Maybe I'm an oddball, but due to a couple of "experience" gifts gone awry, I 'm scared off of them.
I got concert tickets for a birthday present, and the day before the concert, it was postponed due to the singer's illness, and eventually canceled.
Another time I got tickets to a baseball game on what turned out to be a rainy night. So I got to fight the traffic, pay for parking, etc, to sit through a rain delay, and eventually postponement of the game.
That's life, things happen, but now I find myself really iffy about giving or getting experiences.
- elijaht 6y agoThat seems awfully short sighted. Sure, I think it is really bad to give/get an experience that you don't want (if someone got me tickets to a concert of a band I dislike, I would feel frustrated/guilty). But it sounds like very reasonable gifts that just didn't pan out. Do you not go to baseball games now because of that experience?
