I could probably do 100 illustrations based on all the pet peeves I have, but since I don't have the time, here's just one. Haha! As usual, I still can't seem to find the time to crank out a "fresh" illustration for IF, so I dug this one out. When it comes to gifts, I know people say, "It's the thought that counts". But what if it's obvious the person put absolutely NO thought into it?
Now, I'm not talking about an ugly sweater from Aunt Pearl. It may not be your taste, but at least she tried. I'm talking about when the person clearly didn't even think or exert
any effort at all into your gift. What if it's something you can't even use? (For example: getting a DVD for Christmas when the person knows darn well you don't even own a DVD player. Ahem. Thanks?) Poor fishy. She's been a victim of a utterly thoughtless gift. Sometimes I think it might be better to get nothing at all.
