My man loves the ellipsis.
My step MIL buys me medium outlet polos for nearly every gift occasion. They immediately go in the rescue mission donation bag. I haven't been a medium since my freshman year in HS.
Sweet, that she buys me anything, but they also own a hardware store and could literally grab any tool of the shelf and I would be appreciative.

A chintzy cigar cutter from a buddy. I was in his wedding purely as the 5th person so he could get a free tux. The other 4 were shoe ins...I'm a friend but not be in the wedding type friend. I invited him to mine that happened 3 months later but he didn't make it.
Cigars weren't something we ever enjoyed together. In fact, it was the first one I had ever had.

"A pair of socks and a piece of cock and both 2 sizes too big". Used to be a common answer when you'd ask a man what he had gotten for Christmas or his birthday. Cock use to have a very different definition...men from that era would also answer "what do you want for lunch/break?" with "Whiskey, cock and 4 o'clock"....I am assuming it meant something different then...could be that they were all gay.
I was quoting the movie The Ref with Denis Leary. Very underrated Christmas movie. I don't know why you're riffing on cock and balls.

My nephew gave me a gift card with nothing on it.
Sounds like something my nephew would do, as well.

I open my present, and it is another sander, but this is worse because inside of the box is the wrapping paper and card from the previous year.

How would you feel about a sander?

A word of advice for any man who has not been in a relationship before...NEVER buy ANYTHING which can be worn for a woman unless you know for a certainty that is sized correctly and will be viewed as flattering by her....you are playing with fire and you will be burned.

Many times, but probably the worst was when I was 10 and got this:

A girl I had been dating for 6 months gave me for my birthday a novel/book equivalent of a chick flick. She clearly didn't learn much about me in those 6 months.

Not received but given.
We bought my dad a cur puppy from a lady in Lafayette. I was living in New Orleans at the time, had to setup an whole plan to get the dog and supplies on the way to Lake Charles to surprise him with the dog. Everything worked out until the puppy wouldn't eat anything the next day. Ended up having Parvo. We tried to save it with fluids, but had to put it down 2 days later.

I managed an obsolete industrial site for two years with the objective of total closure and minimum continuing expense. Took the staffing from 200pax to 20 and as my going away present, they awarded me a machete.

When we started dating my wife would buy me Saints & LSU gear for every gift giving occasion. After about 5 years, over half of my T-shirts were Saints or LSU gear.
When my dad dresses up, he likes to wear ties that completely clash with his suit/shirt because they are a conversation piece or some shite like that. So, once I started college, I would get the loudest possible tie he could find at Wal-Mart for Christmas every year. They always made it to my December 30th goodwill pile.

In high school I watched my boyfriend’s mom verbally denigrate a gift from someone. Just totally annihilated it, making a spectacle. I swore then I would never criticize a gift and try to be happy with whatever I get. I can almost always find some redeeming feature.

My parents got me a framed Manchester United poster when they went to England.
