Is this rude?

If you can, give them that very ornament. Don't they know you're a janitor? If the ornament was intact and everything, it was rude of them to throw it out.

well i would definitely rub it in their faces. They will get very ashamed and it would be very uncomfortable for them. What they did was rude. Why would you waste your money on something they'll throw away later anyway?

heck no you shouldn't give them another Christmas present. you should as the first person suggested, give them the exact same ornament again, maybe with a little piece of trash hanging off it, and watch the reaction on their face. have your camera ready.....it should be priceless.

virgie that was so unkind of the person that you gavetthe gift to, no dont give her a thing, she does not deserve it at all or give her a gift from home that will be a second time around sort of gift.Something that has been given you by her perhaps.

It was certainly rude of the person to throw the gift away somewhere where you would see it. They have no kindness for human feelings. I would not give them a thing for Christmas from here on end. A Christmas ornament can be used, if they did not like it, it would have been better for them to regift it and give it to someone else instead of throwing away your hard earned money. Doesn't matter that it was inexpensive, it was the thought that counted when you gave it to them.

wow, that must feel bad. i feel for you. hmmm...if i were you, i'd get the present you gave her. then display it somewhere near her/his sight. just to get the point across. and another gift for this coming yuletide...uhhh...not really...you don't need to. if you give another gift, that is just swallowing your pride. and the person might think that you dont mind if your gift gets into the trash... save your ego. =)

it was very ugly of them. i would give it back to them & tell them where u found it & i was sure they didn't mean to just throw it away. i wouldn't wait till christmas to do it & i certainly wouldn't waste my monry on them again.very tacky!!!!!!!!!!

That would definitely hurt me to say the least. It kind of shows that the person felt nothing sentimental toward the gift you gave them. I am not sure how close you were to this person, however it is a hurtful act. It is usually the thought that counts and the Christmas ornament really sounded like something special to give to somebody. Your heart was in the right place. Try not to beat yourself up over this. It is not your fault at all. I would say that you should do as you feel. Give this person another gift this year. You can be the better person by being mature over this.
