‘Didn’t Believe People Like This Existed’: Mom Finds Out Coworker’s Gift Is Below $50 Spending Limit, Asks For More
Some people like giving, others are all about receiving, but can you guess which category does this woman belong to? I’ll give you a hint: she looked up the price of the Christmas gift she received from her co-worker and bullied them into buying her a $120 tablet because it was $20 below the spending limit. And she used her children as leverage to do so. Not sure yet? Or maybe you can’t believe that people get that greedy during the holiday season? Either way, scroll down and take a look for yourself!

People thought this conversation was very, very ridiculous
What do you think ?

I refuse to believe that his conversation is real. I also refuse to believe there are people like this one out there.

The thing that makes it seem fake is the response offering to give the person another $20 rather than a throat punch.

Never look up how much the gifts you are given to costs (unless you want to resell it or something). Really, it's a very simple rule. The conversation could and maybe should have ended right after he found out she broke that rule and went looking it up and adding it behind his back (she could have just asked if it's that important to her). But he offered to add to it which would be fair to do and she should have been grateful for but instead she then asked for much more and things escalated quickly. You give someone an inch and they'll take a mile.

There’s the old saying, “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth,” for a reason.

even $30 on a co-worker you don't usually interact with is a bit much why is secret santa so expensive over there what i'm used to is usually as a little joke/small tradition and doesn't exceed 10E

Don’t forget, the pound is, and always has been, stronger than the dollar. For a gift that’s $50US, you only need £38.92GBP. But you’re right, I would never participate in a work Secret Santa that was more than $25. Even when the adults in my family looked over it rationally, it made sense to pick name from a hat, and the most you were supposed to spend was $40. But I promise I could justify my overage, since it was a safety issue for a 5 year old!! Plus, I make the least amount of money, so if I want to go over, that’s my problem.

I see this in the Military a lot. People with high rank and no children are seem like they have all the money in the world and we should pay more or give more to those that have children. Is sad that they do not see how wrong it is to conduct yourself like that, even worst that their kids will grow up with the same negative mentality.

I'm afraid that her kids will grow up to be just like her. These people should really go see poverty face to face, volunteer for a charity, the only way to open their eyes.

A $50 limit is a LIMIT. The gift can cost from .99c to $49.99, you don't top it up with cash. I bet she thought she did nothing wrong, using all of that sweet talking, oh thanks, I appreciate it.

Exactly! He did not have to spend exactly $50. It was nice of him to even offer money.
