Are you returning any gifts this year?

Did you get anything that's gonna go back because it doesn't fit, doesn't work or you just don't like it?

I am returning a backpack to Kmart that my son got. Other than that, a few re-gifter things...

No, for once I didn't get anything I have to take back.

Some time this week I'm taking back a purse my cousin gave me because it has a rip on the inside.

I'm going to try this week to find the store to return the Whore of Babylon Starter Kit I got. If I can't I'll just have to trash it.

I never had to take any gifts back.

Nope.

Nothing to return.

Totally off subject, but what's everyone's opinion on this? I was talking to my co-worker's brother at our Christmas party a couple of weeks ago and I know he has about 5 kids. So I asked him what did or was he planning to get his children for Christmas. He said he wasn't buying them shit. Umm, okay. Then I saw him again when I went to a bar with a couple of people a week later and the subject came up again because since his brother lives upstate, he wanted to catch up with him while we were out at the bar because he wanted his brother to pick up the gifts he bought for his brother's daughters. . Umm, you can't buy your own flesh and blood anything for Christmas, but you can buy gifts for another man's children? Whom you affectionately call your nieces (because to top it off, they ain't really brothers! They just call themselves brothers). So I told him he was fucking bugged for that and he told me the reason why he did that is because he doesn't get to see his kids that much (he don't get to see his 'nieces' that much either) and his baby mother's are stupid and since he pays child support, he didn't need to buy them anything. Am I wrong for looking at that motherfucker like he had two heads?

^^Not at all. The guy's a jackass.

The guy sounds like a jerk and a deadbeat in all honesty.

To answer JB's queation, no. I'm giving a good home to everything I got. That's usually the way it is.

EWW, NO! That's messed up!!

And for the OP, the only thing I'm thinking of returning is a big griddle, because I got two of them...And I'm really tempted to keep them both because it would be nice to be able to be cooking bacon while I'm making pancakes in the morning (with 7 people you need to cook a lot at once or you can't eat together)...But then storage space is at a premium and two griddles seems...luxurious or something.

If you can find the space for it, that sounds like a great idea. That way the pancakes wouldn't get cold or soggy while the bacon is cooking. Or you wouldn't have to clean it first to make the pancakes if you did it the other way around.

I think I'm going to try to make it work, it would just make breakfasts a lot easier and quicker for me...

I'm returning a shirt and a pair of pants.

Once again, I didn't get anything that I have to return.

Dad got me a 19 inch TV for my bedroom. I already returned it on the way home because I would rather put another $100 toward a larger one than that.

I may return this pair of pajama pants I got. Tried them on and they fit, but I'm not crazy about how they feel.

Nope, I'm kool with everything I got.

You should re-think that Shale. I think you look nice in them. (I saw the pic in the other thread)

No, you aren't wrong. He IS a motherfucker, with obviously no consideration for how his kids would feel about this (if they knew). Terrible.

Very rare that I return gifts ~ haven't done it in many, many years.

But I would love to exchange the ABBA cd that was given to us. Store sticker was removed, though. This person gave us this same cd last year and what's worse ~ I hate ABBA and always have! This one I may regift.

Nope. Everything was great.
