Preface:
So every family or circle of friends has got one. An absolute bum that hasn't worked in years. Who's unemployment has run out, and they replaced that source of income by latching onto and/or marrying someone to carry them. They spend each week basically laying on the couch, and Facebooking about how depressed they are -- and how they didn't sign up for this sad, sad life. They're in their mid 30's and life has just passed them by. Meanwhile they haven't made any attempt to better themself, haven't even tried to go to college or learn a trade, and just expects the world to be handed to them on a silver platter. Entitlement anyone?
Question:
If you were obligated to get this person a gift, what gift would it be? I see myself giving them a book on how to get a job, or how to write a resume -- which I know will come across pretty backhanded, but sheesh... Wake up and smell the coffee already! haha Your thoughts?
