It’s the best thing period, there’s no fuckups on the item then. It took my family fucking years to comprehend that holy fuck I’m an adult who can buy their own shit whenever I want. Trying to guess what I might need or want when I buy things when I need or want them, AND telling them “just cash, thanks” and NOT GETTING CASH but stuff I had to return, is fucking awful. It tells the person that you don’t listen, that you think you know better than them, and that you are confident that you think you’re so correct in your gift choice that the first two can be ignored.
A few years ago, I needed a replacement office/gaming chair. I selected the chair, sent the person the link to Amazon, told them to click the coupon so they’d save, that I researched this chair and it’s the best under $200. Xmas rolls by, there’s an obvious chair wrapped in the room. Except it wasn’t the chair I specified - it was somehow both a more expensive and shittier chair, that was “on sale” and they believe ‘more money’ means ‘more better’. $500+ and the pos barely lasted through the ONE YEAR warranty. I had to buy my own replacement, and the original chair was still serviceable but I didn’t have it now so fuck me, now I’m spending my money because you don’t listen to me. I almost declined the chair in front of everyone and their gifts, but they threw away the fucking box, like fucks sake how dense can you be.
I ended up buying a fancy, expensive as fuck chair, with a 12y warranty that is supposed to be good for my back. 3x cost but 12x warranty. They have given up and just give me what I ask for now, like fucking finally. That only took ~25 years.
Plus it’s kinda awkward for some things. “Hey mom, yeah so I’ve been looking at some dildos from bad dragon, think you could be a pal and slide an XL David in natural colors with a blended soft/medium firmness under the tree for me? Trying to stretch my ass for my Master. Thanks.”
And no, gift cards aren’t cash. Gift cards fucking suck unwashed hairy donkey balls. Now I have to use PayPal from my account, add the card, send you the money minus 3% fee on top of any fees you paid to convert cash to an annoying piece of plastic, then login to your account, send the money back to me, then deposit it into my bank account. This could have been a $0 fee check that took 30 seconds but nooooooo you had to go to a store and buy a gift card and pay $4.95 so that I lose $7 on the transaction process. Fuck gift cards. I can’t pay my credit card, that I used to buy what I actually want, with fucking gift cards.
