That's why it would not be an appropriate gift. Everything has subtext in Europe. If you give a coworker handsoap, you're accusing them of having hygiene issues.

Ppl here would definitely make fun of you if you were given hand soap. Means that you don't wash your hands after peeing.

I think that it was handsoap is still lost on you.

No, that would still have tremendous subtext in Europe if given by a coworker. Even more so if it was just handsoap and not a gift bag. It would be the equivalent of someone saying your hands are dirty, really. The US might be different, I don't know. But that's how it would be perceived here.

Exactly.

Do you even have running water there?

You guys and your indirect communication.

It can be very annoying at times.

Exactly.

Nonsense. If someone gave you deoderant or a bar of bath soap then yes that is hygiene related and insulting.

A fancy artisanal handsoap is not a comment on your hygiene. It isnt practical, it isnt the soap i would buy for my bathroom or kitchen. its simply a bad gift probably someone else gave to her she didnt want and lazily regifted.

Would you like my artisanal soap? Its frosted cranberry scented so it could help get the smell of that transgenders boypucci off your fingers.

In the US that might be the case, yes, you would know better than me, because you are an American.

If you're given handsoap by a coworker in Europe though, that is them saying you need to wash your hands.

Thats stupid. If youre going to go that far into it is it possibly to give anything as a gift in belgium without potential sinister undertones?

If someone gives you a football for christmas does that imply they think you are fat and need to excercise more?

Shopping for gifts can be bothersome, yes, but context really matters. For example a gift bag with soap, deodorant and shower gel from some fancy brand would be considered a decent gift. Everyone needs that stuff. You could even give that to a coworker. But just handsoap? No, that would be considered a hint.

A football no, a gym membership, yes.

Swag .


Why are you so twisted? Why give a handsoap have to have a subliminal message? It's simply a cheap gift.

 

[X Æ A-12]

Whatever. I am imagining an episode of Seinfeld where a coworker regifts George a bottle of handsoap and he freaks out because he thinks it has all these undertones about his hygiene when really that coworker was just being cheap.

I think it depends on the country you're in. I'm sure that in the US it means nothing. In Belgium it would be very very weird to receive handsoap from a coworker. Come to think of it though, pretty much every gift I've ever received or given to a coworker was a bottle of wine, beer or liquor. That's pretty much the go to gift you get here.

I'm gonna settle this matter once and for all. I'm going to give 3 coworkers hand soap as Christmas gifts, and document all their reactions, pray for me. I may not make it to next year.
