Holiday Pet Peeve: When you send someone a gift and you don't hear anything from them. So you ask them if they rec'd it and they're all

"Oh yeah, I did get that. Thanks."

In this day and age of communication it takes literally 5 seconds to let someone know that the gift you sent them arrived safely. And no, none of these people are away from home spending the winter lounging in Capri and don't know a gift arrived. They're home, sitting on the couch playing video games and eating Nutella. They just can't be bothered to talk to their relatives or say 'thank you' and even though you love them they do sorta suck. Merry Christmas.

rant over. for now.

Heh. This is the reason I now send my niece's gifts to my mom. At least that way, I will know when they are received, and my mom will have my niece - kelly Dec 29, 09:15
"Can you put down the Nutella for 5 mins and tell me if you got your gift?" -- nm - Lukola Skywalker Dec 29, 09:10 6
- I *must* get a video of Logan doing his Nutella song so you guys can hear it. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 29, 09:13 5
  - Heh my nephew sang Nathan Carter songs completely out of tune for pretty much the whole Christmas. -- nm - Lukola Skywalker Dec 29, 09:15 4
    - heh. Logan does not sing real songs. He is sorta anti-music except he makes up tons of his own and sings them. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 29, 09:17 3
      - Nice that you taped it. Be fun looking back on that in a few years. -- nm - Lukola Skywalker Dec 29, 09:19 2
        
        No, have not caught him yet. He does not like being recorded. He sings them for himself, not for our enjoyment. - Spawn Solo Dec 29, 09:20 1

That would bother me. -- nm - Krusty Dec 29, 09:07
next year don't send them a gift -- nm - decline Dec 29, 09:06 3
- and then I would feel horrible. -- nm - New Year's Deeve Dec 29, 09:07 2
  - Send them a card. - Spawn Solo Dec 29, 09:08 1
    - Send them a scavenger hunt that involves contacting you for each clue -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 09:11
