anti wrinkle cream

My sister told me that was what my mother wanted for Christmas this year so I bought her some.

I really hope my sister wasn't taking the piss.

I bought the wife a Dyson way back. It's still a topic of conversation 7 yrs later. Great bloody hoover, and touching that she remembers the gesture.

Nothing like a bit of suction on Christmas day

I gave my sister back the present she bought me last year the same time as she gave it to me.

She found it quite insulting!

I had told her for months i didnt want anything so just returned it, She was not very happy!

Same will prob happen again this year

I don't buy that story! First of all the pup would have been in agony which the owners would surely have acted on, and secondly a gangrenous limb would have stank to the high heavens, so even if they ignored the puppy in agony, the smell would have driven them to the vets.

You would be surprised at how much a very tight, thick bandage would hide the odour, and how much animals can hide the exact level of their pain. Obviously the puppy was in discomfort, but as far as I remember, the owners were inexperienced and assumed that it was due to the initial injury.
I got the story from a colleague of the vet nurse and I know the vets involved so I don't doubt the story.

Mother in law always gets me socks, find it so f*cking annoying - and I know they are practical, but just don't ****ing bother!!! - I'll buy my own socks

wrapped and all ... have to be nice and say "Thanks very much etc.." ...

I'm pretty sure I've posted this before, but my sister's mother in law gave her a DVD called "lose the fat for life". When she got divorced a few years later she got great pleasure from telling the mother in law she has lost 13 stone of uselessness!

If there was a passive-aggressiveness Oscar, this would wipe the floor with the competition!

Friend of mine's hubby got her a new wheelie bin for Christmas one year ... "well, you said you needed a new one!

I hope he wrapped it.

Or at least put a bow on it.

>Clothes that are too big.
> Hygiene products.
> Skin products for acne. (now, I have acne, I have had it since I was 11, but It's because of a hormone imbalance which I can't control, which shelve products are not going to do anything for!!).

Just go to the Bargain Alerts forum, find the link for free sample of incontinence Pants, and send to all your friends.

I've had a ZZ Top beard for nearly quarter of a century...

The amount of times I've received aftershave as a present...WTF??

How does one even accept something like that with grace and style? Even with my over active imagination I can see no move forward for either the giver or the receiver there.

I did the exact same, bloody good hoover.

On my birthday that following year she gave me a wrapped up present, I ripped into it, and it was a large cactus in a pot. Some blood, lots of swearing, as I pulled the thorns out.

She still says the 2 are unrelated......

You're married to a passive-aggressive genius.

I haven't got my brother a present yet. He likes tea, so I think he'd appreciate this nice mug...

My mother would never forgive me if I gave anyone that!

I bought three of these for my dad and brothers a while ago. They're big TWD fans.

My older sister is security obsessed.....while I don't care. She gave me a smoke alarm detector the Christmas I moved into my first home....

"What's so offensive about 'UNT'?"

My brother would see the funny side, but pretty much everyone else in my family would be appalled. It would be a real Christmas atmosphere killer.

One of my 1st jobs after university was working on a commodities trading desk. I was managed by a boorish oaf of a man.

For Christmas one year he bought each of his team a bottle of Arrogant Frog wine. A cheap bottle of nasty French wine with a picture of a frog quaffing the wine on its label.

It went straight into the bin. I wouldn't even donate it to charity.

Nono Toure · 22-12-2015 06:16PM

A bottle of perfume. I'm a man!!

In Vietnam, a puppy isn't just for Christmas......it's for starters..:eek:

I got a really ugly washbag one year. Wouldn't have been so bad except the sticky lump of glue from where it was attached to something it came free with was still on the plastic.....
