Title: Buying gifts only for those who are giving gifts
Post by: KonohaShinobi on December 08, 2010, 12:00:31 PM
I think it's kind of selfish. I'm buying close friends gifts, just because I want to see them happy, not because I expect any gifts in return. However it is annoying to me when people expect me to get them a christmas gift. I don't have to get you anything at all.

Anyone here actually follow this code?

That's the wrong attitude to have, you Scrooge.  akudood;

I try to make all my gifts out of stuff I already have, therefore don't have to spend any money at all.

But yes, I know what you're talking about and it is obnoxious.

I do not care if I get something in return honestly. It is nice and all but it is not the purpose of gifting.

Kono is voicing his opinion AGAINST it, not supporting it

Yes because I'm not made of fucking money. Plus then I avoid the awkwardness when I get a gift and I didn't get them shit in return.

i give people gifts in secret
i don't even give out my name sometimes

it makes it even much more special since they can assume it came from a loved one and that loved one can lie about getting it for them  bassir;

*excludes my friend because he's an asshole and the only person who cares about him is me huehauehauha
