Growing up, we all had that moment where we got a birthday gift we didn't want. If you asked for a Transformer, you probably got a Go-Bot. But it was a Go-Bot that fell off the back of a truck and partially melted somehow.
We were told we had to pretend to like it so Grandma's feelings wouldn't get hurt, but not all of us had it in them to give an Oscar-caliber performance.
So if there's anything good about these people's situations, it's that they could keep their reactions 100.
