Anon is gifted a book

45 comments

Fate is deserved for not even opening his gift.
- And then blatantly lying about it.
  
  That part is relatable. I'm assuming they only did it to spare her feelings, though they should have at least tried to get into it and start reading it.
Grill dodged a bullet with this one. This anon seems to be really dumb. What kind of person never opens a gifted book, let alone one that is a gift from a girl? A person that doesn't read shit, that kind of person. She was clearly above him.
- Yeah I think this is obvious, anon clearly didn't give a shit about the gift so it's a clear sign for her to move on.
- Nature taking its course.
- Well, I got one once during a secret santa event. Put it on my to read list and never came around to it. Then I lent it to a friend and he told me, that there is a note for me inside, that I didn't know about.
  
  Secret Santa is clearly not the same as a gift from someone you're romantically interested in, though.
- Could've just never got around it. "I'll check it out tomorrow", then days turn to weeks and so on. Happens
plot twist: it was actually a girl the whole time and not a grill
- This has me Stoked
  
  Anon was on fire!
- Hot single grills in your area 🤤🔥
  
  I like my grills double for that evenly baked on both sides
Plot twist: the grill who gave him the book was actually just the lady who works at the books store. The "romantic note" was a receipt for the 10 volumes of Shota manga Anon had them special order for him. When he saw that it said "please shop with us again" at the bottom he almost fainted.
This makes me irrationally angry lol
- Don't worry, it's not real.
  
  sounds real autistic
  
  People will really say that even the most normal ass green texts are fake huh
100% deserved, at least open the fucking gift and don't lie to her about doing so. Girl dodged a huge bullet.
Sounds like she wanted it but was committed to taking the advice of that John Waters quote
- “I’ve always been willing to sell out. It’s just that no one has been willing to buy”
  
  Ah yes, a timeless quote.
  
  I meant the one about gatekeeping sex on bookreading but that could work too
Anon meant so much to her she couldn’t ask if he found the note?
- How is it her fault that he couldn't even be bothered to open a present from someone?
  
  He sounds like he deserves to be single.
  
  Well it's a good thing these stories are fake. The first time I heard it was from a standup comic where his grandma gave him a bible when he went off to college and she said to read it any time he needed money. In the pages was a note telling him to fuck off.
  
  Anon should've probably at least opened the book but she also put all her hopes into that single note. Pretty silly move
- well it was pretty clear he didn't, why would she have to ask?
  
  I mean if she wanted to know how he felt about her
- Gifting someone something and taking the time to write a thoughtful note is a very nice thing people do for each other.
  
  Typically you respond in kind with a “thank you for the gift and the card/note/well wishes attached”.
  
  These are what would be considered “polite social norms”.
  
  The girl slipping a note in to the gift and saying her feelings also is not crazy. It can be hard to put yourself out there.
  
  HOWEVER if someone straight snubs your gift it’s gonna be shitty even if it’s from a friend. He snubbed her, she got the message even if he didn’t know he was answering.
  
  This is normal human behavior folks.
Its probally for the best If its not writen by cory doctrow Why even bother.
This would haunt me forever til near suicide. I'd remember this whenever I feel alone...which would be hourly.

Edit: I'm talking about that missed once in a lifetime opportunity by being stupid.
- No, it wouldn’t because you would at crack open the book. It’s extremely common to write a note in the first few pages of a gifted book.
- Don't worry, you will find something else that will haunt you forever.
- Book sucks tho, Anon dodged a weirdo
  
  It doesn't matter at all if the book sucked.
