Giving gifts to our near and dear ones is an age-old tradition that is practiced around the world. It is a way of showing appreciation, love, and affection towards the recipient. However, choosing the perfect gift can often be a challenging task, especially when we are unsure about the preferences of the person we are gifting. In some cases, we may think that a particular present would be helpful to the recipient, but they may not share the same opinion. This can lead to some funny and unexpected outcomes.
Recently, a Twitter user shared a comical incident involving a gift that he gave to his mother. The gift in question was a digital weighing scale, which he believed would be useful for his mother to track her portion sizes and meals. However, to his surprise, his mother found a completely different use for it, one that was hilarious and unexpected. This incident struck a chord with many Indian Twitter users, who could relate to similar situations in their own households.
Abhishek Bansal, who goes by the handle, @swaaha_. Wrote, “Before WFH ended, I bought my mom a small digital weighing scale for measuring portions to track calories accurately.” And added ” However, Bansal’s mother found another creative and hilarious alternate use for the weighing scale. “6 months later I visit home and find out that she’s been using it to re-weigh the veggies she buys and create a ruckus if it’s even 10 gm less,”
The story of the digital weighing scale is a perfect example of how gifting can be a tricky business. While the intention behind the gift may be good, the recipient’s perception of it can vary greatly. This highlights the importance of understanding the likes and dislikes of the person we are gifting, so that we can choose a present that is well-received and appreciated.
The incident shared by the Twitter user serves as a reminder that gifting should be a thoughtful and considerate process. It is not just about giving a physical item, but also about showing that we care about the person and their preferences. By taking the time to choose the right gift, we can make the recipient feel loved and appreciated, and avoid any comical mishaps along the way.
