Socks and shaving gel on February 23 give so often that it became an occasion for sarcasm. But some men know: the standard "gentleman's set" is far from the worst. On Defender of the Fatherland Day, we interviewed the heroes of the occasion and collected the top 10 failed gifts that they had to accept from women's hands.
Attention! All that is written below is the personal opinion of the heroes of the interview. After each story, you can like (if you think that the gift is really good) or dislike (if you agree that “this is a fiasco”).
1. A joint trip to the nail salon
Arseny, 28 years old:
- This gift was made by a girl whom I met at that time. She gave me a car mechanic a certificate for manicure. No, of course, I heard that some men are doing this, but I never planned to replenish their number. I had to go to the salon under her strict supervision (it was written on a pink cardboard that the procedure was joint). Well, seriously, Dasha! Of all the procedures that this office offered (massage, sauna, some kind of relaxation), you checked the box on the manicure! I’m a man, Dasha!
2. Cheerful clown
Dmitry, 34 years old:
- I was 32, I met with a girl, and our relationship was already at the stage when frank conversations happen. I once mentioned that in childhood I dreamed that I would have a clown on my birthday, as in American films. He said and forgot. And what would you think? February 23, evening, at a festive table set for two, my beloved announces that there will be a surprise now. And he comes in! Cheerful, <...>, clown! It turns out that while we had dinner in the kitchen, he patiently sat in the room. That evening was all - and tricks, and competitions, and "their own atmosphere." There was no more awkward moment in my life, either before or after. Better shaving foam and socks!
3. Inflatable woman made of balloons
Alexander, 51 years old:
- The women in our office, it turns out, are creative. I don’t know, they themselves twisted these nymphs or ordered somewhere, but each guy from the department had to go home with an inflatable woman at the ready. There would be a "classic" model, it would be possible to blow away. And here from balloons - except to burst. The chief did not allow leaving these beauties in the office. I did not dare to go home with my wife with such a present; I put the poor fellow on the landing between the floors. The neighbors called Elvira, went out with her to smoke and take a picture.
4. Skydiving
Andrey, 30 years old:
- My restless wife gave me a joint parachute jump, knowing that I was a rational person and did not like unjustified risk. Needless to say, I was not thrilled? But we still jumped. Yes, the advertisement didn’t deceive - this is really an unforgettable experience. But I would not repeat.
5. Hairbrush for bald
Eduard, 40 years old:
- I began to go bald at the age of 25, at first I complexes, but eventually I put up with it. I'm not the only one. But then the niece congratulated on February 23, and something again was sad. Gave a "comb for bald" - folding nonsense like headphones with two combs on the sides. Probably, young people have such “trolling” in common use, but it still seems tactless to me.
6. Condoms
Leo, 45 years old:
- A story from my youth. I had a girlfriend, a girl from the category of "my boyfriend." We talked well, and drank beer together, and went fishing. He was young, green, did not notice the catch. Although sometimes it seemed that somehow she looked at me strangely. And on February 23, she gives me ... beer and a pack of condoms. He stood and did not know where to go. I still remember this awkwardness - it only interested me as a friend. Sorry, Natasha!
7. A bouquet of dried fish
Victor, 42 years old:
- I have seen such jokes before - though only on the Internet. He chuckled and did not suspect what a problem it was. Girls at work presented a bouquet of dried roach, beautifully tied with a ribbon. If you only knew how everything reeked of fish!
8. Apron with a naked woman
Ruslan, 32 years old:
- At work, gifts for Defender of the Fatherland Day were distributed according to the principle of a lottery - blindly pulled from a bag. I got some kind of pornographic apron. Dissect in such a dress in front of his wife? No, thanks, I want to live. Here are the costs of a young and friendly team.
9. Beer box
Sergey, 38 years old:
- Probably, for most men, a box of beer is a great gift. But in my case context is important. In our company, the girls prepared in advance, thought out gifts for men. They gave Yurik a set of wobblers (he loves fishing), Sasha, who is a snowboarder — some glasses for skiing in the mountains, got confused with Max — they found some rare fish for his aquarium. And they gave me a beer. Foul somehow I felt. Either I'm such a limited alcoholic, or women do not see me as an individual.
10. A bouquet of socks and pants
Anton, 29 years old:
- Who are we? Women! What do we want on March 8? IPhone! What will we give to the donor of the iPhone? Bouquet of cowards! Yes, it was this masterpiece that I received today from my wife. She tried, twisted them into the same rag poop and packed them in a rustling wrapper with a ribbon. Do it yourself! I felt very festive.
So, we decided to publish only 10 stories - in fact, there are much more “screams of the soul” recorded. Among the presentations that I remembered for my whole life are a hamster that is clearly ill with something, shoes that are not suitable in size, and a set of cutters for a person who has never had a router. And how many inappropriate gifts of an intimate nature! So, ladies, on the eve of the holiday, try to find out what your man really wants.
