Breakup Gifts

Breakup Gifts

When you break up with someone, what should you do with the presents you received from him/her? Put it in a box? Throw it back in their face? Sell it?

Based on my extensive legal background on the subject, including an episode of Judge Judy that I saw once, you are under no legal obligation to return gifts. A gift is a gift, and once received, you (the recipient) own it. The only thing you should do with the presents is whatever you want. However, I would not recommend throwing the gift into his/her face, as that may be considered assault.

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer but I’ve seen one on TV.

  1. Haha, Judge Judy. You’ve got to be kidding me. American Idol > Judge Judy.

    Anyway, is there something wrong with your feed? I haven’t seen posts come through reader since your Socks post. I’m subscribed to http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wysz

    Am I missing something?
