Today, my Dad came home with a $500 jacket that he'd bought himself for Christmas. I'd bought him the same one, and it's non refundable. FML

Today, I went down to my grandparents' house to spend some time with them. I was in the guest room when I noticed a box in the corner of the closet labelled "Crap". I opened up the box to see my Dad's John Elway Autographed Football in it. I got it for him for Christmas, it cost me $600. FML
Today, nearly Christmas, my dad got mad because I don't have enough money for holiday festivities. I can't afford things because I haven't gotten my paycheck yet. I work for my dad. FML
Today, as I was waiting in line to give my mom her birthday present, my dad gave her the exact same gift I'd also bought for her. FML
Today, my dad found the Father's Day present that I spent at least ten hours preparing and decorating. I'd expected him to be extremely happy about this lovely gift. His only reaction was to ask if he could exchange it for something else. FML

Screw it, wrap it and put it under the tree anyway. Teach him a lesson in patience.

You have excellent present-choosing skills, OP! Hopefully you can sell it or exchange it :)

This is why I don't buy things I want until a two weeks after Christmas (I have family all over the world so presents are often late), because one time I bought my mother a 800 dollar ring she had wanted for ever, and wrapped it and put it under the tree. She had gotten herself a present, which ended up being the almost, same ring.

Sometimes it's nice to have 2 of a really nice jacket, so it doesn't wear out so fast and you have a spare in case something happens to one.

That sucks, op. I guess you could keep it for yourself then?

your life doesn't suck if you can afford a 500 dollar jacket ?

Our family rule: No buying any presents for yourself starting on Thanksgiving until after Christmas.

Sounds like you're both dumb for spending $500 on a jacket.

A few years ago, I bought myself a dictionary within two weeks before Christmas. My mother got angry at me, because she bought the exact same dictionary for me for Christmas. She didn't know what she was going to do with the dictionary, and told me that I don't get a gift anymore. I also got lip from my sister. It was a dictionary! Who buys someone a dictionary for Christmas -_-

This is obviously fake, you should be able to return anything.
