Okay can you get a link to that story? I wanna hear how that pans out.WarScarab wrote:It's pretty much been said, but I'd just like to point out how heavily such actions as these tip the scale of the naughty:nice ratio towards the naughty side. So, yeah, return them...or do what some guy in Kansas City I heard about is doing, that being selling off his kid's Christmas XBox 360 (because the kid's being a little shit and throwing every tantrum imaginable because he's not getting the present early) and instead giving him the box filled with charcoal .
Ever gotten so angry that you wanted to return a present?

I returned an expensive set of DVD's (pretty new tech, at the time) to a store after the girlfriend I bought them for broke up with me. Not that big a deal, in spite of the "re-stocking fee." Never felt bad about it.

Re-stocking fee??
Okay someone explain this to the hick. You mean they charge you to return stuff? Whiskey, Tango Foxtrot if that's the case.

Yes, Dalton got the basics. She left for the week, turned off the heat, locked her part of the house with the controls for the heat in her room, and left. My other housemate, who's in charge of the house and who has a key to that part of the house, wasn't home that night.
Although, at the time, the thought that she'd turned the heat off hadn't occured to me. My heat's been quite weak for the past month, so I knew something wasn't right with it; I thought it had finally kicked the bucket and stopped working. I was a little relieved when I found out she'd turned it off (back when I thought she'd done it be accident) because I knew fixing the heat would take ages and cost a lot of money, but when I found out she knowingly did it and felt no remorse for leaving me in sub-zero temperatures in my own fucking bedroom, I stopped being relieved and became incredibly livid.

Wait. Didn't she know what happens to pipes when they freeze?

That, or she didn't care. But I'm betting she just didn't think about it, the same way she didn't think how cold it would get in my half of the house with no heat at all on that cold of a night.Rogue 9 wrote:Wait. Didn't she know what happens to pipes when they freeze?

Yeah seriously go out and get yourself a key pronto! If she complains that you are entering her part of the house then tell her to fuck off and die cause you're not gonna suffer if you find it cold in the house, especially when she's away!
Edit: I forgot to ask, have you decided if you're going to return the gifts or not yet? Are you gonna take Mike's advice and give her dog shit instead? That was funny Mike.

I'm probably going to take her presents back, but I haven't decided completely yet. On the one hand it feels petty, but on the other hand, she's an inconsiderate bitch.
She's not getting back until the 28th or 29th, so I have some time to decide still.

I don't see why she would deserve any presents. Santa would definitely put her on the naughty list. And you should put her on the "inconsiderate bitch" list.

Christmas will be long over by that time; no holiday, no presents, no problems!
If she wanted Christmas, she should have spent it there with you.
Life is all the eternity you get, use it wisely.

Well it's pretty simple, return the presents or I'm sending you off to Evil School until you're evil enough to return them.Zaia wrote:Noooooooooooo! I'm on vacation! No school! *flees*

It sounds like she doesn't deserve presents of any sort. If it were me, I wouldn't make a big deal about it - I'd just quietly return the presents to the store where you bought them.
