My Crystal Ball Says, “Stop _ _ _ _ _ Assholes!” (Part 2)
October 15, 2014
What does a girl buy a guy she’s only been dating for a few days? This was my dilemma immediately following our 36-hour 1st date.
I asked friends and family and after hearing ideas that ranged from “nothing” to “take him out to dinner” I settled on what I believed to be an appropriate gift for our situation and had a box of gourmet chocolates delivered to his office with a card that read, “Happy Birthday! Wishing you a great day!”
At 10:15am the morning of his birthday, I received the email notification that the gift had been successfully delivered.
I was excited and couldn’t wait for him to call me to let me know that he had received the present.
So I waited…..
And I waited….
And I waited some more.
By 1:00pm I still hadn’t heard from him.
Convinced that someone in his office had accepted the gift and placed it in a package room without him even knowing (because why else wouldn’t he have called me to thank me) I gave in and sent him a text:
Me: Happy Birthday!
Him: Thank you.
Me: R u at work? I sent you something – it was signed for by the mail room.
Him: I am at work and I did get something. Thank you so much. I’m thinking about you.
8 hours later….
Me: Hey
The next morning…
Him: Hey good morning beautiful. Thank you very much for my gift.
Me: Hey – Ur welcome! Were they good?
Him: Yes. I would have loved to share them with you.
To be continued…..

Yeah, another real prince, this one. Ugh.
That really is one of the more vile things to do—make someone ask after a gift they have given. Putz.

I must say, dear Ms. N., your low-grade sadism is a mite surprising.
Have you any intentio to continue—G-d forbid, conclude—the
saga of this louse-riddled baboon?

Excuse my interjecting of the Vulgate form. That should have read, “Have you an INTENTION…”.
