I have two.

1. Secret Santa - rules were we were to spend max £5 for a works SS. I got a woman who never stops talking - ever! I thought the prezzies were supposed to be funny and as she was mid 50s I was a bit limited. I bought her ear plugs so she could give them out to the rest of us in meetings. Prezzies are being opened and after 3 or 4 I'm thinking hmmm some people have spent over £5 easily! She opens her present, quickly hides them under the table says thank you and leaves virtually straight away. Following year at a meeting she requests not to be in the SS because it ruined her Xmas the year before and thought it a cheap present after she'd spent £10 on drink for someone else :lol:

2. At macro (cash and carry) they sell these huge toilet rolls, must be for elephants or something. A running joke in my house as to who uses it all as there never seems to be any left in the bathroom. If I just said I bought one and the missus opened it on Xmas I think you can figure the rest out :eek:
 
I had a similar experience with a secret santa. I got a member of my staff, who in a light hearted way, I've always said was a bit to old for me. I got her some hair curlers and a can of dry shampoo. The reaction was better than that of two girls, one cup...................................priceless :lol:
 
Not me buying but..

For years and years I wanted a mountain bike as a kid, birthdays and Christmas went by year by year and I never got one..

Christmas 1995 or 1996 (can't remember exactly) - I woke up to a shockingly cold morning, ran down the stairs to see what I had got and there it was! A no name heavy as **** mountain bike...not amazing but it was MINE!

I quickly called all my friends to tell them I had finally got a mountain bike and would be showing it off very soon but each friend I called didn't want to come out to ride their bikes on that horrible cold and dismal Xmas day..nor did they want to come out boxing day or any other day for the next 3 months..because their parents had all bought them ****ing PLAYSTATIONS..

I was devastated and that day I rode my bike around my road for about 10 minutes before I decided it was time to go back inside in the warm and pretend to be happy about the mountain bike I couldn't even lift up a curb because of its weight (I literally used to ride straight in to them in the hope that I went over them)

Ah..memories!
 
Parents bought me a metal detector one year.
No, i've no ****ing idea what they were thinking either!
