two way thing. So....people will answer you, ask questions in return, expect you to answer those questions.... and so on.......

Kind of like in real life, but by typing and not face to face... Oh hang on, that is like our RL, you texting 'Sorry' cos you are pissed off! Hmm

gingergenius · 05/02/2018 22:39

OMG! Are you sharon?

Carpetquest · 05/02/2018 22:39

Tbf Labia earrings are pretty funny

HelloGabriel · 05/02/2018 22:40

No, Gertrude she's just fucking shit at buying decent birthday presents GrinGrin

NeverMetACakeIDidntLike · 05/02/2018 22:47

Un. Be. Leave. Able.

How can you not tell us?

Was it WORSE than Lynx and jellies? I was, wasn't it?

NoSquirrels · 05/02/2018 22:53

It totally WAS teen deodorant & old lady jellied fruits, though. Terribly outing! I think lilac is the “friend”...

Guavaf1sh · 05/02/2018 22:59

What was it? If it’s a cheque perhaps you can cancel it

WitchIwasaWitch18 · 05/02/2018 23:04

So bloody what if it is outing? no one is going to die. Your friend is already pissed at the shit present anyway and you likewise at her reaction. You got it wrong babe and she was rude. Move on. But tell us what it was or we'll continue to laugh and make stuff up.

gingergenius · 05/02/2018 23:04

@Guavaf1sh Grin

gingergenius · 05/02/2018 23:08

Ok. Worst present option would be a subscription to weight watchers magazine. Maybe it was that. I'd be pretty unimpressed (even though I do actually need to shift some weight) I could see that present going down like a cup of cold sick!!!

OpheliaHardon · 05/02/2018 23:13

I'm dying to know what it was. Placenta Pie?

WitchIwasaWitch18 · 05/02/2018 23:33

Old hair extensions in the wrong colour.

TitaniasCloset · 05/02/2018 23:44

Read the whole thing still don't know what the present was. Bah. Angry

MiddleClassProblem · 06/02/2018 00:03

OpheliaHardon I read that in my head in a southern belle accent

My husband got a gift wrapped orange one year.

An orange, wrapped up. He doesn’t even eat oranges but he definitely said thanks and was grateful.
