Not a bad present just one I'd never use.

Gannicus

Don't wanna bring the festive cheer down but I have a question. I got a present which generally is a nice present but I have absolutely no use for it. Normally when this happens I just say cheers and store it away or give it to someone that would enjoy it.

Sadly this time that's not a option. This time I got the gift from someone I live with. Said person asked me if I'd use them when I opened the wrapping. I instinctively said "yeah" because I didn't want to be the fecker to ruin x-mas morning. I literally would not use them due to a mixture of opportunity and practicality.


So boardsies; I need a Christmas miracle or failing that a way to say that I wouldn't have any use for them when (not it but when) I get asked if I used them or if I like them.

Say you tried using it, but turns out you're allergic to it.

Until we know this the answer could range from stick it up your ass or eat it.

You ungrateful baxtard. As of now it's your favourite thingy. Starting today, you've always wanted this thingy, it's your favourite thingy ever. You want to make love to the thingy.

You're going to use every day from now on. That's how it's gonna go down.

Stick it up the turkey's arse

Why wouldn't you use them?

Larianne

Are they the sticy-in-your-ear ones or the big MASSIVE ones?

Make up an excuse about deafness. If they start asking you 20 questions, just say "sorry, what?"

shruikan2553

If its headphones then don't put it up your ass or eat them. They are an awkward shape for it. Just leave them sitting somewhere and say they sound great

Because I wouldn't.

Haha, sounds like they're fed up of hearing your music or domething.

syklops

Are they noise cancelling? Give them to me, I'd love a pair of noise cancelling headphones.

Larianne

Wait a week and say you left them on the bus or something.

Well I mean specific, is it because you have other headphones that are better, or because you don't listen to music or play games or anything else that would necessitate their use, or some other reason? Difference being how might advise you if we know why you wouldn't use them?

Sadly that won't work as I don't use public transport. I drive everywhere so that I can work to my own schedule.

humbert

The OP might not have ears. Thoughtless insensitive gift.

Tbh if you're really determined to never ever use them just say it and exchange them

Gannicus

But seriously,

If I left it until tomorrow or the weekend would I be an arsehole to say they're not my thing or that don't like them without coming off as an ungrateful arséholé

Left them at work,

Left them at a friends

Left them at a relatives,

never to be seen again..

I'm starting to think this is the reason...

As Christmas disasters go, this one ranks pretty high. Hope you find a solution soon OP

Leave it til tomorrow then say it

osarusan

Carefully hollow them out and fit the ones you usually use inside them.

Talib Fiasco

Surely you know someone who can use the headphones OP? Pawning off presents on others is what makes Christmas. One year I pawned off a used condom for a brand new car.

Sorry should have been clearer in my last post. If I get asked how they are or if I like them would I be better off saying to the person then that I don't like them or they're not my thing. I would prefer not to just go over to the person and say it.

You lied your way into it, lie your way out of it....

Immediately go for a walk using your 'gift' and a few steps down the street stuff them into a bin and slowly make your way back intermittently smacking your face and head into walls, railings, doors etc., until blood is streaming down your face. Stumble back in and tell the present giver that you were mugged for the extraordinary gift they gave you, should work, probably......

Dudda

Bring them to work and leave them there and if asked you use them at work.

It kinda sounds like you are ungrateful tbh. As Xmas gifts go, it's a pretty decent one. Maybe you should make an effort to get use of them. I can send you some unholy kvlt black metal if you need some tunes.

Links234

A good pair of headphones can be incredible and also really expensive, so I'm nearly twitching at the suggestions of leaving them on a bus or fecking them in a bin... :eek: exchange them or give them on to someone who'd appreciate them.

Montallie

You might not want the gift, but you surely want the love it came with, by the sound of your concern about offending. Though you really should have told him/her by now that you're deaf.

Paint them white and put a red "B" on them, youll be cool again

The bus or bin suggestions are so he/she can re-gift, no?

I never said it was. The title of the thread alone says that.

You're grand I have plenty of Folk Metal and Power Metal to listen to.

Apparently they got loads of folk metal and power metal to listen to, grand excuse to give em a try and blast out some Sabaton or Korpiklaani

RossieMan

would you not give them a try? its not all about the gift, the thought that came with them is worth than the actual gift. give them a go, they'll be fairly useful for movies/quiet time/music you'll find.

corner of hells

Put on the headphones , go out for a jog , five minutes into the jog give yourself a punch in the head , throw the headphones over a hedge.

Return home , distraught and say you got mugged and the headphones were robbed.

Your welcome , happy Christmas one and all.
