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
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I showed my father a nice sweatshirt online, hoping he would take the hint and get it for me. He did, three sizes larger than mine, for himself. FML
Today, I finally got a Christmas gift, a calligraphy set, for my father that I have been looking for for a month. My dad came home happily with the same calligraphy set today, saying that he surprised himself for Christmas. He got it cheaper than me. FML
Today, the first gift I opened was from my uncle. It was $80 in clothes that I'd bought for myself a week earlier. FML
Today, my brother found 100 bucks in his coat pocket. He was so happy he bought 2 new games for his x-box. He was borrowing my coat. FML
Today, I realized that not only did my parents not get me anything for Christmas, they also stole the $500 my grandparents gave me to buy a computer. FML
Today, I gave over $100 to my online friend in presents for Christmas, only to find out he can't use any because of his strict parents. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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 :)

What's wrong with having 2?

That breaks a rule for my family, basically December is too close to Christmas to buy anything for yourself.

I think this is a guy thing. They want something but can't wait for it so they buy it themselves. When you have 5 brothers, Happens to me all the time...

Yup. Can confirm. My family learned years ago to just give me cash, since I already "have everything" or I buy right away.

Looks like you have a new jacket!

This is why I put a two month freeze ban on my husband buying himself anything every holiday season, otherwise our family, friends, and I would never have anything to get him!

Who the hell spends 500 bucks on a piece of clothing?

It's not that much really. Ski jackets easily go for around a thousand.

A good quality leather jacket can also easily pass that $500 mark, a nice suit usually starts around $500 ish. If it's something you really like and you'll get some good use out of I don't see why not.

Sell it on Amazon.

Ebay!

It may be non-refundable for cash money, but odds are the place you bought it from can give you store credit. All is not lost!
