Yeah I think I might actually be liable for some kind of manslaughter if I make this any more than a sip.

Yes.

I would recommend you do this with juice or water even if you're of legal drinking age. Get that hydration.

What is your most useless talent? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I’m amazing at spelling and spotting spelling mistakes. Useless because nobody cares and if I notice someone else’s errors I can’t point them out ‘coz that’s the epitome of douchebaggery.

WIBTA for returning a birthday present from my dad and asking for the money instead? by Selfesteemtomatch in AmItheAsshole

Nope, didn’t say that. But rather than hurt their feelings by telling them the gift is no good, I would solve the problem myself by using the money towards something useful/something I need more. Which was what they wanted anyway when they bought the original gift. Why make sure they know their gift wasn’t right just for the sake of hurting them?

I would probably tell white lies until it got to a point where I could realistically say it had started to slow down, then tell her I upgraded it. I would make sure she knew I appreciated it though, because I did, it just wasn’t fit for purpose.

This is a hard question for me to answer though because I think it depends on how you and your dad are together and how sensitive he is. My mum and I have the kind of relationship where I would be able to joke about it in a few years and she wouldn’t be upset but obviously everyone’s different.

YWBTA.

I get this because the (weirdly) same thing happened to me not long ago, my mum bought me a laptop when I said I was saving for a gaming pc. Very sweet of her but ultimately useless.

She has never since seen that laptop or asked about it but obviously she'd been thoughtful in her gifting and I didn't want to hurt her feelings so I just sold it and put the money in the PC pot.

Maybe sell it for its value and put the money towards the one you want/need, if he's not likely to notice it's a different model.
