ah yeah, I'm this ungrateful bastard...

[(Anonymous)]

So I took part in a sorta gift exchange this year. I made a point to include in my wishlist "do NOT give money to LiveJournal in my name in any way" and someone still bought me a V-gift over there.

Yeah, it's a gift. Yeah, the person (probably) thought it would cheer me up. (I'm not that much paranoid yet that I would believe anyone would purposefuly buy something just to spite me. Seriously.) No, they didn't owe me anything. No, it didn't cost them much. Yeah, I know I'm supposed to thank them anyway. But it still it rubs me the wrong way.

It's not as bad as, say, a coupon for meat to a vegetarian or making in your name a donation to a political party you loathe. But it still irks a bit.

yikes

sticky situation

I say just say thank you and try to let it go

some people are really weird about gift-giving and there is no way to reason with them without hurting their feelings

and lj is already a drama-filled mine, so I say avoid causing drama and resentments and stuff as much as you can

I think you can disable the ability to receive V-gifts on LJ, if you want to prevent this from happening in the future. I know you can on DW.

They may have very well not spent any money.

I know at one point LJ was more into doing little contests so they could promote their tokens and I wound up with a a handful of tokens that I had no idea what to do with. And, after sitting on them for a good while, I finally proceeded to V-gift people on my Friends list just to make them go away.

Maybe it was free? Didn't LJ have random free gifts each month?

Other than that, maybe they didn't see your wishlist or just skimmed it and didn't notice that?

Sorry though, I can totally understand how that would be upsetting/annoying. :(

It still does. *runs off to give friends gingerbread men*

For me it is the equivalent of making a donation in my name to a political party I loathe.

(da)
For me too. I loathe LJ's Russian Overlords!
