daddies little princess

[NikonL]

It doesn't matter what it is, a car to those folks is nothing, but like i said in my reply to tris, they fucked up on the detail, and thats what matters. The only diffrence was the colour, she wanted Blue, it seems her fav colour is blue, so her parents are willing to spend the money but not willing to take the time and sort out the 1 simple detail that it must be blue, blue is her fav colour and her parnets didn't know or cba to make effort to look for a blue car.

If i asked my gf, kids, parents for friends what they wanted for xmass and i could afford to buy it and had no problem buyining it i sure as hell wouldn't fuck up on the minor details.

If you ask for an iron maiden cd and you get puff daddy, it fucking lame to say well it's a cd be gratefull, be gartfull of what? someone walking into a shop and paying for a random cd that you may or may not like.

It's about effort not cost.

You really must be spoiled? How are you not getting it already. YES it would be thoughtless of her parents not to know her favourite colour is blue. But oh my fucking god you must have the decency not to ball them out? Even if they do fuck up on the details, sometimes people make MISTAKES, or maybe there were no blue cars left?

You dont throw a world class hissy fit. If you get pissed off at your friends because they thought you wanted a Puff Daddy CD instead of an Iron Maiden CD, then im suprised you have any left. It's not like they deliberately went and bought Puff Daddy to piss you off. (well, maybe as a joke, but thats still within the realms of friendship). They obviously thought you would like it, and they took the time out and spent money getting if for you.

After looking at BOTH videos rather than just the first one:

Both are in the wrong!

Parents show off how they think they can throw money at thier kids and think that is enough.

The girl stated in the second video that she told them exactly what she wanted. Therefore the parents messed up big time by not thinking, to kids these details can be important.

The girl is wrong also, because she should be more grateful that the parents have made the effort in the first place, rather than just ignoring thier kids like other parents do. Just throwing money at them is better than ignoring them, i guess.

Also

That annoying twat behind the camera needs a big slap.

agree with you and ez. it shows how little her fake parents pay attention to her, given that a numerous of factors didnt play a part in it not turning blue (ordered abroad and just arrived so couldnt get repainted etc)

 

[Mojo]

So, you'd be pissed off at people buying you a wrong gift, but would you stomp around screaming and crying?
You could exchange it for god's sake.

I would be pissed of at the lack of thought, but then lack of thought pisses me off regardless. Stomping arround isn't my thing and yeah i would exchange it. Then i would wonder why (the parents in this case) made such a big cock up regarding my likes and dislikes lets face it 30k on car and getting the colour wrong is a bit af a screw up.

When you gf gets pissed off with ur gifts it is always down the the fact that you have just handed them something that says "I have no clue and i don't pay attention to you" this is what her folks said pretty much.

thats a valid point as well, she's a spoilt brat, no doubt about it, but why couldnt the father get the car repainted, he could afford it if he can buy a car like that. and she has such an annoying voice

compare the cd as the car and the band name as the colour.'

also, i think its a ripoff from interstate 66 or w/e. dad gets son a car, son dont care but he likes blue and dad likes red. dad gets him red.

I never said balling her out was good, in fact I made no comment about it I just said I would be pissed off, and no i'm not spoilt and never have been. I am at that age where i don't get much for xmass. I am a parent and by stuff for my family but i do think about what i am getting them and why, and I make the effort to get it right.

 

[tris-]

mojo i know where you coming from.
last year i got 10 boxes of showergel/deo combos from the family. what a fucking waste of money. i mentioned if anyone wants to buy them id rather they give the money to charity. which my mam did this year, and i bought 2 text books for some african school kids

but if my 20grand car that i got for FREE happend to be the wrong colour, i wouldnt give a fuck. if i acted like that id except the car to be taken from me.

Didn't you just say that them buying a car is like someone buying you a t-shirt? So...err....you'd accept getting pissy about a wrong colored t-shirt? Or am i missing your reasoning here

The point i tried to make is, you can WISH for something, but if you don't get it(especially "favorite color" since it's not really an every day topic), you don't have the right to rampage.

They can TRY to get your favvy gift, but in no case can you complain about a free gift.

By the way, mothers day is for giving thanks for raising you up, providing care and comfort. Not about pushing your melon sized head out of a hole the size of a lemon

I am the same i told people to buy nothing rather than waste their money. I had 4 gifts all told this year and a bit of cash, i used the money to buy nicer things for others. (I buy what I want and need when I want it so im tough to buy for)

but if my 20grand car that i got for FREE happend to be the wrong colour, i wouldnt give a fuck. if i acted like that id except the car to be taken from me.

It's a big deal to the rest of us, but looking at that gift and their house, im sure that car is like a Hi Karate Gift Pack to them.

but this is america we are talking about though, everyone is on 100k dollars a year and owns a mansion. your forgetting their money is worthless compared to our £

Sweater i said, and buying the wrong colour is thoughtless especially from family and when u specifically said u want X colour.

The point i tried to make is, you can WISH for something, but if you don't get it(especially "favorite color" since it's not really an every day topic), you don't have the right to rampage.

Well my daughter loves pink, do we discuss it nope, but do i spend time with her and pay attention and notice that she is always wearing pink, looking at pink things YES, so i got her a pink phone this year when she said she wanted a new phone.

They can TRY to get your favvy gift, but in no case can you complain about a free gift.

Not as publicly

I want, ney, demand you to come back when you "all of a sudden" get whipped by your daughter for buying a pink sweater when she "suddenly" likes blue

Especially with teenagers.

But buying a wrong colored thing is not something to get pissy about. Well, unless you're buying for a wife or a girlfriend. That's the only case. And not getting sex is punish enough

 

[tris-]

well there is being thoughtless but there is also abscent mindlessness (sp?!?).

thoughtless is aunty suzy giving you one of the items she got in the 3 for 2 christmas sale at boots.

being abscent mindless imo is someone buying you a present with the honest belief they think youd like it. like my grandad got me a xxl top when i am in fact only a large. sure he thought it would fit and i would like it, but sadly its too big.

im not gonna rant at him for being a fucking idiot though.

 

[Ormorof]

a gifts a gift, if it doesnt fit go get it exchanged, but at least put the effort in to look appreciative, and throwing a monster of a hissy fit over the wrong colour car? that is spoilt, regardless of what you asked for, you should accept what you get, thats why i never ask for anything as i prefer it to be a suprise

 

[mikke]

what a bit'ch

 

[cHodAX]

Fucking whining bitch, bullet to the temple might sort her attitude. Although the bitch would probably have a hissy fit because the blood doesn't match the colour of her eyes, clothes and phone!

[liloe]

Well I think what Dukat and Ez said is basically right. Parents should know what their children like and same goes for partners. It's not the amount that makes the present, it's the background. I prefer having something small that shows that someone understands me, than being subject of a massive money attack. I'd prefer a good book over some gold chain I'd never wear if you ask me. If I want a necklace, I'm buying one =)) (silver ofc, with a small Mjöllnir attached to it)

Sure it's cool to get valuable stuff, but the point is that I'm not poor myself, I can buy most of the stuff I want, so I prefer it if people actually pay attention before giving a present. Up to this day it has (nearly) always worked out, except for a few standard presents (my Grand-Grandma used to offer some really yuck sweets for years, till my grandma gave her a little hint =)) ).

I mean I'd never go yelling around like that, but offer me some Hip-Hop CD for birthday and I will think of it as joke. If it's not, I really have no clue what I would do so I'm glad that my friends know me =)

 

[MaCaBr3]

It's fucking fake you drama queens.

 

[liloe]

It's fucking fake you drama queens.

We all know that by now, but the discussion has developped to a general exchange of views about presents =)

 

[Heta]

It's fucking fake you drama queens.

The video may be fake, still don't change the fact that there are plenty of spoiled brats out there that act like that.

Probably, but I don't know any in my immediate surrounding so I don't care

 

[Tilda]

ez, I call my mum mummy, and my dad daddy.
whats the problem with it, its a term of affection and endearment?

 

[MaCaBr3]

Well I understands Mojo's point of view, aldough he has really strong opinion about it, I can agree with it.

For instance, if I were a kid and my parents would ask me: what do you want for your birthday and I'd say: a PS3. But the when I open my present and I'd see an XBON 360, I think I would not be pissed off, but I wouldn't like my present. Cuz I would so be hoping on a having a PS3, but instead I get a pos Xbox.

About the video, in the end it is'nt about her getting the car. She's a woman, they pay more attention to how it looks then how it performs. (exept for dildos). She doesn't wont a supercharged 3L V6 with 19" rims, she wants a BLUE car. If her daddy can't even figure that out and buys her a red car, then he's a fucking idiot.

 

[old.Tohtori]

ez, I call my mum mummy, and my dad daddy.

Yeah and i call my mother by her first name and my dad a bastard who should die of aids.

What's the big deal?

Oh and if i got a 360 instead of a PS3 that i WISHED for, i wouldn't mind at all. It's still a superb gift of ridicilous proportions.

 

[MaCaBr3]

To me it was simple tbh, I wasn't a spoiled child, but if my parents would buy me a present they took me with to the store so I could choose it myself. The same way I buy presents for my friends, if'd really knew what they want I'd do my best to buy it for them, otherwise I'd just give them gift certificates so they can buy whatever they want.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Hmm. Guess it's all down to people.

Last 4 years i've spent my b-day like usual, having one scotch at the local pub. It's like a , well, "religion" sorta thing to unwind

But, i bet a few of you would have gone ballistic over this:

Last b-day i got:

Congratulation call from grandmother. (yei...)
Some cash from grandmother and aunt.
40 euro from my mother.
Congratulations from my bro and 20 euro for my poker account.

The cash i got from aunt, grams and mother was used to buy food by the way.

Also congratulations from two of my friends when i happened to mention it.

And people are screaming over the color of a sweater

I was happy as a puppy by the way over my bday, though even this forum didn't remember!

 

[MaCaBr3]

My last birthday I got:

drunk with my friends

Whoot.

 

[Mojo]

Not everyone does birthdays, I don't and neither do most my friends, but it's a huge deal for some people. In fact I know only 2 people who make thier b-days big occasions, the rest are take it or leave it and 1 is leave it or else. If you really like a big deal then let it be know, if not then you have nothing to worry about.

 

[Tasslehoff]

ez, I call my mum mummy, and my dad daddy.

I'm pretty sure you missed the point, think the point was near-grown ups (or adults for that matter,) yelling DADDIIIEIIIEEIE like a whining dog, not the word "daddy".

I do not know if this is true though, but that was the thought that hit me, reading Ez's post.
