Your story made me recall a friend in college who wanted a gift for his girlfriend. I convinced him to buy a package of vacuum cleaner belts and tell her they were bracelets. He did it and I never heard the end of it. He actually bought here a nice tennis bracelet, too, but the belts were the gag gift beforehand. She was so ticked off that the real bracelet didn’t help smooth things over. I felt kind of bad, but I thought she had a sense of humor.
I did have a sense of humor, I thought it was pretty funny.....
A man who was my husband for a while thought it was funny to wrap rolls of toilet paper for me for Christmas. He also gave me some coal.
He gave me diamond earrings but sitting there in front of friends, unwrapping package after package of toilet paper was a bit much and should have warned me that he waasnt a keeper.
