The problem is he should’ve wrapped four of them.

I was on a lawyer team and those were non-lawyers. I did that for a few years. Lots of attorneys (and now judges) played. There were at least 3 teams with attorneys, sometimes 4.

TIL lawyers and judges play trivia on teams.
I also hate white elephant/dirty santa/secret santa/gift exchanges of all kinds.

The one that gets stolen every year in our office is my boss buys $50 of lottery tickets (we have a $50 limit).
Everyone thinks it's their lucky day I guess
Not me, I go for the booze (usually a few options).

When you should have done this "Range $10 min to $25 limit"

They weren't judges at the time. This was 10+ years ago.

I hate most forms of Christmas parties (unless it's one with my hardcore friend group), but unlike the guys in that other thread, I try to make experiences I don't particularly like, as fun as possible.

Shame them. Or hit them with severe office prank.

Anyone bring the dominatrix sex kit and make it awkward?

Agreed. We have two white elephant parties this weekend with extended family

This should be the play every year.
Office games are stupid and someone always gets up into their feels over it.

A few years ago I was the lucky recipient of a used New Orleans saints puzzle that the box was taped back shut. The office sleuths pieced the evidence together and discovered my boss, who makes high six figures, was the giver. He’s a notorious tight wad, but that was pretty sad!

I've never participated in a white elephant gift exchange that didn't end up with someone being pissed off.

If you get that chicken, you immediately open it and start eating, making hard eye contact with the rest of the office. Give them some "you're locked in here with me" vibes.

My daughter did one of these at school, they were all supposed to bring Christmas socks in.
She ended up with one sock.... Some kids parents sent their daughter in with 1 sock. Which likely means they didn't purchase anything and just had a used single sock laying around.
My daughter handled it well and said maybe they couldn't afford it, even have a picture with the girl while my daughter wore the one sock smiling.
Similar demographic. Poor kid though.

If you don't have a couple of crappy gifts in a white elephant exchange, you simply have a secret santa exchange. Maybe you should join the two whiners and sit out next year.
Personally, if I ended up with the Doritos, I'd simply store them until next year and use them as my contribution. It's a game. Somebody has to lose.
I bet you get upset when your kid doesn't get a participation trophy also.
I'd buy the two "jackasses" a beer.
My bet is on
