[quote=Anonymous]It was a nice thought, OP. But him putting up the office sign is him recognizing the joke the office made about him, which is good-humored and fun. It’s a light-hearted and spontaneous thing. Him putting up your related trinket is sort of like him calling himself that joke, which is dorky. And the fact that his spouse bought it for him just makes it more awkward, labored (instead of spontaneous), and corny. You’re also inserting yourself into something that doesn’t involve you in the least, and you’re now feeling embarrassed because I think you’re recognizing that. You have to let it go. Some gifts land perfectly and some are just a miss. And the fact that he took a picture of it on his desk for you shows he was trying not to hurt your feelings. If he has a home office, maybe he can display your trinket on his desk at home. But just chalk it up to a good intention that was a bit of a flop and let it go![/quote]
