Back in the early '80s I had been dating a guy for several months. He gave me jumper cables for Christmas. My car was relatively new & never broke down so I was shocked and disappointed at this strange, unromantic gift.
Flash forward a year later....
Broken up with boyfriend who gave bad gift. Car wouldn't start. Good Samaritan offered to jump start my car 'if I had jumper cables'! With a sheepish smirk on my face, I pulled the dusty things out of my trunk. The guy was shocked I had them!
You just never know when a bad gift might come in handy!
I don't know why people aren't vicious back to asshats that specifically leave you out of things or make you the odd person out.
Call them out! In front of everyone.
Not really a gift but...when my dd was 5 -my mom left my dad. She said she was going next door to visit the neighbors & just left. My dad reported her missing & days later she let us know (thru a friend) that she was living with another guy.
My dad was devastated & we spent 'Xmas with him & the cat he had for 20 years passed away. My sister & dd made a gingerbread house & it fell over & broke. Alot more **** happened then but you get the picture-a truely miserable time was had by one and all.
ohhh damnnn hon
:huggy: How utterly horrid.Not really a gift but...when my dd was 5 -my mom left my dad.<snip>
Wait - my dh has a present under the tree for me. I asked him, "Where are the shoes I bought from Kohl's the other day?" Why, he wrapped them and put them under the tree for me.
DS's "mother" gave him a used wii game system.
No games or controllers
Then mentioned to him that his 1/2 brother is getting $200 in cash.
