    my wife had the cd/radio in my car replaced with a "nicer" one. Only problem, the buttons on it are so small, it's almost unusable. Luckily it came with a remote control which has larger buttons. And yes, I use a remote control in my car to change radio stations.......And I've never figured out how to set the clock on it. I've searched the manual and their website and there are no directions anywhere and none of the obvious stuff works for changing the time settings.

    The VAST majority of people should never, I repeat NEVER, purchase anything remotely to do with a car without a professionals help.

    I got my ex a vacuum cleaner and a note that said "This is so you know your place."

    And I had to leave HER. Go figure.

    so funny!!

    My mother in law got me a clock for Christmas two years ago. Not just any clock, a motion sensor clock with a different breed of cat for each hour, and best of all it has a different cat meow sound for each hour......I am not a cat fan.

    I have a rule, no domestic items as presents... ever! It is a time to be indulgent, and to give a household item as a gift takes the fun out of the occasion imo.

    My nanna is (was) the worst offender for gift giving. She gave my mother a round table cloth (we had a rectangular table) and it still had the op-shop 50c price tag on it. Classy!

    The 'best' one I think I had was from my own dad though, on my 18th birthday I had a card in the mail (late) with a paperweight and a $2 scratchie card inside - AWESOME! :laugh:

    I'm always making sexist jokes to my g/f, mostly because she's a Tomboy(its nothing I do regularly or that I'm proud of) and we have a fun relationship. I got a sandwich for Valentines day once. That was the end of my sexist jokes...

    I've had my eye on a vacuum at Target for a while now, so I wouldn't mind that as a gift! haha. Or a new microwave, we need a new one! I would have never thought I'd get excited over appliances a few years ago, lol.



    This made me giggle :) When my Fiance got a new job I was like DOES THIS MEAN WE CAN GET A TUMBLE DRYER!!! dancing around all excited and he just laughed at me, saying that before the baby it was only ever shoes I got that excited about! RUDE!

    :)

    I think the lesson here is: if you have expectations about gifts, COMMUNICATE THEM. I'd much rather someone tell me what they want than have them complain on public forums because I failed to read their mind. :frown:

    The worst ever were some yard flowers he put in a tea pitcher with a Flicka DVD (was actually for my son). He is awful with gifts. He has now stepped up his game to grocery store bought flowers at the last minute that come in an actual vase and maybe a cheap strawberry covered in choc. which I don't eat. Oh men, are so clueless haha!

    My gift for him this year - put all of his faves in a bag for him this year - 24 pack of cold beer, 3 cans of dip (nasty but his fave), 2 cans of peanuts, snickers, M&Ms and an xbox 360 racing game - Strange but he loves it all!!

    I think what was unwanted was the insinuation that she was hairy.

    Then again, I am a man, and don't pretend to know what I am talking about regarding women.

    My ex was terrible at gifts... he once gave me a card that he didn't even sign :(

    But I got rid of him and have since had many lovely gifts from other not so inconsiderate people :D

    The hair trimmer might top mine, but the rest of you got nothing.

    I once got a signed copy of Bill O'Reilly's latest book for Valentine's Day. Well, not actually FOR Valentine's Day. It was four days late.
