		Alright, got to get this one started.  Have you ever been given a gift that was an insult or contained a message?  Describe it. 
 
Mine was by my Mom, she got me a bowl and told me until I got married, she would buy me kitchen ware until I gave up being single.

		I bought deodorant and mouthwash for a co-worker. He needed it.
	 
	
	
Go fuck yourself. Hard.

		Back in high school we had a friend who decided not to bathe so much anymore. The smell was so bad it would make you sick to your stomach and give you a headache...we left him a bar of soap with a bow on his music stand, which he found. He was not happy. 
 
We all laughed.

		One year a boyfriend I had got mad that I was getting hit on at work so gave me a T-Shirt to wear at work that said, "You're ugly, I'm bored, Go Away!"  Asked him if it meant me, he said no, it was for my co-workers to get a clue.

		This wasn't really an insult gift, just the worst gift I've ever received.  I mentioned in another thread that I often spend too much on my significant others' gifts, including this one.  For my ex's birthday I got that whole pet snake package which ran me a few hundred bucks, and he had his mother crochet me a blanket.  His justification was, "Well, I bought the yarn."
	 
	
	
That's what she said.

		How big was the blanket? I crochet blankets (afghans), scarves, hats, whatever, and depending on how complicated the piece, it can take a while. You should be more grateful to your mother in law for taking a couple months to make that, than to him for 'getting the yarn'.
	 
	
	
Everyday you reinvent yourself into a bigger cock-shite than ever. It's incredible. I don't know how you do it. I admire you. 
 
I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.

It's a big blanket and I really like it, but that's my point - it was really a gift from her and a lame excuse by him.

Oh, okay. Sorry, I read that a little fast. Pop off comments for the win.

Hate to play the evil advocate here.  Depending on the yarn. $2.99 a pop, for a 100 row granny square, your looking at up to 20 to 30 scans of yarn, which can be brought up to $60 to $90 bucks just in supplies.  I have a granny square style blanket, eight sides, I am working on for my king size sleigh bed.  I have eight rows left to finish it.  I have almost $200 in yarn supplies in just making it, not to mention the hours.

Did you get applications to go with it?

		I should have, but unless I drove the two hours to my parents' house (where she and her 2 kids live), picked them up, drove 30 miles to the nearest, decent-sized town, and dropped them off, just to make sure they were turned in, it would be a completely pointless exercise.  Which makes me think that so is the resume handbook.  But one could hope that she would get off her you-know-what and get a job.   
 
Not that it would really matter.  I love my sister, but I know she'd probably get fired from whatever job within two months.

		2 hours...I'm guessing some where like Fayetteville or some thing like that.  My brother lives with our parents and has his two kids there too.  He doesn't have a job.  He lost that a few months ago.  I'm battling to try to hang on to mine until one more year vested in where I can walk away with my 401k, because my company won't let anyone have the match if they leave before 5 years of slave labor is done.   I'll use the resume book.  LOL
