Ungrateful cow

So I texted my sister to ask if she wanted our old TV. We're getting rid of it because I've heard they can spontaneously combust. She said no. I think she's being terribly ungrateful, and now I have to think of something else to give her for Christmas - I thought it could be her early present. I was only thinking of Bob the Builder: "Reduce, Reuse, Torch a sister." She really is a bit of a picky princess.

  3. Sounds like my sister.
    I think I might try out the "bob the builder" theory of re-gifting. :-)

  7. What is that saying 'One mans junk is another mans treasure' Obviously she doesn't realise what a treasure it is, a veritable antique.

  9. I say, put it outside her door, set it one fire, and run away.

  10. How about your old breastpump for a Christmas present?! She'll take the first option on offer the next time...!

  11. Tanya: bahahaha!
    so we all have these ungrateful little shits in our lives, eh?
    My sisters are Hippies (yes with a capital H) who don't shave underarm or leg hairs and only use organic shampoos (which don't work, leaving their hair greasy). But in the beginning I thought they didn't shave because they didn't have money for razors, so I bought the finest and offered it to them....nope. wouldn't take it. but i think the gift was more for me than for them...afterall, unshaved pits are sexy in their world.
