My sister does it to me all the time:

The 'Supermodel Girls' Calendar
A bonsai tree pot....but no tree
Cologne - I'm allergic
Giant milkshake maker - I'm lactose intolerant
A jumper I'd rather burn than wear...pink?!?!

With me and my mum we explicitly say what is floating our respective boats. My sister just gets cheap shit so she can spend the rest on herself.

Actually, that reminds me..

Last year she asked me if there were any books I'd like.

I told her that I'm a big Harry Potter fan, and I'd love the Harry Potter books from Italy when they went there (they live in Italy in the summers).

I mentioned that I was reading the fourth book, and that I still had my Canadian edition.

So they sent me a copy of the Canadian edition of the book I told them I was reading.

They also once gave me a magazine dedicated to Harley riding, knowing full well I'm a sport biker and abhor Harleys.
 
I think i'm quite lucky when it comes to recieving gifts from the family because we have always just asked each other what it is we want and then just go out and get it. Even as far back as I can remeber, there was no bullshit about some fat old guy climbing down the chimney, it was just "so what would you like this year?" Saves a lot on arguments over getting the wrong gifts. It doesn't work for all families but our family rarely see each other so pretending you know what the person wants seems pointless.

No.. you're not.

I can't even go to Vegas because they're running like 8 Cirque du Soleil shows there.

OMG, I would die.

I remember being a kid and my dad took me to the circus. And this clown came running up to us laughing and acting all crazy and it scared (almost literally) the shit outta me. I started crying and holding onto my dad's legs, standing behind him, almost pissing my pants, and this clown just kept going on and on, laughing in my face and saying, "Hello, little boy! Do you like clowns? Do you want to play?"

I've been terrified ever since.

They can put a guy in a hockey mask running around hacking people up with a chainsaw in a movie and it doesn't bother me. But when they break out the clowns, that's when I get totally freaked out :(

I'd die too.

Last year, I had to almost violently turn down about 4 Cirque Du Soleil tickets.

we were going to Vegas for a convention, and my boss offered to buy us tickets. I had to say no about 8 times before I had to explain to him that i'm afraid of clowns.

Then people in the industry started inviting us to shows.. "Oh, we got you tickets to go see _____". you can only graciously turn them down so many times before you have to say "FUCK NO".

Finally, a member wrote me an email telling me that he worked managing the box office at one of the casinos, and that he had set us up with front row seats for one of them. I said we'd be too busy, I said we'd be too tired, I said I have so many things to do .

He would NOT take no for answer.

so I had to tell him that I had a fear of clowns and would just be unable to go.

he was like "Oh.. geez.. the clowns are all friends of mine and I had told them to come and pick on you." I would most likely have lost it and beaten the shit out of one of them in front of a stunned audience.

Good thing I told him, eh?

I'd pay money to see that ;)

Most likely I'd be on the side shouting, "Yeah! Get 'im!"

:rolleyes:

Yes, definitely. But it kinda sucks you were almost forced to finally tell them the real reason. Most everyone I know is aware I don't like clowns. In fact a friend of mine teases me about it to this day. But it would be rather embarrassing to have to admit it to someone else.
 
I love this thread, Jasun. I have really laughed at some of your family's faux pas.

You know, my family is just the same way. My Dad has really gotten smart since my mother passed away--he sends us cheques in beautiful cards.

I usually end up putting the money in a slush fund, and buy other presents with it, but I always love what he writes; "spend the money on you. Love, Dad"

What I find troublesome, is the fact that so few of my family members send thank you cards these days. I don't mean when we all exchange at Christmas, I mean for the other times of the year, when I send a gift or gift card.

My mother would be very upset.

As for your family? I would love to see your face when you open their gifts. I am very glad that your sister didn't send you a new set of hair brushes.

Keep the faith, handsome. :kiss: (*8*)
 
thanks, Irish.

Oh, they're not so bad, and I've actually made peace with them all recently.

I guess Carl's being in jail has kinda made us deal with the underlying problems, which for the most part are meaningless misdeeds that happened 20 years ago...

My sister jealous that Mom liked me best, my brother's discomfort with the sexual experimentation they did in college and their animosity not only over the comfort I had with it but the ease with which I seemingly dealth with it and how I only seemed to yell at them, my mother's inability to cope with my ever-changing moods.

My father is still a conundrum to me, but i think he's just an absent-minded professor who is still kinda confused by this huge family he never really meant to have.
