We have a contender for “worst way to break up”.
- "Look, I still like you and wish you the best, so I want to help you maximize your chances to move on. This really helps both of us."
  Yeah, I can see it.
  
  Depends on how you paint it I guess.
- Dear baby, welcome to dumpsville. Population:you
  
  Aaaaand we have a winner!
Receiving one of these as a gift must be one of the saddest experiences known to man...

I'd rather just get the generic men's gift starter pack of Lynx/Axe deodorant, socks, and a DVD of [insert movie that was popular a few months ago]
- DVD, not even Blu-ray? Damn
- Depends. It can be a good joke gift in your early twenties between men, but on any other occasions it can get pretty depressing.
- I don't know which is sadder to receive, this gift card or a gym membership.
  
  Some people actually enjoy fitness so i am sure they could appreciate it.
  
  I am not one of them, they are alien to me but they do exist.
- wdym those latter gifts are rad as hell
  
  High-quality socks are a great gift, but these socks usually aren't that
This is almost as bad as my grandmother giving us self help books for birthdays/ christmas. My sister and I got several how to lose weight books and she has eating disorders. I'm just fat.
I don't get the point of this post
- I think it's supposed to be dystopian that you can buy gift cards for Tinder but I dunno, if you know someone is using Tinder then it might be an useful gift. Especially since it's premium or what's it called is that expensive.
  
  Plus there's the whole economy of people who don't have access to credit cards, but can buy gift cards in person, or trade for them.
  
  "my standards are too high to fuck you myself as a gift, so much so that I decided to purchase you a gift card, with my own money, so that someone else can reject you instead."
  
  "oh, thanks"
- Dystopia is when gift cards
The hell does the Snapchat gift card give you? I've never used Snapchat I thought it was free.
- Snapchat premium or whatever it's called. It allows you to change the background, delete messages, more tapbacks and other messaging features. Remove the stupid AI. Maybe removes ads from stories?
Pay for women to reject me? Why would I do that again?
Hurts more when Mum gives you one every birthday.
Ah yes, the "Get Fucked" gift card.
$40 for, one month?! Jesus...
Gift cards have always been there.
