Stop Buying Crappy Christmas Presents

Look, I know some people are hard to buy for. I also know some people are unappreciative and you just buy them something for the sake of it. But when it comes to buying something for everyone else, is it really too hard to get them something they actually want? I hear complaints all the time that no thought goes into a gift card. Yeah, because people don't like money. Hell, I'd prefer to get nothing but gift cards because then I won't have to pretend I liked the present from you in order to not hear tired sayings like, "It's the thought that counts." Yeah, thanks for thinking I wanted something I've never expressed any interest in. Had you put any thought into buying me a Christmas present, it would have been that Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast picture disc (which I bought for myself already; it was the thought that counted.) Now no one ever gives me presents I don't want because I'm a simple man who enjoys the finer pleasures of menage a threes for a gift, but I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say don't be pissed to see what you got me being sold on eBay.

Die!
