Christmas! A cheerful time, right? The spirit, the decorations, the gift giving, the time off, it’s supposed to be happy! Not for these horrible people. Ungrateful punks and out-of-touch teens have all taken to Twitter to complain about what they didn’t get for Christmas and how they now hate life and everything Santa Claus. It’s a shit show.
It’s amazingly embarrassing what these people are saying. Funnyman Jon Hendren’s Twitter account is re-tweeting all the ridiculous complaints about peoples’ Christmas and well, there are a lot of terrible people out there. Most everyone complain about not getting an iPhone or an iPad. Others complain about getting the wrong coloured iPhone or iPad. Some don’t want their iPods or Kindle Fires. Others really thought they were going to get a freaking car with a bow on it. We are helpless. Boo freaking hoo. People, are you reading what you’re saying? How can you stand yourself?
And sure, maybe some of these are people sarcastically complaining. And sure, maybe it’s mostly kids who don’t know anything other than cry cry cry when things don’t go their way but I certainly hope that these people who are publicly whining about not getting an iPhone only get Blackberry-sized coals for the rest of their lives. Or I hope being outed as a horrible human being means they grow up really really fast. [@fart via BuzzFeed, Alexis Ohanian]
Santa and Father Christmas Are Two Separate Chaps, and Coke Didn't Create Either of Them
A Glitch Accidentally Told 300 People They Won the Lottery When They Really Didn't
Everything Apple Didn't Talk About Yesterday
You want an iPad? Get a job you brat.
My Mum got me a 4 pack of beer and a Flake for Christmas lol. You know what though, I wanted some beers and she wanted the Flake so it worked out.
Got myself a windows phone…way better
good call sir!
You’ll notice these bratty little shits all what Apple products. Says something about their customer base.
I think it says more about this generation of teenagers more then it does about Apple customers.
If it was them all bitching about not getting something from any other company. Amazon, Nintendo, Microsoft, LG, Samsung, Sony etc, would you say that it says something about all their companies customers?
And here I was thinking UK Gizmodo could try to shy away from childish fanboy insults like on USA Gizmodo.
Re your 3 Points
1. Maybe
2. Yes
3. We do (note smiley at the end of post – indicates I’m taking the piss not trolling).
You complain about generalising about Apple customers and then generalise about a much larger group. Nicely done.
I think the notion that these are terrible/horrible human beings is a litle alarmist.
They are afterall mostly teenagers. And what makes you so sure they will be any different or better when they grow up. They will learn and make mistakes just like we all did and continue to, we all grow up eventually. It`s justa shame some people feel the need to make these mistakes online for all and sundry to see and ridicule. The age we live in is one where where young people are bombarded with lifestyle advertising and must have ephemera. It`s no surprise to me that these type of things are being tweeted.
Perhaps we need to look to parents to make sure these horrible people grow up in thier own time making the right choices for themselves and thus becoming a better human being.

If it makes them feel any better, I got a 4S for christmas, but by no means did my parents fork out ALL of it. I paid 200 towards, mum and dad another 200 and my nan and grandad 100. So everyone chipped in and I love it!
damn, these kids are asking for £400 phones for christmas? And (some of) these parents actually buy them these things?
In my days, if I wanted something expensive, I’d pay half (if not more) and my parents would provide the rest of the money.
