Everyone knows that the holiday season can put the pressure on for gift-giving. Not only are you responsible for finding the perfect gifts for your friends, family, and significant others, but many times you end up stuck in a company “Secret Santa” gift exchange where you have to find the perfect gift for a co-worker you barely know—bummer.
But, what do you do when you think your co-worker cheaped out on your gift and didn’t spend the $50 limit? Well, normally, the limit is there so people don’t go above $50—it’s not a number that they are supposed to hit. Some people opt to get $50 gift cards to stay on target, but, others try to make the gifts somewhat personal and thoughtful. However, one mother proved that some people are truly outrageous and greedy after she discovered a co-worker who was her “Secret Santa” spend below the $50 limit. Seriously, the balls on this lady.
The woman started out by thanking the co-worker for the blanket and chocolates they had given her.
But, she then disclosed that she looked up the blanket online—and the chocolates—and found out it only came out to $30. She then said that she wanted something else, blaming her kids for her lack of money. The guy even offered to get her something else worth $20 (why? I’m not even sure).
But, she had the balls to ask for a tablet worth $120. Obviously, that’s way over the $50 limit.
She then decided to guilt her co-worker into getting her the tablet for her because he “makes more than she does.” She said if he didn’t want to get the tablet she would take the $120 in cash—so kind of her.
After the co-worker explained, calmly and kindly that $120 is above the limit and above his budget for a gift, she decided to go ape-sh*t on him. She told him he’s “disgusting” and then, asked for the extra $20 in cash. By this point, her co-worker was completely done (and rightfully so).
People online were pretty disgusted by her behavior.
Sorry, not sorry, but this woman is bugging. The holidays are about being grateful and thankful, not about trying to milk people for all they are worth. This woman needs a wakeup call. Seriously, don’t be like this “Carol.”

Promising Review: “So far so good. Used w,1 bottle. Had to add a pump after 1 day then later 3 more. Drank the rest yummmm Love that you can see if still sealed! I have now used for almost a year…every bottle has stayed fresh. It is now my favorite gift to give. EVERYBODY needs one!” – C Bittner
Promising Review: “Best idea I had to buy this. It blocks out the light on flights and car rides. It fits as tight as you wish around your neck by adjusting the hood ropes. Felt extremely comfortable although may look a little silly. Slept over 5 hours on a international flight.” – Renee
Promising Review: “My wife and I really enjoy this little beer dispenser. Heck, my wife wouldn’t even drink beer from a bottle or can until we purchased this fizzics machine. The design is truly unique, the beer tastes great, and better yet it’s the closest thing that will make your beer taste like draft other than draft from an actual keg!” – LeVan’s
Promising Review: “This is by far the COOLEST gadget I have purchased in some time. I had no idea it was so big…..which is actually great, and it is an aromatherapy diffuser on top of it? WIN WIN, holy cow….came as a huge surprise how high of a quality it is! It reminded me of opening my iPhone!” – AMZ Customer
Promising Review: “I bought this pan for my hubby because there can never be enough brownie corner pieces. This pan makes him very happy! It makes me happy because it’s a sturdy, heavy duty pan. Its nonstick surface is amazing–brownies don’t stick at all. One thing to note is that the brownies are a little thinner than they are in my 8×8 pan when we make the Ghiradelli brownie mix. We have not tried to use two mixes instead of one yet. Worth the $!” – L. Hart
Promising Review: “First time Spikeballers and we are addicted!!! Fun for all ages and levels. We’ve played with 5 yrs old to 65 yrs old. Even a pregnant mom. Easy to take apart and pack up. We just ordered the ProBalls and the Glow in the dark Balls. Proballs are a little heavier and easy to control. Glow in the dark so the adults can play once the kids are in bed. GREAT GAME!!” – Falcon Cosby
Promising Review: “I originally saw this on Shark Tank and thought it was a good idea. I have purchased at least 50 different pain relief and massage tools over the years and most don’t do much or you can’t easily hold the item in place to get relief. But this is amazing. Everyone that has tried it, including my niece with Lupus and my massage therapist can’t believe how great it is. It can take pain away in minutes. In love! You will not be disappointed and you do not need to have arm strength to use. Simple instructions.” – PrincessandBuddiesMom
Promising Review: “Great for wiping your bass on the go and for hiking. They make it kind of personal with the sayings though: something like “it’s a way of life”. I’m just trying to effectively shut in the woods not join a club.” – Amazon Customer
Promising Review: “After 5 minutes you can feel the burn!! I am a big guy in the process of shrinking and this exercise is easy to do. I turn on the tv and twist for about 15 min a day. My only complaint is my pants are too big now…” – Ben C.
Promising Review: “Great item. Used it on a camping trip at about 12,000 feet, after a long day of hiking. Worked great in rain (and some hail). Puts out a lot of light and is easy to manage (just put the cover back on) and is easy to light.” – Sara Wilhelm
