as for giving someone a donation and sucking, well do you ASK everyone exactly what they would like for christmas - - what if you give me a sweater and I DON"T LIKE THAT PARTICULAR COLOR. for the love of god it is a GIFT - which means no one DESERVES IT, they should be glad they got something. In the end, if i chose to spend my hard-earned money to give a donation in their name they should be bloody grateful i thought about them at all
which reminds me, i'm definitely giving a donation in your name STE - merry fucking christmas

But you're NOT GETTING THEM ANYTHING! You're giving someone ELSE something, and saying that THEY did it! How can they be "glad they got something" when THEY DIDN'T? It does something for someone else, but the whole point of a GIFT is that it's for the person that it's for. Just be honest and tell them you got them junk mail, because that's what they're going to be getting all because you wanted to give some starving kid over in Wherever-The-Fuck money in your friend's name. Yes, wonderful, you're doing a good thing and don't let anybody say any different, but at least be fucking honest about what exactly it is that you're doing. Don't call it a gift for your friend because it's fucking NOT. What the fuck is there for your friend, who got NOTHING, to be grateful about.
"Hey, you should be happy about the fucking pile of nothing I got for you, Mr. Overprivileged!" Well FUCK that. Tell them you didn't get them anything, but that you put a donation in their name, the fact that you gave money to someone is good, but DON'T tell them to be grateful when you didn't do SHIT for your friend.
BTW, YES I ask people what they want for Christmas. That's how I know what they want. Does it mean I'll get it for them? Not necessarily because a lot of the time I can't afford it. But I still ask. And I especially wouldn't do THIS without asking them about it, cause for all I know they don't care about the situation any more than I do. Which is none.
And as for you saying I was expected to do something or not, I didn't say you did. I was speaking in generalities.
