This is what a woman faced onChristmaswhen her thoughtless boyfriend got her presents that he actually wanted.
She is a national etiquette expert and owner of theProtocol School of Texas.
She said that there is no one answer as to why people would [do that].
The most obvious answer would be that its an indirect way of buying a gift for themselves.
Unfortunately, this pop in of thing is more common than you would expect.
Asurveyfound that around 72% of people have received very disappointing or confusing gifts.
Within this group of folks, nearly 40% felt insulted by the terrible presents they were given.
So, she took some time to calm her mind and get her anger in check.
We askedDianewhat people can do if they are given bad gifts.
It all depends on the relationship one shares with the gift giver, Diane added.
They can also become better at gift-giving.
They can ask them point-blank to give them hints or go to a trustedfriendand ask for advice.
It doesnt seem like the poster wanted to help her boyfriend improve his gift-giving skills.
His poor behavior pushed her to reconsider their relationship and possibly initiate a breakup.
Oh well, at least it might help him save up for his own presents next year.
