🎁THE GIFT:
The “Fakeout Surprise Party" Gift
I gave my introverted (and good-humored) co-worker/friend their dream birthday, but not before I messed with them by getting the entire office to lead them to believe that I was throwing them a huge surprise birthday party filled with people and unwanted praise. I had people making fake phone calls in front of them to party-supply stores inquiring about things like inflatable saxophones and neon gangster fedoras. I even had someone mention a kidnap squad. In the end, I walked them into a conference room that they assumed was filled with a surprise party. Waiting for them in the room was a comfy chair, steak & scotch for one, a tv ready to play their favorite movies, an assurance of solitude, and a designated driver home.
