It would be more believable if he wasn't totally dodging everyone who asked what the gift was. How can you make a topic about a $200 gift and not be prepared for people asking what it was, usually TC is better than this


no i mean his reputation is solidified as sword guy. so natural assumption would be something sword related. and then when he confirms she wouldn't realize that it was a $200 gift which makes it a niche item and then him saying she was weirded out by it by cringing out a thanks...

I dunno I haven't been friendly enough with any coworker I've had that giving or receiving a $200 gift would be appropriate tbh. I have given and received gifts from coworkers but nothing more than maybe 20 bucks.

If TC isn't a troll making this up, he's got a gaping gunshot wound in his social skills.

A) Giving large gifts like that to coworkers is extremely inappropriate and makes them feel very uncomfortable.
B) If you're going to buy women, you have to be rich.

Life is not a Harvest Moon game. Actually, I hated all of those villagers for being shallow and self-centered. Asshole, how can you not like gold ore? That's cool! At the very least you could not yell at me or give it back or something

I mean, if you're talking about me, then I only got a twenty-five dollar Foodland gift card (that was a gift to every employee) and a bag of homemade confections.

Oh yeah, and my boss gave me his secret santa present that he didn't want at the company potluck the past Wednesday.

I'm guessing that your gift was something she has no interest in whatsoever and you were placing a lot of expectations on her about it. This is why I just make homemade chocolates for everybody for Christmas, everybody likes them and it's never weird to get chocolate for Christmas.

This guy knows what's up. Homemade baked goods are always a hit, and people tend to think of them as being more personal and thoughtful than storebought gifts, but they actually require far less thought because everybody likes cookies. Bonus points where 30-40% of a batch of cookies makes a good gift, meaning you get 60-70% for yourself.

I think the fact we all know what the alleged gift was is half the joke. He doesn't need to say the punchline.

I have to question the intelligence of anyone who actually thinks I would give a weapon to a woman, and a co-worker at that.

It's hilarious because what I got her is something I'm sure many of you own and have enjoyed over the years, something completely normal to you.

It's even more hilarious that I now know the gift isn't working like I thought it would, and not because she told me either, so she probably hasn't even taken it out of the box yet.

Yeah, I'm done with her.

Oh well, I'll just have some fun myself, just a few more hours, haha.

What did you buy for this woman, and why is it such a secret?
The 'matching' aspect of the gift makes me believe you bought yourself a phone and got one for free. Did you give her the free phone, which would be worth $200?

Seriously though, whoever decided gifts needed to be wrapped in paper before being given needs to get a thousand paper cuts. I was this > < close to just cutting out six separate rectangles to put on each face of the box, since using one piece was so confusing.

You should have just given her the $200, with a card saying why you're giving it to her and to have a merry Christmas.

And you shouldn't put a whole lot of energy into fancy wrapping techniques that will be torn away later.
