I got a 2 week late birthday gift that turned out to be a total waste of money.
Does this happen in your country?

That kinda sucks but you should appreciate your dad for even trying, fly it with him and get a few laughs at the chinkshit drone barely hovering and slam it into some power line

You posted this a while ago

>>211937812 (OP)
why do you need a drone?

>>211937812 (OP)
Ahh, the finn of ingratitude, you have been missed

My mom does the same, just buying random shit from chink tiktok shops that is obviously off and low quality when it arrives

>>211937812 (OP)
fuck off

I kind of despise him for it more than if he me got nothing
Ive made the mistake of wishing for a console and been disappointed when i didnt get it when i was young. As a result i always set the bar low for birthday and christmas. This time he got me personally invested into something i didnt ask for and still delivered disappointment
The expression, "its the thought that counts" goes the other way too
>>211938199
I still have the drone

>>211938246
I think it was moms idea. Shes made commemts on how beautiful drone aerial footage can be and how no one has filmed her homevillage

80% of civilian drones are made in China

Sure but think about it bro how many people get absolutely nothing for their birthday. It is what it is, keep in mind he's just some boomer probably clueless about anything modern.

>>211942230
And the ones that arent scams get stored and sold in locally because the business wont get a 90% refund rate
If its shipped all the way from china what are you supposed to do?

>>211937812 (OP)
i have never gotten a bday present

>>211938434
I understand you and agree with you anon. Everyone saying you’re being ungrateful is stupid. Boomers will do this sort of thing only to satisfy their narcissism and convince themselves they are being good parents, only to use it against you when you don’t feign satisfaction with their shitty gift.

It’s ok if they make the mistake of buying a bad gift once, but they should realize their mistake and not do it again. If they’re too clueless they could always just gift you money, but that is actually worth something and they don’t really care.

I still think you should be the “bigger person” and forgive them, but there is no reason to be grateful.

I dont know, hes not exactly ignorant
Hes involved in some local project that got screwed royally when they bought a chinese windmill that had all sorts of quality control issues
He could have asked for the research he told me to do before ordering, he could have atleast check any local electronics retailer, but i get the feeling that he just half-heartedly checked it off the list when he saw a cheap fix
Again, its the thought that counts
A poorfag dad taking someone to the zoo is a better gift than a richfag dad buying a 5000 dollar tennis racket for his son who plays badminton
