An easy game today, but depressing. There’s only one thing I find sadder than a disappointing meal and that’s unwanted gifts.
It’s sad on multiple levels as the person buying has spent their well-earned money on something you don’t like and secondly it’s depressing because they don’t know you or like you enough to have bought you something you don’t like. could as. I mean, who really wants a CANDLE?
The worst thing of all is trying to thank someone, when you both know very well that you WILL give it to another poor soul and thus continue the endless cycle of terrible gifts.
