Some people have a knack for giving the worst gifts.

For instance, when I turned 10, I received a fairly standard dictionary for my birthday. The following year, I received a pencil holder. Let's just say that one of my parents certainly falls into this category of individuals. As you grow older, you come to learn that this is not a big deal. Gift-giving is simply not everyone's love language. However, what's even worse than being a horrible gift-giver is trying to hide the fact that you're a horrible gift-giver.

Here, we have a cheap sister-in-law who became known among some family members for always getting something at the last minute. Her brother-in-law discovered that she started swapping tags with someone who would not be present for the official opening of gifts so that it always looked like her gift was better than it was. After she did this a couple of times, it became crystal clear that this lady needed to be stopped.
