An easy game today, but a depressing one. 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 hard earned money on something you don’t like and secondly it’s depressing because they don’t know or like you enough to have bought something you power like. I mean, who really wants a LIGHT?
Worst of all is the pretense of thanking someone when you both know full well that you will REPOXINATE it to another poor soul, thus continuing the never ending cycle of horrible gifts.
