I normally don't do Kris Kringles because I always seem to get the ever loving gag gifts. This year no exception.
In this Kris Kringle once you got a gift and didn't open it you could exchange it for a gift someone opened.
So everyone picked a number and got to pick which gifts they like and could exchange them with someone else if they haven't opened their gift..
So I exchanged a bottle of wine for a DVD. Then this idiot co-worker of mine picks up the gifr he brought for the Kris Kringle (I know it was his own gift because he stopped by earlier to ask where to drop it off the gift and although he was hiding it "I am woman therefore I am detective" I saw part of the wrapping (I am really observant).
And quickly exchanged gifts with me and of course his gift he brought was a pair of extra large jock straps. Nice! I made a joke of it at first but I called him on his shit right after that by letting it be known to the whole room what he did. I said that I knew exactly who this was from and stared directly at him while saying it. Needless to say there was no more laughter at that point. I literally saw him shrink from embarassment in his seat.
I got a call later on that night from one of friends to see how pissed I actually was ans even he admitted it was a crappy thing he did. It's one thing if you pick the gift and get stuck with it but for someone to pick the gift they brought in and give it you was not a nice thing to do.
Needless to say I have a voicemail and the DVD was at my desk with note on saying "No hard feelings. Happy Holidays!"
But I live by the motto "Actions speak louder then words".
So needless to say their will be a part two this Kris Kringle incident at work.
