I got a 2 week late birthday gift that turned out to be a total waste of money.

They are just fucking retarded with money. Still, it's your fault for not getting involved sooner.

boomers always think that by buying cheap theyre getting a great deal. For whatever reason the prospect that theyre actually just buying trash that will break in a few weeks never occurs to them

Wow, you have a dad? And he buys you presents?
Unreal.
Sucks about your late present that you got for free from a parent that loves you or whatever though, sorry you flew it into a tree.

Nah, its a no-win situation
If you ask for something you get disappointment
I thought about asking for a budget to speed up my drone-research, but then i remembered all the times ive seen him boomer-brain up an imaginary price of what an item hes never seen before should be

Turns out it was my moms idea as she wanted drone footage of her home village. Makes sense as to why he half-assed it so hard

I don't get it why not just gift money for birthdays, like you're not a child. I didn't even get shit for my birthday after 16 or so

So not only do you have a dad, but you have a dad who cares enough to get you a birthday gift? OP you are an ungrateful little bitch. I don't even have a dad.

this is why whenever anyone plans on giving me a gift for X event, i just ask for any amount of money that seems reasonable to them and ill get what i want with it
nothing pisses a hobbyist off more than just assuming what theyd want and ending up buying trash because you know nothing about the hobby
