If it were me that this happened to, I would just tell her politely that I would not like a tie as a present. It keeps it from happening again, in any case.

am I the first to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! on FML ?

idiot don't do that ever again i hate seeing that sad face women make.

women on the other hand love the sad face men make(:

Well ill be the devils advocate for a second and say this in OPs defence, that was a really bad gift from his girlfriend, she clearly doesnt care enough about her boyfriend to get him something nice or put any effort in, I mean can you imagine if it was a woman and her boyfriend bought her some hair clips or some stupid shit, this would be a non stop attack on her boyfriend, so OP you said the stupidest possible thing and your girlfriend really needs to put more effort in her gifts.

Besides, hasn't anyone told OP "don't look a gift horse in the mouth"?

FYL for the bad gift and awkward moment.

Hahahahah. It sucked as a gift anyway

last thing a guy wants for his birthday -tie
first thing a girl thinks of when she gets something for her boyfriend's birthday- tie
seriously, y bother? just give him a blowjob, it would be free, and he will always like it

This is my theory for gift giving... also a nice home made meal of their favorite food and dessert.

lol everyone does that at one point.

She gives you a gift and you immediately think tie? Does she get you a lot of ties or something?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i c nothing wrong with this fml

If you're lucky, she'll think that you just peeked at your present beforehand.

HAHAHA. AT LEAST YOU DIDNT GET A BOW. LOL THAT DUZ SUK. I H8 BEING SAUGHTY TOO. TRUST ME, IS HAPPENED TO ALL UF US B4.

AND U KNO WAT I H8??
Bad grammar and spelling.
