I know that my wife got me a pair of moccasins that I wanted, because I was home when the box was delivered.  however, she wrapped up a note that says 'use the Force' to find them.  I have looked without success, and she won't tell me where they are

A good set of tweezers is a useful tool.

Or for really small screws also.

Those look like nice tweezers and could come in handy. Much better than the bulbous gap-tip chrome-plated rust specials that my mom used to keep around the house.

Even manly men get splinters, and those eyebrows aren't going to shape themselves.

Top drawer of my tool chest. Various tweezers, picks, magnifying loupes, and hypodermic needles. One of my soldering projects on an RC micro heli was way too delicate to do any other way.  I stripped and cut wires with the tip of a 20g hypodermic needle under 20-30x magnification. At that point, it wasn't a needle - the bevel and tip were microscopic knives.

I know this doesn't count but i find it hilarious.  One year my father bought for my mom a vacum cleaner and a fire extinguisher he actually thought she'd like these items because she had mentioned needing new ones

Good gift.  Put it in the glove box of your vehicle.



Around here "Bob"  (aka Bug Out Bag) gives gifts each year.  First year seemed like a bit of a joke to my son's & their wives.  Since then they have looked forward to what "Bob" comes up with each year.  Tweezers, small scissors & other items like that for a first aid kit for your bug out vehicle are essential.





FTR:  This year Bob gave an LED clip light, hair ties (for the ladies), some ACE bandages.

We were at my Bro's for Christmas Eve last night.  Under the tree - addressed to me - was a package marked "From Santa" .  I tore off the wrapping paper and surprise!  A three pack of white mid-calf Tube Socks.  The three pair were held together by a paper seal - which had broken - and all three pair looked as if they had been tried on or worn, then crudely refolded, and the seal placed back around them.  I think that my gift was three pair of used tube socks.

No, she travels quite frequently and always takes the ones from home. I asked her 2months ago to buy a second pair so we would have a pair at home when she was gone. I guess she felt they where gift material.

FIL wrapped up a drinking glass out of his cabinet complete with dust for me. Which is marginally better than the nothing I got last year because he "wasnt in the Christmas spirit". The bad part is we get along well and he has came into some money the last couple years.

Those are in the 2nd drawer down. Also some rattling around in the kitchen junk drawer, a zipper case with scissors/knife handle/rat-tooth/clamps/etc. Oh, and there's probably a needle driver on a workbench.

I am guessing she must be pissed at me about something, hence the funny business.  we opened gifts approximately 8 hours ago, and she hasn't mentioned anything about it since.

Methinks this will be a "no cooch check" Christmas to make it even better.

Went to bed at 3am after driving around in some great weather looking at Christmas lights. All was well.

Wake up at 930 to find her not talking to me. The whole 'whats wrong' ...'nothing' bullshit game except this time I had ZERO fucking idea WTF the problem was.

After we started literally arguing over nothing, that I knew nothing about I come to find out that she is apparently mad at me because I didn't wake up early and make her some sort of Christmas breakfast.

Wait, what?

We never discussed this. There is no 'Christmas breakfast'. This hasn't happened before so its not like I forgot. It was seemingly invented sometime between 3am and 930am, today. Plus I have crab to make for lunch and prime rib for later; not like there's nothing to eat today or that I'm sitting around doing nothing.

So what happens? Does it deescalate because she realizes that this is fucking retarded? Oh no. She packs her bag and goes to work. The bitch went to work. TO WORK. The hospital clinic is closed today. CLOSED. But she went to work to sit there and do who the fuck know what. Because of some breakfast that doesn't exist. Yeah.

So now my plans went from Christmas, gifts, hanging out, to, drinking 40s of Miller High Life, smoke a cuban Cohiba on the patio, 9.6lb prime rib for 1 and eventually switching to scotch.

What. The. Fuck.

One year when I worked for UPS, they decide that since they made us work until 2:00 AM on Christmas Eve, they would give us nice presents for Christmas.

They gave us frozen three pound turkeys on the way out.

First, where do you get frozen three pound turkeys?

Second, what moron at UPS thought that their employees did not buy their Christmas dinner in advance because they hoped that UPS would give them a miniature turkey?

My mil has to be the worst gift giver ever.

She lives in Kissimmee, FL and is always getting me something from those janky knock off "Disney" souvenir shops. This year she got me this "lovely" blanket because she said she knows I love the colors and like Halloween. Neither which are remotely true of course. Its supposedly from the Haunted Mansion ride at Magic Kingdom. First off, its barely large enough to cover me. I live in Florida and its hot as fuck, I rarely use a blanket even on the bed. And...really?!

I guess its better than the wood and magnet fishing game she got me last year that said ages 2+ !
