Is it rude to send wishlists to your family and friends? - GoFuckYourself.com

Tala · 11-09-2003, 09:29 PM

I hate doing that, even when family asks me to do it. I was raised to think that if someone wanted to give me something, they would, otherwise it was rude to ask for it.

*sigh*

Bah humbug.

Spunky · 11-09-2003, 09:32 PM

Sure...How else do they know what you want/need?

Odin88 · 11-09-2003, 09:32 PM

Yes, I had some idiot send me a card for his wedding saying in a nice little rhyme 'we dont want your shitty gifts, just give us money'. I gave them a stolen toaster.

jonesonyou · 11-09-2003, 09:32 PM

A "Wish list" is good to give to anyone who is planning to give you a present, and has know idea what to buy.

integrated · 11-09-2003, 09:33 PM

yes i find it rude

stolen toaster

too funny

Brad-Wishing · 11-09-2003, 09:33 PM

My parents want me to do this... I feel weird doing it as well. Feels too much like begging

jas1552 · 11-09-2003, 09:34 PM

I personally like to make sure that a gift I give is going to be something the recipient wants.

integrated · 11-09-2003, 09:36 PM

its fucking tacky ass shit to give out wish lists

if you dont know what to get them you ask them personally you dont get them hading out printed documents saying i want this its just goes against the spirit of things

Furious_Female · 11-09-2003, 09:40 PM

I give a wish list to my mother only... she distributes it among the family (not that any of them buy me anything anymore) They usually say, we want to get something you do want and not something you don't want. Well up to a few years ago, I was just a teenager, so I don't really do that anymore. There's a difference between asking for elaborate gifts and asking for things in the same price range you usually get. If your wish list consists of a beach house, Mercedes and a refridgerator... it's kind of tacky.

Ask them for their wish lists as well, it's easier to buy for people when you know what they want. It's only in poor taste to ask people for expensive gifts... especially when they don't have the money etc or you don't even deserve them.

Tala · 11-09-2003, 09:42 PM

I just can't help it. I think it's really rude to actually make a list and send it to people. It's entirely too pretentious.

On the other hand, if we don't do this, my husband's grandparents (the three remaining from both sides...two grammas and a grandpa) come up with the strangest shit possible. One grandmother gave him earring that light up...my husband doesn't have pierced ears.

They have asked (in the case of his step-mother DEMANDED) for wishlists. I oughta send 'em one with lingerie and cookie cutters. Make 'em wonder.

Not unless you're related to Santa Claus.

Babaganoosh · 11-09-2003, 09:44 PM

It's up to you. Either send wishlists or learn to be happy with socks and subscriptions to Reader's Digest.

Theo · 11-09-2003, 09:52 PM

i find it rude,lame and insulting

Yea I second that. I personally dont care if i get a single fucking thing from anyone, i dont expect anyone to send me gifts. If you go about expecting something all the time youll be upset when you dont get something. Its better off getting use to believing you wont get anything as this way when you do youll crap your pants with joy!

Libertine · 11-10-2003, 03:21 AM

Wishlists are exceptionally rude.

Therefore, you should only send them to people you don't really like who have given extremely useless and weird presents for at least 7 consecutive years.

goBigtime · 11-10-2003, 03:30 AM

If someone gave me a wishlist, I'd buy them stationary & pens.

IMP^or^SNiTL.e · 11-10-2003, 03:42 AM

i tihnk it is rude, if i got a wishlist from someone i would be pissed ,they will get what they are goddamn given

who · 11-10-2003, 03:47 AM

If the people don't know you well enough to know what you might want/need - then why are they buying you a present?

Will we see some dumbass texan sue someone for not giving them what they asked for on their wishlist next??

fucking world.

It doesn't even matter what the gift is, if you've given it to the person for a real reason, like you WANTED to because you LIKE them.

fucking world.
