Q: A new survey says that moms are twice as likely to do this than dads at Christmas?

A: Give bad gifts

According to a new survey, 73% of us regularly FAKE our reaction to bad presents.  Only one out of 10 people will actually admit they don’t like a gift.

Here are some more results from the survey that will make you question every present you’ve ever given . . .

  1. The average person figures out whether they like a gift or not within five seconds.
  1. Moms are twice as likely to give bad presents compared to dads . . . but the overwhelming pick for the WORST gift giver is your significant other.
  1. 20% have gotten into an argument with their partner over a bad present . . . and 11% of people have almost broken up over it.
  1. Three out of 10 people hide their disappointment with a bad gift by hugging the person who gave it to them long enough to avoid any awkwardness.
  1. And only 37% of people have been able to tell that someone was disappointed with a present they gave them.
