What's the most ungrateful thing someone has done to you fs?

I couldn't pick the worst and that made me sad so I'm going to share what I've done because I handle embarrassment and shame better than sadness.

Someone made me a beautiful hand-knitted doll for me but I didn't play with dolls and thought the colors were ugly so I left it somewhere it would get taken by another child I knew had sticky fingers. I was right and I pretended to be upset that I "lost" it. The worst part is that the lady felt so bad it had been taken she teared up and apologized to me. She was leaving too soon to make another and knew she wouldn't be able to afford the shipping from her home country so she bought me several books from a thrift store.

I loved those books. Which kind of makes me feel worse about the whole incident. :(

I'm the opposite. I handle sadness was better than embarrassment and shame, which is why I cannot bring myself to post signed in because I am forever embarrassed about what I write.

/offtopic

I'm plenty embarrassed by myself on here all the time. As unbelievable as it might seem post plenty truly anonymous here. Yes. I get sillier than this.

But I'm just really good at feeling bad about myself, not so good at being uncharitable about other people unless they've done something to someone not me.

Sometimes it just feels like I sound like a whiner fishing for sympathy whenever I talk about something bad happening to me. :/
But I understand where you're coming from.

Gratitude isn't a concept I understand very well. So I don't consider anybody "ungrateful", no matter what they do; although I do suspect that my actions usually make me a very ungrateful person.

When I graduated and they asked me what I was grateful for, I said: "I'm grateful that you never expelled me".

Ugh. Yes, this. I get uncomfortable in the face of positive attention and make self-deprecating remarks that later I realize might have come across as dismissive, rude, or ungrateful. *fistbump of awkward solidarity*?

*fistbump* :)

Sometimes I hate how I hurt people with this. More often, though, I cannot be bothered.

It didn't happen to me, but one of my friends (who I'm not very close to) complained when her grandma gave her a good deal of money because when she called to say thank you her grandma mentioned that my friend was only calling because she got money, not because she wanted to talk to her grandma. Which is true. But my friend complained about how mean her grandma was.

Situations like that bug me. It was a gesture to say thank you. That's...what it is. If she wanted her granddaughter to chat, then call to chat. Don't give her money and expect her not to call explicitly to say thank you. Ugh.

I can kind of see both ways; I mean, on the one hand I agree with you a lot, but on the other hand, knowing my friend, she could have embellished on how "mean" her grandma.

people keep complaining because i moved to dreamwidth, even though i saved their subject lines and am under a better administration now

:/

Sorry, fs. You can't ever please everyone though and that's okay!

There was this girl who used to be one of my good friends. She's had a very abusive boyfriend who she's living with and one day he kicked her out, she called asking if she can stay at my house. I say yes because I was worried about her well being and tried to talk to her about calling the cops on his ass but she keeps changing the conversation and tells me that there's so reason to because it's all over. A week later I see the asshole in my apartment with her they're having an argument and I tell him to gtfo my house and he attempts to grab me and threw a chair at me, I run the hell out and called the cops. Later the girl is crying telling me not to press charges, tells me that I'm a huge cunt and I told her to go fuck herself.

A hobo was asking for food and I was in a really good mood so I gave my box of leftover sushi rolls/tempura and he just look at it and throws it in the garbage in front of me. Still makes me wanna rage..That could have been my dinner.

Holy shit I would never fucking let that go. It would literally haunt me forever.

Bought someone a big candy thing for christmas once. It was kind of expensive and I didn't have much money to spend, but it was their favorite and it was gigantic, so I sprung for it. They ate half of it that day after much oohing and ahhing.

The next day they gave the other half of it to someone else. They said it was too big for them to eat, and yeah it was big (that was the point), but seriously, they could have wrapped it up and saved it for later. Or at least not told me about it. :(

That wouldn't bug me. I like sharing stuff, even stuff other people have given me as gifts, though I don't usually tell the giver about it. I just think of it as them being nice and giving a gift to someone else.

For Christmas one year I got really good gifts for all my friends and none of them gave me even a card. I don't mean to whine, because gifts should be an act of love and not about what you get in return and everything, but the fact that no one even bothered to give me a thank-you card or anything just made me feel... unappreciated, I guess.;; (And I gave them the gifts like two weeks before Christmas, so it's not like I caught them by surprise and they didn't have anything. So yeah.)

Well, I can't speak for all of them, but it's possible that some simply couldn't afford it? I rarely give anyone gifts on christmas because I'm just that poor [I can afford what I *need* - and am eternally grateful the place I have has free wifi...But beyond that? I have to say for weeks just to have a spare 20 bucks] so it does happen for some people.

All my friends at the time (with one exception) had more spending money than me and were always going out and buying things I couldn't afford, so I doubt that was the case for them. If it was, I wouldn't have minded (and in the case of my one friend who didn't have much money, I didn't).
