I participated in a survey today for my educational psychology course to get some extra credit.

Some of you might know that I don’t use Facebook anymore, and the only reason I sign on is if I have a specific purpose; I don’t use it for general socialization at all anymore.

Funny part about the survey?

The whole thing was about the activities we do on Facebook.

Topic #88: What is the best gift you’ve ever received? What is the worst gift you’ve ever received?

I don’t really think about gifts as good or bad, but if I were to rate them, I would consider the best gift money and the worst gift clothing.

Even if I didn’t receive as much net worth of money than other gifts, I would still prefer money because I can do what I want to do with it. If I need to use it for living expenses, I can add it to my bank account and use it to pay bills or buy necessities. If I want to buy myself a gift, I can pick something that I specifically want. Now that Internet shopping is so prevalent, I don’t even have to be concerned about wasting gas to find something I like, because I can just sit in my room and find things I need or want to buy on the computer.

Of course, if someone bought something for me that I didn’t want, I could still return it to get cash in return. However, then I would have to request a gift receipt if I didn’t already get one, find the store from which the gift was purchased, drive there, and return the gift to get the money. I would much rather receive a less valuable gift than have to go through all that work to get money.

The reason I specifically dislike clothing is because nobody ever seems to buy normal clothing for me. I always get excessively fancy clothing or clothes that are unbearably uncomfortable. I’m generally not even short of clothing anyway, seeing as I already have lots of shirts, and I occasionally get free shirts as promotional material.
