"Is there any way I can return this gift or exchange for one of equal or lesser value?"

Finding the perfect gift for someone can be difficult. There's a lot to consider—the person's likes, dislikes, how well you know the person, and so on.


But it seems fair to assume that giving someone an unsolicited gift would make many people question the phrase "it's the thought that counts."

Why did he frame it #justgirlythings

In a recent TikTok that's going viral, TikToker @liftymcthicc, also known in the real world by her name Mackenzie, revealed to viewers that an individual at her gym thought it would be endearing to give her framed photos of herself as a present.

While many pictures are worth a thousand words this one was just worth one—"No."

The five-second TikTok now has close to three million views, 343,000 likes, and 2,900 comments.

Many of the comments urge Mackenzie to notify the authorities of the unseemly, unwanted behavior of her fellow gym patron.

Text overlaid in the TikTok reads "When the creepy guy at the gym says he has a gift for you."

In the video, viewers can see Mackenzie holding up several photos that feature her whole face or a close up of her eyes.

Viewers can also hear Mackenzie asking "How many people were scared?" followed by her admitting that she was "really really scared." The caption of the TikTok reads, "Why did he frame it?"

In an Instagram post regarding the incident, Mackenzie wrote: "Turns out I’m the second girl this has happened to. LOL
I almost didn’t tell anyone at my gym cause as soon as this happened I wanted to cry and leave 👍🏼😀 but I’m glad I spoke up, we can’t let things like this be seen as normal or okay."

Needing to know how the story unfolded, TikTokers urged Mackenzie to post a follow-up video.

Reply to @imolyvia this happened over two weeks ago (btw) I just made a post venting about the whole situation on Instagram if you’d like to hear more

In the follow-up video, Mackenzie reveals that getting the gym to cancel the man's membership was not as easy as expected, claiming that when she notified her gym of the harassment, they informed her that they were not able to “cancel his membership,” but that they did place a “warning on his account.”

Mackenzie goes on to add that the man's son apparently called and asked the gym to cancel the father's membership, citing that the father had the photo of Mackenzie on his bedside table.

“His membership was not canceled until this man’s own son called the gym and said 'You need to cancel my dad’s membership,'” she said.

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

MAGA Politicians Called Out After Falling For AI-Generated Photo Of U.S. Airmen Rescue In Iran

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
