What to do with a bad housewarming gift?

[1stTimeCaller]

My best friend bough me a recliner for my new house. While that's a very nice gesture I just I don't like the recliner. It's a greenish color. My living room is painted like JK's kitchen, dark red walls and white trim. It's also too small for me.

Do I return it? Do I just suck it up and make it work? Could I put it in another room other than the living room?

I was planning on just getting a couch and a loveseat for my living room. Heck, if I wanted to put a recliner in there I would have moved my leather Lazy-Boy from my trailer to my house.

put it in the extra bedroom

Slap them in the face.

Nobody gives a recliner without asking first.

isn't it weird to buy someone a large piece of furniture without checking to see if they need/want one?

I covered that part in my previous post.

Would you have a different question for me?

[soonerbrat]

yes, that is weird. and since it's your best friend, i think you should be able to tell said friend that you'd rather have something else.

Whats worse. a bad housewarming gift or griping about a free gift that someone gave to you out of the kindness of their heart?

Put it in another room.

Use it as a sex chair in your yellow bedroom.

[soonerboomer93]

maybe he bought it to make sure he always had a chair to sit in at your place?

[OUAndy1807]

put it on the porch.

also, I'm telling.

[StoopTroup]

Tell him you saw cockroaches crawling out of it and that you think it should go back to the store it was bought from.

Give it to SoonerTerry for a welcome to OKC gift

Buy a slipcover for it that matches your decor.

[crawfish]

Straight single guys don't care if the furniture doesn't match the decor.

I'm just sayin'...

[I_SMELL_FEAR]

repaint the room.

[1stTimeCaller]

It's too danged small to be comfortable for me. It's going in one of the bedrooms.

[SleestakSooner]

Give it a starring role in the next Jackass movie... YWIA :)

[ChickSoonerFan]

a recliner? as a gift? I bet he just wanted to get rid of it and wanted to save on having to buy a gift. Was it used? Did it have tags on it?

That is one of the strangest gifts I have ever heard of.

You have strange friends.....which makes perfect sense.

[Hatfield]

pay attention I will go slow....

your best friend....

got you an ugly small recliner....

on purpose....

to make you feel as uncomfortable as possible in your current situation...
