Sometimes showing appreciation can be uncomfortable, especially when it’s done in grand gestures. One man’s wife loves to show her appreciation to workers she feels are underappreciated or unrecognized by giving them gifts, usually baked goods. While this is a nice gesture, her husband feels embarrassed by it, especially when it’s done in front of their children. He recently confronted her about it but she ignored his feelings. He even reached out to friends and family to gauge if he was being unreasonable. Most agreed that while the gesture was nice, it was too extreme and made everyone uncomfortable.
