It can be low effort, passive-aggressive, insulting or derogatory towards your convictions.

    My sister gifted me the third book of a fantasy trilogy series once.
    I never read or got the first two books.

    Also, when I was little, my grandma (who hated me with passion) bought me a pink bike just to piss me off, because she thought a boy wouldn’t ever like that color. I rode that bike until I was too tall to use it and every time she saw me enjoying that thing she was furious. :)

      The propensity for you and your grandma to both act out of spite for one another is impressively high. Its good to have proof you’re related

            Dude, I was a child. I didn’t even have the mental capacity to spite my own grandma. I saw a cool bike, didn’t mind the color and rode it, that’s it.

            Psychoanalyzing people on the internet is stupid.

      Why did she hate you with such passion ?

      And why didnt she think about spray paint ?

        She always called me “the bastard” because I had a different father than my sisters.
        That was enough of a reason to hate me, I guess. 🤷

        It was definitely intentional of her to gift me a “girls” bike and she didn’t expect me to actually like it.
        She also pulled stunts like gifting me and my sisters money on Christmas, but I got 10€ and they got 50€ each. My mum always equally split the whole money afterwards.

        For their sake i hope it wasn’t, Ender’s Game is possibly the greatest example of deservedly famous book 1 and equally deservedly forgotten rest of the series.
