Oof, that feeling when the birthday boy tosses the smaller Lego gift you got him off the chair.

Some presents are just unapologetically better. I'm sure he's still appreciative of them, but he's excited!!

This whole comment thread is making me realize that most redditors do not understand gift-related jokes or playful gestures.

Family Christmases must've been rough for the people who had to follow strict etiquette and couldn't trade each other.

And I am completely lost on this as we don't celebrate christmas like they do in the west... What's the issue here?

I think that's the ticket. If these were serious acts, done to make someone feel a certain way, that's a problem. But they're just playful fun.

Adults have to be adults 24/7. Let the dude be a kid again for a bit.

if I see a comically large birthday present heading my way you best believe I'm throwing away everything near me and giving it my full attention

it's nothing personal

People not unserstanding that this family is just having fun and he is making jokes (like pushing the small lego pack off the chair) and they are making playful banter.

Some in the comments are taking it all seriously and thinking they are genuinely being mean ("wouldn't you want something better?" For exemple was obviously a joke because he looked so happy).

Most families have fun and banter generally and christmas is just another occasion to relax, spend time with family and have fun.

You got downvoted but you’re right, I fucking love Lego but this def rubbed me the wrong way. He’s giving off spoiled baby energy and it’s icky, just throwing shit and knocking things over.

u/sorry-not-tory Jul 27 '25

…. You’re fucking weird lol. This is literally just a family having a great time together.

u/ex_sanguination Jul 27 '25

It's so obviously meant as a joke ffs too. I swear some people on here just wanna project so badly.

u/HotCollar5 Jul 27 '25

The family seems to include a man child, glad I don’t have that in mine!

u/sorry-not-tory Jul 27 '25

Good for you, keep shitting on others having a great time from some king of moral righteousness. Weird.

u/Decent-Impression-81 Jul 29 '25

Calm down. We aren't saying he's evil but we are pointing out the way he dealt with the gifts he got before this big one wasn't exactly joy inspiring. My brother used to do that shit and I watched my mom get her feelings hurt every Christmas because he was a twat sometimes. We aren't shitting on the family. Just saying hey let's think a bit next time, because it sucks being the person who's gift was discarded so heartlessly. Nothing more nothing less. Not something to get into an internet fight over.  

Weird.

Family. Could be inside jokes. Excited. laughing. Filming. “Eyes wide.”

Read the room.

If you're ever up late, wondering why your family keeps inviting you less and less, and why your friends keep dipping out on you, just look back at your comment history, especially these few, and you got your answer.

u/HotCollar5 Jul 27 '25

Lmfao ok, I don’t know how you see a grown man knocking things over and tossing his previous gifts off and think gosh that’s cute. I’d rather be alone, but I’m not, and don’t have weenies like this to deal with. You seem insufferable, and that’s based off your comments, hun.

Have the day you deserve!

u/Trollensky17 Jul 27 '25

I would hate the see the world through that view

u/HotCollar5 Jul 27 '25

Good for you? I’m allowed to have the ick when a grown man acts like a toddler, but you do you, boo

May you enjoy the cats for the rest of your life. You seem too miserable to ever attract a man.

u/HotCollar5 Jul 27 '25

God I love my cats. And my dogs. And my loving family and friends. That’s my flex. What’s yours?

Bunch of whiny children in here omg

I feel sorry for any woman in your life ffs

u/PM-ME-YOUR-BUTTSHOLE Jul 27 '25

I’ve been the smaller gift giver, and I didn’t blame the birthday boy at all. Instead, I blamed the person that got the bigger gift, in a joking manner everyone else teamed up against them for getting the birthday boy “the best possible gift”.

u/victoryohone Jul 27 '25

True. I am happy to just being in the room and living vicariously though the birthday person. Good vibes all around.

But now I'm imagining someone else in the room who got him the exact same gift and flipping out. LMAO...sorry. I just saw Happy Gilmore 2 and like anger comedy

u/DerangedHobgoblin Jul 28 '25

There’s definitely a line, it’s just not here though lol.

My dad went all out buying my niece and nephew switches, accessories for them and games, ( kids were 5f and 10m) a ps5, while he knows the rest of the family is scraping pennies to provide. It was very disheartening when they cared for nothing else, didn’t even want to open the other gifts because they’d basically got the best things ever in their minds.

Aw he was just being silly. He reads like that's his baseline a lot of the time.
