Let the ground swallow me up!

Let the ground swallow me up!

There are certain things we dread on this day and eBay.co.uk have revealed five of the worst scenarios that could happen to make you want to lock the doors and not come out till Sunday morning. 

Receiving a present from an unwanted admirer- The card arrives on your doorstep with and you instantly recognise the handwriting- and you wish you didn’t. There is a message inside that is aimed to be mysterious, yet the meaning is like being hit by an oncoming train. Subtlety is not their greatest attribute. You bury it away, hoping that you can pull off the story of- ‘I never received it’, but then they tell you that they hand posted the card themselves and suddenly its like being back in school trying to make an excuse for not doing your homework…..

Getting a bunch of flowers at work- It’s like being at an awards ceremony- everyone’s eyes are suddenly on you and they are whispering and bitching about your outfit. You try to think of something clever and witty to say but nothing comes out but a noise, one you have never made in your entire existence and they start to laugh at you- suddenly your Carrie at the prom.

Sitting in a couple filled restaurant- You might be single or part of a couple but on a day like today there is pretence in the air. People are fake happy, fake interested, fake fake, fake- we all know that you would rather be at home with a  take away in your pyjamas, near your bed so you can bump uglies sooner- so why the act?!

Not receiving a gift- Unless this is pre-agreed with your partner- this can make you feel a bit left out. Especially when people know you are with someone and ask you that all important question- ‘so what did you get?’, ‘erm- nothing’- all the women in the office gasp while the men think ‘wow her partner’s got balls!’

Receiving a gift or card from a colleague in the office- Flowers from a guy you really don’t like but don’t know how to tell. Chocolates from your boss who has an inappropriate crush, a teddy bear from your colleague who you didn’t know batted for your team. Everyone will see the exchange- everyone will know- every single one of them will mock you until the day you leave about this very moment.
