Secret Santa

“Tim was quite frugal, and when I say quite, I mean he was cheap as heck. Every employee in the company voted the dollar amount they wanted to spend on one another for the secret Santa, which was $50. Tim’s vote was $1 (I recognized his crappy handwriting). Everyone, including Tim, agreed to spend around that dollar amount. But when it came down to opening presents, it was clear everybody went over that $50 amount.”

“Tim received a pair of tickets to a Dodger’s Baseball game plus some Dodgers t-shirts, and a hat- the tickets were face valued at $175 each (his secret Santa had season tickets and gifted him a pair from his set). When it came time for Tim to give his gift, I wondered who he got…he got his desk buddy, Jesse; she was the sweetest girl in the office and worked with everyone. She was the most polite, respectful, soft-spoken human I’ve ever met. When she opened her gift, I wanted to die. He got her lingerie. Not just any lingerie: crotchless, matching bra and without any tags. Jessie was 5’9″ and athletic. Whoever those clothes were for was someone athletically challenged. HR had a hay-day with that one.”
