No boxed gifts please

Wow…apparently mods aren’t even screened for rudimentary reading skills. Otherwise we could have prevented this nonsense:

Do you not even understand the issue that’s being discussed here? I already addressed this in a previous response to one of your rants:

Seriously, work on those reading skills. It might keep you from embarrassing yourself like you are now.

Actually, what’s really funny is that you apparently didn’t bother reading, or simply couldn’t understand, the very next sentence in that post, which points out that Europeans and North Americans would find the whole “no boxed gift” line tacky. If you ever stepped off Devon Ave (since it appears that you only socialize with a handful of South Asian expats and have deluded yourself into believing that they comprise a majority of the US population), you’d realize that Americans believe that any mention of gifts on anything included in the wedding invitation envelope is in poor taste.

Already addressed this too.

Someone picking their nose and farting in public would have said the same thing.

Like I said, if you’ve really deluded yourself into thinking that this is acceptable beahvior, and that most of society agrees with you, then why are you ranting and raving IN BOLD AND ALL CAPS at someone you don’t know, and will likely never meet, who believes otherwise?

1. You need help

2. You are rude, uncouth and presumptuous

3. Aside from your Devon cab drivers, no one else really considers this practice rude. Must I repeat myself?

4. No Boxed Gifts…there I said it. What are you going to do? No go to the wedding? Apparently not! Its not rude at all and YOU do NOT get to make that decision thankfully. Its NOT your call to say whats written on someone’s wedding invite is rude.

5. The alleged Americans that live in your tragic little corner of the world may think so…Im sure you have deluded yourself into thinking you’re right. However, the majority dont. I will let you find this out for yourself…not going through anymore trouble for someone so bitter.

6. Im not the one ranting raving, your posts are seething with resentment and tacky behavior. Which seems typical of you and your social circle so I guess it must be acceptable wherever you are. Perfectly understandable, carry on with it.

7. Regardless of what you want to believe, the fact of the matter is you write checks at these weddings and actually attend them. Why do you write the checks? Because “No Boxed Gifts” is written on the invite. So, you hate the peoples’ invitation, writing the check but you WILL go to show off your new outfit and stuff your face with biryani? Hypocritical behavior. Desies man…never let a gulab jamun go. You say something on an anonymous forum because you dont know anyone here and no one can really call you out on it but in real life dont even have the decency NOT go to the weddings harboring such resentment in your heart? Sounds like a hyporcite to me alright. Cant even have the guts to stand by what they supposedly believe in.

8. There are THOUSANDS of brides’ pictures posted on GS and we POUNCE on people who try to pick flaws in a bride on her big day. GENERALLY speaking, its considered RUDE…and I might even venture so far as to say even in YOUR circle it would be rude to make fun of bride’s wedding outfit/food/cake/decor/flowers/makeup/etc on her wedding. People will come to your wedding and AGAIN…regardless of how you really look are required to nod their head and say “yes, that bitter little woman looks sooooo pretty. aww, did you see how her forehead wrinkles up like that? so…um…um…uh…(long pause) interesting?” Yet here we are, nitpicking about a choice she has every right to make for herself on her wedding. Not your wedding, HER wedding.

You dont like it? Awww…boo hoo for you.

9. Are you married? Have you actually planned a wedding? Or even attended one? It seems like you’ve been living in a box all your life. Try getting out more! Try being social, actually associating with people…AND NO your shrink and/or therapist do not count as socializing. Go on, its okay. OH and smiling also gives the right signals…like you want people to actually associate with you. Okay?

10. I think its safe to say that associating with people like you is a waste of time. You dont know how to have a conversation, it seems like you only know how to be rude. Poor manners show poor breeding and in your case extremely poor breeding. Think about that BEFORE you post next time.

11. Stop being so angry and bitter. Its unattractive.
