“Before I realized it was THE Bill, just thought it was a friendly fellow named Bill.”
"Bill holding my sign! AHH!"
A Reddit user named Rachel was shocked this week when she found out that the "Bill" who was assigned to her in the website's annual Secret Santa gift exchange was actually a billionaire.
Bill Gates gifted her a stuffed cow along with a donation to the non-profit Heifer International and the travel book Journeys of a Lifetime. Plus there was a photo of him in front of a Christmas tree with the book, cow, and note.
"I thought Bill sounded like a friendly fellow," Rachel said. "In fact, I had this whole image of this poor guy named Bill trying to navigate my wishlist full of makeup, nailpolish, glittery things to buy me. Quite frankly I felt bad for this 'Bill'…"
"The first thing I noticed was a stuffed animal. I didn't know I gave off the stuffed animal vibe, but I excitedly added him to my collection of teddy bears and other delightful friendly creatures. Next, I found the card. To me, from Bill. This still had not clicked, by the way, that it was Bill Gates."
"Before I realized it was THE Bill, just thought it was a friendly fellow named Bill."
"To me, From Bill," she wrote. "I opened this and it's a man holding a sign. Oh.... wait. holy shit. time out. and then it finally hit me. All the presents I just tore open, the charity, then everything-- was from Bill GATES."
