Gratefulness doesn't come naturally to these people. Usually, people are taught from the time they're young that when someone gives you a gift, you should be thankful. Even if you don't like the gift, you should thank the person who got it for you. When they're five or under, kids tend to be brutally honest about the gifts they do or don't like, and it can be pretty funny for those around them. But when a teenager throws a fit because her parents bought her the wrong car? That's a whole lot less charming.
These people were absolutely flabbergasted when they went out of their way to give great presents, only for the recipient to act wholly ungrateful. Some people went really far out of their way to give such a present, spending lots of money or going great distances, and still got a negative reaction.
Most people have a pretty low tolerance for this kind of behavior. The OP of this post is a great example of that. They told their own story of what happened when they gave their niece a laptop. u/CarelessMonday sold their own belongings in order to get their niece this nice college present, only for her to call it the "worst present ever." The OP shares that after her freakout, they're not contacting that niece again---and certainly never giving her anything again. Hopefully, the niece learned something from the whole situation.
Next up, the way this barista talked to a customer has the internet divided on whether or not the barista was out of line.
