Just buy whats on my *&^$@ list!

[jinjuku]

So opening christmas presents yesterday and my in laws bought me the SACDs I had on my amazon wish list...almost.
Mother in law actually PRINTED the amazon list and took it to walmart and bought 4 of the discs, as CDs.
To top this off then my mother and father in law then chastise me for not being willing to shop at walmart since they were able to get the discs for half of what I was going to pay from amazon.
This isn't the first time she's done this. We've ended up with duplicate items because she refuses to just press the fricking buy button next to the item. It's not like she can't use a computer. She buys stuff from ebay all the time.
Of course if I try and explain the differences then I'm the ungrateful bad guy who ruined christmas!

Yes I should just be thankful and all that, but what the hell this is the steam vent not the "lets be grateful for crap you don't really want" thread.

Could you ask for $$ or Amazon Gift certs?

Sure, but he'd probably get Walmart gift cards, instead.

 

[itschris]

Yeah, but it likely wasn't the first place that it went. You see the grin on that guy?

It because he didn't tell us about the anal bleaching kit he got.

Actually this nose hair trimmer thing is not at that bad. I have 2... one at my office, and one at home. It's the not so much the nose hair.. it's the ear hair. Once I turned 40 this year, my ears started sprouting as much hair as my back. It's pathetic. I'm like an f-ing gorilla.

 

[Adam]

Sweet. If we're going to talk about excess hair, let me go grab my camera.

I can't quite tell if we've already hit the slippery slope on this becoming the "TMI" thread.

 

[Davemcc]

Who the heck cuts your hair?

 

[just-some-guy]

Lol thread

fact is, some people could care less about getting something that is "wanted".
they just buy something, and let the giftie deal with it.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday, but I didn't want him to get all twitchy again about mentioning his hair dresser. I just figured that he found another use for that stainless steel bowl that he bought.

Hey, his girl likes it - that's all that matters, right? Well, that and the endless joy that we'll get from the ridicule.

At least he has a girl...ouch!

Not my mother when she's mad at my father ... Dave.

EDIT: ...and Adam too for that matter.

 

[itschris]

... can I just say that Chunky Dark might very well be the coolest username on the planet... just sayin

Can I change mine to Chunky White? How bout just Chunky?

 

[GO-NAD!]

Who the heck cuts your hair?

Baw Haw Haw!!! You slay me!!

 

[GO-NAD!]

...his hair dresser.

Do you have a hairdresser? I have a barber....

 

[Alex2507]

Thanks, Dave. Even the Cape Brentonner is laughing at me now.

 

[Adam]

Do you have a hairdresser? I have a barber....

That's what Alex called the person.

I cut my own hair.

 

[Davemcc]

Thanks, Dave. Even the Cape Brentonner is laughing at me now.

That should tell you something...

 

[Alex2507]

That should tell you something...

Yeah ... Canadians are mean !!! Fear not though, the sun will one day shine on your land again and not just in that irritating snow blindness way.

But for now, just keep boffing with your socks on.
... oh, I know.

LOL that's sad. I don't even care what I get for Christmas. I've started asking for experiences rather than gifts from my wife. She's great at finding something to take me too. But not so much at the getting something I like.

 

[Adam]

I've started asking for experiences rather than gifts from my wife.

I'm guessing that a lot of guys do that.

"Come on, baby. It's Christmas..."

It works for any holiday. Come on, baby it's veteran's day. I'm a veteran at this now so lets celebrate. Though I will say that I think around here most of us would get off more on a pair of Wmax speakers. I mean where else do you find the phrase she's got a nice pair used to mean something else.

Wouldn't be the first time that I was in the minority...
