The Thoughts You Have When Receiving the Worst Present Ever

We've all been there: it's your turn to open a gift, and upon tearing open the wrapping paper, you're met with the worst gift of all time. Whether it's a ugly shirt from your Great Aunt Fannie, or a gift card to Chico's from your Uncle Jim, all you can do is smile and thank them. Here's a list of thoughts that are probably running through your brain when this unfortunate event happens to you:

1. Oh God, their track record isn't very good in the gift department, I'm actually afraid of what's inside this box.

.

2. Oh awesome, a sweater....is this supposed to be an ugly Christmas sweater? Do I laugh? No, wait it think it's supposed to be a normal sweater...dear GOD.


3. Everyone's looking at me, smile and nod, flip it over, pretend to admire the stitching...

4. I'm actually offended, look how big this thing is, are you trying to send me a message, Uncle Jim?!

5. Alright, I have to say something now..."I love it! Thank you so much!"

6. Was that believable? God it actually pained me to say.

7. Where can I burn this?

8. Is there a gift receipt?

9. Wait, what? They're making me put it on?!

10. Check me out, I'm the sexiest woman in the land.

11. Well, it could be worse. At least I didn't get a napkin holder like my sister.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
