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

    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.

    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.

    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?"

    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

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

    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.

    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

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