tacky presents that i love

people give me funny gifts. like the one friend who went to barcelona, saw purple polka dot rubber gloves adorned with a faux flower on the right glove, and thought of me.

what did i do when i saw the rubber gloves? laugh and put them to use! i really like doing the dishes wearing gloves – i think it’s slightly disgusting to use your bare hands. that doesn’t mean that i don’t do the dishes without gloves, i just prefer wearing them to not wearing them.

when i came back from munich one of my skype contacts (a student at work) wrote me that he left something on my desk. i looked all over but didn’t see anything. THEN my colleague told me she had to hide it which made me wonder what in the world he left that needs to be hidden. so i opened the drawer she left my present in and guess what it was???

…

no, really, guess. you know i like rubber gloves so you have an idea of what kind of things i like.

…

guess, for christ’s sake!

ok, no guessing, i get it.

he got me post its. not just any kind of post its because that in itself is lame. the post its had arrows on them and big black print that said “fuck this”, “fuck that”. “this is fucking urgent”, “don’t fuck this up”, and “fuck yeah”.

i was cracking up right there. i laughed so hard the colleague from the office next to us came to stop by and check what’s going on. i think these post its are hilarious, they are super funny, super creative, and so desperately needed! so much shit going on at work that a little f*ing fun is good!

we already had some encounters with fuck-post its and management but so far we always managed to turn it into a good chuckle.

so how can you make franzi laugh? give me a tacky present like rubber gloves and something with an f*-word printed on it. i’m so easy that way. and i’m not even getting started on the boobie cushion i got at a chinese gift exchange lol

and to your enjoyment, here are the post its:

fuck that post its
