tinfoilhat Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 My wife bought me lacoste polo shirt last year it was nice but a bit of a tight fit so I asked for receipt to take it back her answer no have , ended up in big argument with me complaining that she has just wasted 3,000 bht and yet again failed to keep any paperwork Don't think I'll be getting anything this year...lol If i were your wife i would have countered saying you gained some weight and should eat less. if you were my wife you wouldn't be getting anything for your birthday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdo Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Around last August I saw a large embossed mural of a mother and baby elephant which was expensive but I really liked , I pointed it out to my GF and said I planned to buy it when I was feeling flush, it would fit the spot above the television perfectly.....she later returns and takes a photo on her phone of this work of art, takes the photo to a particularly incompetent street artist and commissions him to copy this picture onto a large canvas which she then presents to me for my Christmas present, now while this act was both thoughtful and touching, I am now left with a 1m square crap painting of a totally deranged looking elephant and equally sad and ugly looking calf staring down at me from prime position above the TV, I don't have the heart to tell her I don't like it and for the life of me I cannot seem to be able to come up with a plausible excuse as to why it shouldn't be moved into the spare bathroom . Take the lady out to dinner after arranging for a mate to enter the house in your absence, using a spare key or leaving a window partly open, to remove the offending object. You are now the victim of an art thief - and there is no point in calling BIB is there? and do it when you plan to replace something expensive like a laptop or camera, or ideally the tv itself. that way you buy yourself a new toy and get rid o' the eyesore. unfortunately it doesnt work if you live in a half decent condo. Wish I had come to you guys for advice earlier....what a cunning plan ......just hope you guys dont feel too guilty if it goes tits up and you see pictures of me sheepishly being paraded around by the BIB for falsifying a crime scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

besth Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I always used to get books. She knew I liked books, she didn't know (or care) what kind of books. Sometimes they were exchangeable. Sometimes a last resort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhandjoe Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Coincidently OP my Thai wife first ever present or attempt at a present was a wallet also. I believe this was because of my ability to peel an orange in my pocket and only produce exact notes from my pocket. My wife have been very generous over the years since with presents taking it to heart, give all her friends nice presents etc, however i end up with items that never fit or aftershave. Now i sound like a grumpy old man when i say "just buy me socks!"Lol, i wouldn't mind but i'm only 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Got a nice shirt for work. As my birthday is due soon, I am looking forward to getting a new shirt again along with a new wallet. I have already asked for it. Now, it's bad luck to receive a wallet without any money ... so make sure your partner knows that. Same as donating in the Temple ... it has to be her money. To add to the myth ... maybe suggest that amount of money contained in the Wallet as a gift equates to the amount of good luck to received. And Honey ... you do want us to have BIG Good Luck this year ... don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Honey ... you do want us to have BIG Good Luck this year ... don't you? Thanks for your thoughts. Now I know why my luck has turned around. I have got empty wallet twice, and yes, there was no money in it. Of the empty wallet, I will scold her a little bit. I will let her know that the wallet should contain some beer money for Sa-mee She will love this and be happy to comply with the "luck policy."
