A Chocolate Orange
We want to emphasize that you have every right to tell your family if you don’t like something they’ve given you. It is not impolite to appreciate and thank them for their thoughtfulness. But, to avoid offending people, you don’t have to pretend to like them.
Because if you do, you might end up like this person, who receives a chocolate orange every year that she despises. You dig yourself a hole, and it becomes increasingly difficult, to tell the truth about how much you like or dislike something.
Girl Gamers Don’t Exist, Right?
In online gaming communities, it’s a common belief that there are no girls who play games, only guys pretending to be girls. Of course, we all know this isn’t true, but that doesn’t rule out the possibility of men impersonating women online. Right now, there’s one such person.
He apparently hasn’t found the right moment to inform his online friends that he is, in fact, male, but it doesn’t appear that his little lie is causing anyone any harm. His friends, on the other hand, may still feel betrayed.
