What Do People Mean When They Say “Don’t Get Me a Gift”

When someone says, “don’t get me a gift,” what do they really mean? 25,000 Americans chimed in and here’s what they said. 46 percent agreed that it means “I don’t want a gift, but I won’t be upset if you get me one”. Others said the meaning is “I do want a gift, but I won’t be angry if I don’t get one.” So, really its a guessing game for about half of us. A small amount of folks think people are saying “I really don’t want a gift, and I’ll be upset if you get me one”.
