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.

Anthony Jeselnik. Fantastic comic

Anon should've probably at least opened the book but she also put all her hopes into that single note. Pretty silly move

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

well it was pretty clear he didn't, why would she have to ask?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I mean if she wanted to know how he felt about her

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

you mean she could've avoided wasting money on a book? I guess, but confessing through this way is kind of cute.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

I mean yeah, simplest would've been just to ask. The book and the note was a cute idea but didn't quite play out the way she was hoping lol

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.
