Our office did a white elephant gift exchange today. Small office of 10 people. $25: limit. Some gifts were good, like a couple bluetooth speakers, a case of Shiner, a Yeti mug, etc. Then you get the jackass that wrapped up a $6 Rotisserie chicken and one who gave a bag of Doritos. No lie. I'll give you one guess which political party they're affiliated with.

The 2 people who got stuck with the crappy gifts were pissed and said they'll just sit out next year. I just don't understand. In an office of 10 people, it was pretty easy to figure out who sucks.

Needs to be rules on those - Some WE are designed to be the terrible gifts.

I'd actually use the rotisserie chicken, unlike the shitty bluetooth speakers and Yeti mug

I mean, our white elephant is usually people grab shite from around the house and wrap it up.

Why get upset over something so stupid?

It’s called a gag gift.

I worked at a place for 10 years and we did it every year. One guy was notorious for bringing shitty gifts. We'd all see what gift he brought in and stay the frick away from it.

One year was a camera tripod in the box that looked to be 20 years old another year he brought a shower curtain.

You better hope he didn't buy it a week ago and leave it on his counter until today

Out of these, the Doritos and Chicken would be in my top three (with the Shiner).

You can’t let this massive injustice go without taking action. You need to send out a company wide email calling these losers out. Don’t be afraid to have a few drinks prior to writing and sending out the email. Godspeed brother.

my wife is in a female dominant profession. Holy shite at the worthless mugs and shite she ends up w every year. It’s a damn jenga existence to open the cabinets if she had her way. I despise em. I drink out of glasses period. And would prefer if they all matched.
