Mortified by gift from boss

[didyouscoredarling]

I had two KIT days that fell for secret Santa, so I was included in it

I got my boss, he got me. He forgot my present on the actual day of secret Santa so he gave me mine the day after

I got him an aftershave he likes. It's a fairly cheap one (£20), and a small box of chocolates. Just Cadbury's, he loves chocolate

I was gifted today a 'I ❤️ Sports direct' mug with a pack of pens in and some sticky notes
Wtf.

AIBU to feel sad? Limit was £20...

I only know he was my secret Santa because he was late to the fisting...

I can understand why you’d be mortified by the fisting. The mug pales in comparison.

He is a surgeon... Nice man, very black and white though and always thinks he's right, form for being a bit mean to other medical staff but is nice to me usually

@gamerchick

Everye time he passes you, stick a sticky note to his back.

🤣

You sure you didn’t send him a text asking him why he was late to the fisting? He might have tried to let you down gently by offering stationary. Nothing says ‘thanks but no thanks’ like pens and paper.

usually you say, OP?

"used to be nice to me" - there, fixed it for you.

@ICouldHaveCheckedFirst No he is usually nice is what I meant

He can be aggy all of a sudden for no reason at all

But who am I to question him, he's a very clever man (obviously)

Wow. That is tight. Not what you want if you're into fisting

He’s a surgeon who was late to the fisting? Oh my oh my.

I’m so sorry OP it’s a shit gift but you’ve really cheered me up

Awh. Such a rubbish and thoughtless gift. Well done you though for your thoughtful gift 😊

Late the the fisting and you just got a cheap mug, I’d be fuming OP.

Late to the fisting 😂😂😂

Shit presents though!

Late to the fisting interesting workplace op

I don't understand what you have to be embarrassed about, he's the one who failed to make an effort.
Brilliant typo, my kids wanted to know what I was laughing at.

People shouldn't join in secret santa if they're not gonna put in any effort. I got a tartan tablecloth last year that I'm sure someone just wanted rid off. Im still annoyed

Love the typo! 🤣 but yes, an absolutely shite present!
Just had a Google and SD sell them for £1… let’s hope he doesn’t get you next year if there is a Secret Santa!

Those mugs are freebies. Your thightfisted boss couldn't even be bother to buy you a gift

That is a shit gift OP
But your typo did make me laugh

Well!

Mortified though? That's what he should have been; deeply embarrassed. Disappointed and let down would be a more understandable emotion for you. Why are you feeling embarrassed? On his behalf, out of a sense of awkwardness created?

We do poundshop secret santa at my work, so it is a brilliant laugh as to what we all get. One year I received a dustpan and brush which I was very happy with as I needed a new one (love cleaning). Just makes it more of a fun no pressure experience with such a small budget.

Oh! Well I imagine a surgeon would be a fairly proficient fister - he'd know where the relevant nerves and soft tissue were located, at least.

Late to the fisting eh!

Those mugs were a well know Sports Direct con
They add them for £5 at checkout and you have to remove them- otherwise you are charged and receive them,

He’s very tight-fisted. Probably why he was late 😂😂😂😂

@fedup078

lol 😆 Shit present in all seriousness though Sound like he got it as a promotional gift? Tight bastard

Hope he wasn't too tight otherwise the fisting would have been tough going

Next year he needs something Scrooge related! Bah humbug!
