Damn, nothing worse than opening a prezzie and it's not even close to what you

thought it was.

So a package from an Ebay order came in and the seller included a free gift. It was the size of a chocolate bar so I was thinking it was a chocolate bar and I opened it hurriedly and all it was, was a travel pack of kleenex.

Gesundheit my ass!

It was a tight little package of kleenex, but only afterwards did it occur to me that my desire must have been so great that I overlooked the fact that it wasn't heavy enough to be chocolate.

Because she always gives me stuff that is far enough from my personality to be insulting.

But then I realized she wouldn't even bother to send an extra anything in an Ebay box. Not even kleenex. So it can't be her.

You can tell by the packaging that most of them are ordinary people looking for a little extra cash. Ebay really screwed over many of them when they raised their rates.

and I was in a hurry so I grabbed the first thing that looked familiar. The occasion was a reunion and I didn't realize until after the pictures were posted on the school website that the bra had a special lining that "lifted" whatever you had. In some of the photos it looked like I was torpedoing my classmates!
