Totally agree!

Make a meal, using the oil and vinegar set. Don't even give them the set.

Somebody told me That you had a boyfriend Whose dad had a girlfriend That got you some bar soap And a sequined dress It smelled like a hot mess Year's end you'll don this While clutching that purse around

If you actually wear this then YDI.

I suddenly crave a salad.

Who the eff thinks olive oil and vinegar is a good present?

Sounds like they have a kink thing they want to use you for. Come up with an excuse to not even go to their party.

OP here. I didn't create an account because I didn't think this would get posted. Thanks for making my day! I just wanted to clarify some things, especially about the olive oil and vinegar gift set. The father is Italian and appreciates a good bottle of vinegar and oil, I'm not talking about the regular kinds you can get at the supermarket, but olive oil that is cold pressed and infused with rosemary herbs, the vinegar is infused with dark espresso and they both gushed about it. Now, about the soap, it is not "fancy" or thoughtful, it was a square bar of soap (think Dial) in a Ziplock bag, the soap had no wrappings. Had I not notice the foul odor coming from the armpit area of the dress, I would have agreed that the dress probably just absorbed some of the smell from her house, but in this case, I highly doubt it. Also, the dress tag was put in through a thread loop, not through the fabrics, and the tag was already yellowed with stains. The Coach leather bag itself had a strong leather smell, but what I smelled was something resembling sweaty feet, the purse had dried white stains on it and parts of the leather was scratched up. Needless to say, you won't see me wearing any of those things on New Years Eve. Happy Holidays everyone!

Your post annoys me for a few reasons: 1) You pretending like dry cleaning doesn't exist, even though it obviously does (otherwise, why would you be complaining and moaning about the dress/purse smelling bad, when they can obviously just be professionally dry-cleaned for like $15 or less? 2) "Covered in her body odor" makes you sound like a b*tch 3) You got her an olive oil and vineger set. Who the hell wants that? You really can't complain about bad gifts, considering you are also giving bad gifts. 4) Used or not, you should have been appreciative. 5) You also shouldn't be cowardly. If you simply don't want to wear the dress, then you can tell her to her face like a brave adult, instead of cowering about it on FML, moaning about how horrible your life is, conveniently pretending like dry-cleaning does not exist and pretending that you gave her a good gift. At any rate, you shouldn't act like this is the end of the world. If you don't wanna wear it, then don't wear it, but don't act like you have been victimized. 6) Your attitude over Christmas and your sense of entitlement kill me too. Who the heck complains about what a non-blood-family member got them for Christmas? Just be glad she got you something, stop acting entitled and shut up. 7) You acting like such a pompous elitist narcissist. Again: An oil and vinegar set. Really?

So you both got shitty presents
