ALF was a great TV show.
But let’s be honest, you may not want to own the wise-cracking, cat-eating alien’s first three seasons on DVD.
So if you land ALF, or a fondue kit, or a shot glass chess set, or a gelato maker, or a sweater that doesn’t fit you, or the Wheel of Fortune board game, then you may find yourself saying “Oh thank you, it’s just what I always wanted,” when you’re actually thinking “Oh thank you, it’s just what I never wanted.”
That’s why it’s great when you see the gift receipt just laying in the box after you pull out the gift. You avoid the awkward “It’s okay if you don’t like it” (No, no, I do), “I wasn’t sure if it was something you wanted” (No, no, it is), “They have it in black too if you don’t like green” (No, no, I like green), or “I can give you the receipt if you don’t like it” (No, no, I like it) conversations.
Yes, when the gift receipt is already in the box, there are no questions asked, no questions answered. It’s just sitting there, a secret wink, a private head-nod, a quiet understanding between you and the very kind, very generous, very thoughtful person who gave you the present.
AWESOME!
ALF kinda creeps me out… o__O
I’ve never seen the show, but the pics are all creepy!
I love this so much! Even when people insist their feelings won’t be hurt I completely stress out and usually end up not saying anything so as to spare any feelings of theirs. Because this drama will literally make me feel guilty and sick I always try to attach gift receipts to presents I give. And I secretly give a sigh of relief when I see a gift receipt attached to something I get, even if I think I will keep it :)
I always get a gift receipt, just in case. There’s always that one person who is just really hard to shop for.
