No don't! That was a statement, rather than a request.
Why is it that every year everyone asks me what I want for Christmas and I am expected to tell them, otherwise I won't get anything, yet they will never tell me what they want. If I ask them (which I generally don't, because I actually use my initiative to think of something), I always get the reply "I don't know. Whatever. I'm easy to buy for.".
It really gets on my mammaries, I have to tell you. What they don't realise is when they say "Tell me what you want for Christmas" what they're actually saying is "I can't be fecked to put any thought into what you might want. I don't pay attention to your life. I never listen to anything you say so I have no idea what you do or don't like, and even if I did, do you really think I could be arsed to engage my brain and think creatively enough to buy you something you wouldn't expect? OF COURSE I CAN'T! In fact, I don't really care about buying you something for Christmas. The only thing I care about is alleviating my guilt so that I don't turn up empty handed on Christmas day. So be a good sport and just tell me some cheap tat that I can order online from Amazon and then we'll all be happy."
The thing which really fecks me off about it is that I have to do all the work. It takes the ****.
If I say "Don't buy me anything" (and I really mean it. I'd be happy enough to not get anything from these people), then the answer is always "Well I have to get you something!". Then I have to think of something.
If I say "Buy me a new bike / [insert expensive item here]" then the answer is "but seriously ... "
If I say "Feck off and die you thoughtless moron" then I will be accused of ruining Christmas.
Really, my only option is think of all my gift for myself, while taking into consideration everyone's budget, then tell them what I want. So basically I have to spend a lot of time ruining the mystery of present giving for myself, while condemning myself to receiving a massive load of tat.
Anyone else have to put up with this situation from uncreative, unimagination, half-arsed, thoughtless, guilt ridden morons?
