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

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 :)

A few years ago that happened to me with my mom: I gave her the duplicate with the condition that she had to give it away or donate it. She still talks about how mean and cruel I was that year (she's a bit selfish so that was hard for her)...but she's never bought herself a gift the day before since

Give it to him and have a laugh about it, then see what the options are for selling it and get him something else. He's your dad, I'm sure he'll understand and be happy you got it for him

I hate people who buy themselves gifts prior to Christmas when they know they're getting gifts

Why would you spend $500 on something you can't return or exchange?
