It can be low effort, passive-aggressive, insulting or derogatory towards your convictions.

My sister gifted me the third book of a fantasy trilogy series once.
I never read or got the first two books.

Also, when I was little, my grandma (who hated me with passion) bought me a pink bike just to piss me off, because she thought a boy wouldn't ever like that color. I rode that bike until I was too tall to use it and every time she saw me enjoying that thing she was furious. :)

    The propensity for you and your grandma to both act out of spite for one another is impressively high. Its good to have proof you're related

    Oh, you're mistaken. I enjoyed that bike because it was a good bike. It just wasn't "boy-colored", but I didn't mind.

    Gendered colours are stupid anyway.

    Yeah, but surely you knew how she'd react if you rode it in front of her

    Dude, I was a child. I didn't even have the mental capacity to spite my own grandma. I saw a cool bike, didn't mind the color and rode it, that's it.

    Psychoanalyzing people on the internet is stupid.

    Why did she hate you with such passion ?

    And why didnt she think about spray paint ?

    She always called me "the bastard" because I had a different father than my sisters.
    That was enough of a reason to hate me, I guess. ๐Ÿคท

    It was definitely intentional of her to gift me a "girls" bike and she didn't expect me to actually like it.
    She also pulled stunts like gifting me and my sisters money on Christmas, but I got 10โ‚ฌ and they got 50โ‚ฌ each. My mum always equally split the whole money afterwards.
