Do You Pretend You Like A Bad Present?
When you get a present that you really don't like, do you act excited or are you brutally honest and tell them that you really don't like it?
I am the person who will lie and say that I love a gift even though I don't like it at all. I am apparently in the majority. I guess I don't see the reason to hurt someone. Especially since they put thought and time into it.
According to a new survey from Businesswire.com, 73% of us regularly FAKE our reaction to bad presents. Only one out of 10 people will actually admit they don't like a gift.
Here are some more results from the survey that will make you question every present you've ever given . . .
1. The average person figures out whether they like a gift or not within five seconds.
2. Moms are twice as likely to give bad presents compared to dads . . . but the overwhelming pick for the WORST gift giver is your significant other.
3. 20% have gotten into an argument with their partner over a bad present . . . and 11% of people have almost broken up over it.
4. Three out of 10 people hide their disappointment with a bad gift by hugging the person who gave it to them long enough to avoid any awkwardness.
5. And only 37% of people have been able to tell that someone was disappointed with a present they gave them.
