He bought me bananas

[TightWadBastard]

It's my birthday. I would have liked something nice. I went to the cinema with a friend on Saturday and we went to see the Minions film because nothing else grabbed us. DH came home today with my present. "Oh, you like the Minions, so I bought you bananas." He didn't even gift wrap them.

FFS.

Don't you dare apologise to him!

Maybe write a card to him, or put up a banner.

"Shitty presents will bite the giver on the arse"

I asked dh for a handbag. I wasn't expecting a designer bag, but I was so disappointed with the hideous, tiny, plastic clutch bag he presented me with.

My ex husband bought me a yellow shirt from river island when we were in our twenties, it was my first skinny fit t shirt and I loved it. The following year I got the exact t shirt again but in red. I was not as pleased and he didn't understand why. Still better than tropical fruit though

This is what Amazon wishlists are for, that way dumbass DH's dont even have to think and you get something you want!

Tightwad, mine always wants me to apologise too, it's so confusing!
I pointed out that his sil took his dd away for a spa weekend for her bday, but somehow "that's not fair" of me to mention! Erm because it makes you look like such a tw@t??!
Absolutely no apology needed in the case of the shoes, I think the minion response was utterly perfect!
Cheers o'clock sisters!

Don't apologise. One good banana deserves another.

After the early years when DH used to buy me lovely jewellry (chosen by him ) as presents, we decided that in fact we'd rather have experiences than things so we tend to go out/on holiday for birthdays . I do sometimes sneak in the odd biggish present for me, bought on the joint credit card. I already have my new handbag (my birthday is in October). I'd hate it if he bought me clothes or such like And he knows better than to buy household goods .
I always buy him a tiny prezzie-usually booze or chocolate- but it would never cross his mind to do same We haven't done cards since we moved in together. He isn't mean , just doesn't see why it matters. And it doesn't really matter to me . Though a gift wrapped new car on the drive would be nice....(he hasn't bought me flowers for 20 years either)
He never queries what I spend and is generous in other ways
