Pissed off with reaction to present?

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?

I can't do emojis on my ancient Mac, but if I could, I would be doing the 'crying with laughter' one at the pubic hair wig. That is surely what the OP bought.

Can't remember who brought up the subject of labia earrings, but I thought it meant earrings made of labial off-cuts. Maybe I misunderstood...

TitaniasCloset · 06/02/2018 18:27

Should I google them? Confused

TitaniasCloset · 06/02/2018 18:30

Here you go, I found this

I also found this

Thank you, Titania. Thank goodness for the Fail. Where would we be without it?

OpheliaLeghorn · 06/02/2018 18:48

In fact, I now suspect the OP bought her friend a copy of the Daily Mail.

elisenbrunnen · 06/02/2018 19:31

OMG Titania - she took her 'wilting' labia off-cuts and sprinkled glitter on them and turned them into 'jewellery'? (Wonders if the Trans tread would be interested.....)

one step closer to breaking down the taboo of female circumcision - a taboo? Female circumcision? I don't think it's either? It's just - nasty.

TriniRedVelvet · 06/02/2018 19:53

Titania - both those links are disgustingly disturbing but the first one I desperately want to unsee. Why are some people so gross!!!

TitaniasCloset · 06/02/2018 19:53

I know, tasteful isn't it? Confused let's hope she doesn't leave it laying around any dogs, they might think it's one of those leathery chew toys from the pet shop.

MiddleClassProblem · 06/02/2018 19:59

It was me that said labia earrings! It’s like she gave them to a toddler to decorate.

TitaniasCloset · 06/02/2018 20:00

Well you have enlightened us all Middle !! Grin

HolyBumoley · 06/02/2018 20:26

Thank you, Middle. (NC - sorry)

HolyBumoley · 06/02/2018 20:27

Thought what's worse: Labia off-cut earrings, or a copy of the Daily Mail? Where are you, OP?

TroubledTribble28 · 06/02/2018 20:34

Bobbie and Gin I had that mug for Christmas from my best pal, it's our pet name for each other. It takes all sorts Grin

TriniRedVelvet · 06/02/2018 20:34

I think OP has abandoned the thread after dismissive good night post.

Bobbiepin · 06/02/2018 20:45

@troubled I considered getting it as a work mug for a colleague. Then I remembered we work in a school and it might not be appropriate. Shame.

HolyBumoley · 06/02/2018 20:53

C'm on, OP. Tell us. Otherwise we're just going to assume it's a copy of the DM and some labia off-cut earrings. Surely a can of Lynx for Women would be relatively harmless after that?

She text me back to say she didn’t realise at the time what it was and she absolutely loves it. I am very good at buying present Grin

It’s actually funny how robbed some of you feel just because I didn’t answer your questions. Sure a gun wasn’t pointed at your heads to read and respond to this.

Girl bye Grin x

Oh, that is a relief. It was all a misunderstanding! She thought it was a jokey, mean present but it really wasn't! The silly twit mistook some Tiffany Jewellery for a pack of Tena lady and a Pelvic Floor Toner with attached gift tag saying "Try this, Bucket Fanny"

Easy mistake to make.

You are right OP. You are great at buying presents. We are all nosy, rude bints who totally incorrectly marked you down as a mean-present-buyer.

Soz

Byeeeeeee!!!

AthenaAshton · 06/02/2018 21:20

Bog Still laughing about Bucket Fanny. Say what you like, OP: we now know it was Tena Lady pads.
