I gave one of my friends a great gift and she gives me a freaking coin purse that a kid should have. I think she is mad because I wont date her son and also too she is wealthy. So is this how rich folks get back at working class like myself?
anyway, I opened it while driving. Got pissed and threw it out onto the highway going 60. should I re-gift it and then send it to her next year?

not too sure how you are going to retrieve it to regift it

Did you look inside of that coin purse before you threw it out the window???? There could have been money inside..... If you threw the purse away,how would re-gift it???? If you really want to get her back(mind games) write her a thank-you note. Thank her for the purse and the bill inside. Make it sound like it was a lot of money. That will get to her. She can't ask you how much was in it,because she would have to admit that she gave you a cheap gift...Just act like she put $100. bill in it. Just don't tell her the amount. If she did put money in it,good hunting!

Instead of regifting next year, I would write her a thank you letter telling her how thoughtful and kind it was of her to choose a coin purse for you, that it shows how well she knows you since that is "exactly" what you were hoping to get. Tell her that you wish you had put as much thought into her gift from you to her as she did for you. As mama always says, kill em' with kindness. If she has half a clue she will get what you are really saying. That said, choose a similar gift for her next year as you never said whether you went back to get the coin purse you threw out! BTW, did you look inside the purse??? It may have had some $ inside! If not, remember, it is the thought that counts even if it was a cheap thought and easy way out for a gift.

Gonna go with jim h and porn down under on this one. You just told everyone how self-centered you are by being pissed off about getting a gift, then littering our country with it. What were you expecting to get? Were you trying to get yourself a great gift by giving one? Maybe the reason you got something you didn't feel was good enough is a reflection of how this person sees you, and maybe that's how you really are...I think you need to grow up.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth comes to mind.
Mim G has good advice. Maybe it was a Gucci that costs 100 times what it's worth. Too bad you had to litter. I just wouldn't buy her any more gifts, and request that she doesn't get you any. Don't accept gifts from her any more. You shouldn't expect others to match your gifts in cost. Look at it as a warning, now if it happens again it's your fault. Don't have any business deals with her or her son.
Before you complain about others, you might want to clean up your own yard, look at your avatar. I think your diaper needs changing.

You should be arrested for littering and wreckless endangerment of other vehicles. Sounds like you are an ungrateful spoiled brat. Receiving a gift is not about how good a gift it is or whether you even like it. The important part is that someone thought enough about you to give you a gift.

I got a corny gift like that once and there was 50 bucks inside it, did you check for that???
other wise I would just get her a corny gift next year, like a toaster cover or something really dumb and then you should make sure next time you are out together you make mention to someone else, "(her name here) got me a cute coin purse for Christmas" then turn to her and ask "what was it I got for you?" and let her tell them, that usually embarrasses them.
this year we were sending out cards and one lady got really upset, she thought we were stalking her, so at the company party, we went up to her and said, rather loudly " Gee we sure are sorry we scared you by sending you a Christmas card, if you want we won't do that again next year!" She cowered away and never said another word about it. Whereas before she was threatening to sue for us "pushing religion on her and stalking her"
Good luck

Are you sure there weren't a couple one hundred dollar bills in it?
If I were you, I'd thank her for it and let it go. Something like this isn't worth worrying over. By giving the same gift to her next year, you're doing nothing more than proving you're just as petty and spiteful as her. You're bigger than that, aren't you?

tell him the place you acquire the shirt. as long through fact the tags are nonetheless on it, he are able to interchange it for something else. it quite is in basic terms a shirt. i might think of after 2 weeks, the present replaced into o.ok. and it replaced into fantastic to throw away the receipt. Oh nicely. next year ask for a modern receipt and positioned the receipt with the present. If he needs to interchange it, he may be to blame for the receipt.

Better to avoid pettiness (do not re-gift). Just rise above the situation and be careful about dealing with this so-called friend of yours.

I am unsure if she is a friend if she is mad at you for not wanting to date someone, even if it's her son. Just get over it and don't even exchange gifts next year.
